They have roughly the same potential as a rpm if you plan to port them. They seem to be a good quality aluminum and a good casting.
My porter did mention he thought the short side was shorter than a rpm, kind of like a 516 head.
But I’ve seen Duane and others on here say these are the easiest head of the budget ones to get 300cfm.
I go straight to a better head if the port work wasn’t free. By the time you put all the work into these you’re only 2-300 dollars less then a trick flow. To me these days just getting trick flows is a no brainer for this category of performance heads.


Not trying to stir the pot, BUT is this true on the Sidewinder Dwayne ? But I’ve seen Duane and others on here say these are the easiest head of the budget ones to get 300cfm.
