Ok I got some dyno #'s today. 482rwhp/435rwtrq
408ci, Dart 225 heads ported by Bret, Custom B-spec cam, Fast 90, ARH headers with cat'ed y pipe to SLP loud mouth cat back, A4 trans with a yank 3600 converter, Dana 60 rear with MT ET drags.
Got a little tuning to go, not sure if the #'s will improve much more though. It's hard to believe how good this engine rev's, it's crisp as heck.

They flow around 317cfm, but the flow #'s aren't the big thing. It's how they flow that air that's make's them work so well. The valve job on these heads has a lot to do with the power. And the have a CNC combustion chamber.

Well...The "vendor" problem is not what I am refering to. Dart assembled heads have had quality issues. Some choose to buy them bare to control the issues. I'm not saying ALL the assembled Darts have problems but many have. FWIW Bret Bauer, Bauer Racing Engines will put out a kick *** Dart head.

This is a set of Dart 205's with Bret B's 240cc port program. I think I have a flow graph for the 225's somewhere as well.

I will, but it's going to be a while. I'm majorly scrapping for funding right now. I'm going to finish my 93 first. Then, it's on to my Formula.

Do a search on Texas Speed and the Dart heads........ only "quality" issues that anyone has ever had.... funny what the wrong valve seals will do.

Honestly it depends on what you want. My stuff was 120% custom one off stuff so I paid significantly more, BUT I still consider it a bargain for what I got.
I wouldn't be surprised if this thread gets locked....

There are no quality problems with Dart 225CC heads,somebody screwed around with valve guides and created problems.When I had my tune done at Eastside in Conn.Ken Q told me he had never seen such a clean running LS.If you need a great running head and don't have crazy expectations they are fine.They are especially good on Forced Induction because of there extra thick decks.I run mine NA ,they are out of the box and bolted on.Wanna go really fast get some Trick Flows or ETPs.For the money Darts are the best.
