I think they are pretty much obsolete these days. My understanding was they came about due to the lack of Hemi blocks back in the day. That is simply not the case these days. But contact Stage V and ask them. The Hansens are great folks, we used their stuff when we had a Hemi in the Cuda.

My list would be Predator....B-1 TS....B-1 PSO.......B1-MC.......B-1.......600-13......572-13......440-1 and then anything else. Might be some debate on the original B-1 vs the 600-13. Also a stretch to call a 440-1 a "race" head as it is common on street cars. I myself would pretty much consider anything less than a 440-1 a street head or street/strip head at best. Just depends on your performance goals and intended use. Just because you have an Edelbrock head on your "race" car, doesn't mean it was designed to be a "race" head.

Likely the LEAST user friendly head of the group is the B-1 TS, as there just are not commonly available parts to make it work correctly. Needs a custom intake and really needs the lifters moved in the block to be optomized

What about the B1 T/S 4.84 heads.. I remember you saying you have a set stashed away, and since the Predators are only 4.80 I would think that puts the B1 T/S on top..

I bought a set of FBS's recently, haven't arrived yet though. Once they do, I'll have them flowed. Will use them in our 478 turbo engine.

So where do Bulldogs fit in that list, I know they're not available and not many out there but that's what I'm stuck with for the moment.

I do have a set of 4.840 TS heads with the "Wayne County" head bolt pattern. They are currently at Buck Racing Engines getting some work done on them. They SHOULD be better than a Predator because of bore size alone, but I really didn't include them because of rarity and most don't even know they exist.

The Wayne County stuff is bad A$$!!! Just the look of them alone make other brand racers put their stuff back in the trailer

At the risk of sounding naive. What is the pecking order of the available BB aluminum cylinder heads? Starting with the best and working down to the worst. I have been just a bit confused by all of the offerings now.
Thanks,
