I know one guy who used them and think he said they ran as well as MILD ported aluminum LT1 heads. He then sent them to Advanced Induction where they await a little of Phil's magic.

I wish there was more info about these heads because I'd like to see how they stack up against the Brodix RR LT1 heads. When I talked to a rep at Brodix about those heads, he said that even the CNC'd version doesn't even come close to what they're truly capable of, because Brodix didn't want to infringe upon it's big brother the Track 1 head's territory.

A lot of the CNC work is pretty conservative on most after market heads out of the box and have room for improvment, once you clean them up they usually pick up nicely.

It's nice to know we've got options! If and when my motor comes apart, I'm putting better heads on it for sure.

I'll refrain from posting non-sponsor info here but just do a Google search for "Brodix RR LT1."

I looked on the Brodix website and it's not there, just a FYI. I did see those nearly 500cc intake runner "Maneater" BBC heads though.
