Much as I like the Gen 3, don't forget the discontinued 59 degree W9 also flowed 300 out of the box and had potential above and beyond that. But comparing an aftermarket race head to a dirt cheap OE production head ain't exactly fair  As far as the block taking it goes, there is a reason MP built the 392 at std bore, and it was not out of laziness. Don't bore it. It will surprise you.

They need to start racing these things in roundy round cars then I think people would start buying. Matt

So if the new srt 8 is using the 5.7 Me thinks the 6.1 is on the chopping block.
Hey ZIPPY PLEASEEEEEE ask them to turn the 6.1 into a siameses bore block before they they scrap it. Matt

I just called my parts guy. The price i got was pretty damn impressive.  But he says there is note that the heads have no valve train on them, says they are core heads. So who has actaully seen these heads and what comes on them?

No rocker arms or shafts.

I was surprised when I opened the box. Go to be close to $100 in plugs.

The best over here was 359.00 Canadian. Look at Dodgeparts.com it will give you a ballpark figure. You may get them cheaper there but remember, when you buy from a dealer close to you, you save delivery. Matt

Already did, about a year ago or therabouts.
Response was aluminum, aluminum, and aluminum.
That was the end of that 
Yeah I figure they are catering to people with money.
I just read that the 392 is only going to be 1492 units, so maybe the 6.1 isn't dead.

Ok so you just use the stock valve train off of another set of heads.
Thanks for your help!
