Nope, mine are on there. I have 853 castings which jay liked to use, said they ported better or something to that affect. Did you buy them directly from Jay?

Yes, the first set he sent didn't flow well and were sent back then Jay sent the heads that are on the car right now which were not flowed and just thrown on the car. They should be 853 castings but I have always been skeptical because of how much power my car makes.

Your car makes decent power though for a small cam, 12 bolt and older ported heads.

I put down 461/425 with a 230/234 cam 114 straight up with these old ABS heads of mine. I see alot of other newer and way more expensive heads/cam setups not do as well. I think Jay knew how to port heads well, just maybe didn't run his business very well.
