Default Dart Heads

Just wondering if anyone has tried the Dart heads for ls-1/ls-6. Looking to buy them, just want some feedback before i get them.

I just ordered mine from SUMMIT (the 225 ccs) b/c of my D1SC blower running up to 15 lbs in the near future!!

KP is running the same DART heads with his D1SC and a little 01 Z06 cam and he has a consistent 9 sec car at 140mph! Enuff said for me right there!

CALL SUMMIT quickly as they have a KILLER sale going on right now which you probably know about for $1,290.00 shipped, fully assembled, with a strong single spring good up to .625 lift (made by PSI and a litte stronger than comp 918s)!! WOuld of preferred a dual spring for sure but at that price i could not take a pass. Also know a C5 turbo Z06 guy who is REALLY IMPRESSED by these heads and are running them also!!

Another vote from me.
I picked up some excellent hp and torque all through the power band. Went with the 205s and really picked up a ton of low end torque

I'm going to be running 225's with a FAST 90/90 with other mods in sig.
I was told to run 225's because of my cam and stall not spending much time under 3000rpm's I guess it matters what your looking for out of the car,daily driver i probably would of went with 205's, put I'm looking for 1/4 mile times so I went 225,hand finished the ports(cleanup) having them milled to 59cc and a Cometic .040 gasket. You'll have to flycut the pistons I had a couple of guys on this forum help me figure my DCR and it should be a good combo, I'm waiting to get Flycut tool from LG, should have it Tuesday. I'll get back on the Forum and let everyone know how it does after it's Dynoed, but more importantly RACED..
