Well Predators come to mind if it is truly and all out effort. My B1MC's work pretty well and flow 457cfm they help my 520" motor make 1041hp. Now if I just had a lighter car, I know never happy.

b-1 = faster, but some of the bracket guys around here say 440-1 more consistant

Well mine has been pretty repeatable so far in two race outings, hope it stays that way. Ran the number within .015 on 5 passes one outing and three the next.

If money is not an issue - Predator. If it is sort of not an issue - B1. If you need to stay realistic - Indy.

If you are the type that wants to go faster season after season, B1 heads have the most potential as far as commonly available heads. And you might just as well start with a set of B1Mc castings, and be done with it, full porting and all. I went with Indy 440-1 and had them redone twice, for a total investment of $7800 after adding it all up. Could have gone with the Bigger B1mc, and had Ti intake valves to boot.

B1 original or MC. the MC uses a 2.4 Ti valve.. so, they flow better than the original but cost about $800. more. Also, to use the MC you would want at least a 4.5 bore.imho

I have Indy's on my car now, but after meeting Scott my next motor will have B1s.
Scott is eazy to work with and a good guy to boot
Go B1
