Yep, same here. Got my 243 heads in at 2:17pm, perfect timing. They look great, thanks for the help Gunnar and for running such a great deal for all of us here at LS1Tech.

just out of curiosity what is the difference between the 243 and the 2013's? Iv read they are both LS6 heads, so whats the difference? What would be the expected hp gain on a set of ported heads? with my cam in my sig and stock compression?

Im looking to got more than the 15-20hp iv read on this thread, (not to bring out any manufacture names) but a set of AFR's will net close to 40hp, what in their design makes it capable of doing that?

Same or better flow on smaller runners, which equates into more velocity.

The 15-20 hp you mentioned was in unported stock form.

AFR's are compete aftermarket castings with redesigned runners and
chambers.

Apples to Oranges.

Oh, c'mon. A newb actually uses the search function and you guys have to pick on him?



jsafe - found this link with the following info:

That was in reference to their Predator heads, but I'm sure these guys could answer questions on 243 heads as well.

Good luck!

I'll be pulling my Patriot stage 1's off my engine in 2 weeks. They were cleaned up to 63cc's. They have the dual springs. They will be for sale if you're interested.

I knew this was an old as hell thread because I bought a set of these heads from Gunnar 3 years ago. This was the first thing I bought off of this site. I actually bought them before I bought my car.
