New heads on the way for my Dart, few changes
Oh! And yes! The cost is worth the return but not exactly a mere bag of shells in expense. Everyone wants to go fast but not many are willing to drop the coin on such parts for a nice power house engine build.
Even a nicely set of street ported heads, something like a CNC ProMaxx head or a set of Trick Flows is an expense many balk at.
There is nothing like a good flowing intake and exhaust track to let the engine breath easier and perform better with less effort to get better power returns. A lot of people seem to miss this. They also do not seem to learn the lessons presented here, or the ones from the factory. An excellent example of a great head making excellent HP with a baby sized cam and 87 pump gas is the Gen 3 HEMI.
There is a basic blue print of what you can do to your LA/Magnum right there. While it’ll never perform the same, it’ll perform very well none the less.
I’ve said it for years, get the best head on top of your mill that you can afford. We all ready have excellent intakes and the various exhaust options out there, are also really really good. IMO, your just left with a choice of a cam and head to use.
