Default DART Head Users COME IN!

List your setup you ended up using with your DART's (cam, rockers, PR length, gaskets used, milled?, ported?..etc) and results if you have them. Trying to get an idea of how they setup with different parts and how they perform.

Im still working a "knock" bug out on my set up as it was pulling 4.5 degrees of timing. I found my header (driver side) under WOT, was leaning on the K-member causing false knock (i hope thats what is causing it) and now my tranny let go but here is my current set and HP numbers with the above issues.

Out of the box Dart 205's milled to 59cc, X3 cam, stock pr, .040" cometics.

Put down 421hp.. Im hoping once I get a tranny and the header/k-member clearance fixed the knock will go away and hopefully be ~430 or so. Will find out come July.

Dart 205's hear, VHP 056 cam (216/224 0.551/0.551 115 LSA), Crane 1.7 rockers, Morel lifters, QTP Tri-Y headers. I have a Vararam at the time, and have since switched to the Callaway Honker. 393 rwhp, 386 rwtq and the torque curve is nice and flat.
