has anyone ran the victors yet? i am trying to decide if i want the 440-1, sr's or the victors. i dont know anyone that has run a set but i had heard before these were going to be the best bang for the buck. is it true they can flow 400 cfm? from all the heads out there the sr still seems the best for the money.any info would be greatly appreciated.

I can tell you right now Victors and Indy 440-1's
will not go 400.

Looks like stealth's are the best bang for the buck. I hear they go 320-330 range.
Not to bad for $1900.

I don't think the stealth heads are in the same league as the victors or SR's
I hear good things about the voctors but have not run them. I am looking at the EZ so I do not have to get other rocker arms

I have em with porting they will go 350 but you have to buy offset intake rocker arms, no way will the stealths flow that, there in the 275 out of the box. like the rpm.
I think stock 906's were around 225cfm

How much power are you trying to make and what is the shortblock? The Victor heads are okay but I'm not so sure they are a great bang for the buck by the time you add up the extras.

Personally I think the CNC ported Indy EZ heads are probably the best bet for most guys. They'll make 800 hp on a 500 inch shortblock and you don't need a special header or expensive offset rocker arms.

i am going with a 400 stroked to 500 with 440 source kit. i want to make the most power i can and if the victors are quite a bit more hp than sr's then i would go with them. i havent seen any information on a fully ported set of victors to help make up my mind.

I don't understand your statement about making the most power you can. What does that mean? Put a blower and run nitro if you want to make power.

Since you're using a production block you're limited to something in the 700-800 hp range. The Indy EZ heads can easily make that kind of power and you won't have to mess around with offset rocker arms or raised port headers.

There is this book you need to read . . .

Check back in a week or so. We'll all know then what the victors make on my 505 build.

of course everyone wants to make the most power they can. that was just a general statement, i thought you could understand that. ok i will try this again. i want to make the most power i can make with a 400 block stroked to 500. so what head would you use? victor, -1, or sr. or ?

I understood what you meant. You want to make the most power you can with those choice of heads. Its sort of a toss up. All three flow virtually the same..fully ported. But the best one out of the box has been the Victor. But I think you are talking about fully ported flow which= most horsepower. So it comes down to your personal choice. Each of these heads is a slightly different flavor of the same dish. The SR has better exhaust flow than the EZ. The Victor uses a bigger intake valve and should make slightly more power than either of those. So, of the heads you mentioned, IMHO, the Victor and the 440-1 would make the most power. Do you lke Edlebrock or ICH, thats pretty much the choice you will have to make.

If you want to make a lot of power with a low deck motor then run B1 heads. The B1 heads are designed for low decks and they'll make a lot more power than Victor heads.

yes. Original B1s flow about 415 cfm. 900 hp is pretty easy. You may end up spending $1000 extra over the 440-1/Intake package for the B1 Package, though.

The B1's are my personal favorite Wedge head.

They are the last heads you'd ever need. period

and they look cool with the matching intake (Best Machines motor)

Dose the B1-BS head have a raised exhaust port like the Indy-SR head?
