There is no doubt with those numbers, 390 CFM at .600 lift, that you could not make a very streetable combo run low 9's at 408 CID
Career best 8.02 @ 169 at 3050# and 10" tires small block power.

I am just questioning durability of said engine when it is raced weekly. Not 3-4 HEMI or Mopar shows a year. Can the last for 3 or 4 years like the "old school" stuff can without blowing the bottom out of them. 
They have another beefier engine on the way as well, 6.2L Supercharged Hemi (called HellCat)..that'll be the block you'll want, although the 6.4L Apache block hasn't exactly been tested yet, so it shouldn't be written off.

IIRC the Apache and LSA numbers are the same or very close.

I'm also super impressed with the flow values and potential of the Gen3 Hemi. I think this will be the next big step for Mopar. Just because you can go to Walmart and by some cheap Chinese valve covers doesn't impress me performance wise, i.e. Brand X....

no, but what does that matter? they are available.
oh, we should be happy mopar made a head with huge ports but blow up over 7000rpm?
more insulting is the fact that a guy takes a junkyard 5.3, throws a turbo on it and makes 900-1100hp with junkyard motor. can't do that with a hemi

Why can't one thread be posted without having more than three replies and it turning into a pissing match. Nothing ever really good comes from it or gets resolved.
I thinks it's great. BES is pretty good at what they do, and winning the engine masters with a gen three hemi shows they know what it takes to make power.
I think the ls is a great engine but mopar people should be excited that we have some new technology that shows promise.
The apache head has been approved for stock and super stock as well.

I dont know why anyone would even bother with an LA based SB or even a big block when these will put down numbers like that.
Maybe because some conventional LA based small blocks can make 1000+ N/A with a cast intake and sinlge 4.
.....and some conventional big block heads go to 1250+, N/A.
Those are some nice heads BES does, but lets elevate them to "top-o-the-heap" status. They obviously make a real nice street and mid level race deal.
Very true, but $ for $, I would think those heads and a good race shortblock would come in cheaper than either.
yeah, you're comparing some ported, but pretty much off the shelf production heads that are $1100/pr according to the above link to some max effort W7/8/9 heads, or some max effort indy 572's or B1-MC's, etc...

72SWINGER, what block would you bolt these heads to?

Probably the one they were bolted to if I ever score a 392 out of a junkyard. There are plenty of things that disappoint me about Mopar halfassing certain things on their current engineering. Like the crank issue? That definitely blows, but who wouldn't build a stroker anyway? Why can't they build aluminum block Gen III hemis and put them in SRT cars from the factory? But Chevy does. Why did Chrysler cast crossbolted Hemi blocks all those years but couldn't cast crossbolted 440 blocks? Yeah us grassroots guys have been getting screwed since 1964!

They're at about 350 @ .550 OOTB.
Good numbers. The trick is to get within 10cfm peak but annihilate it from .0 to .300 lift. Get the air moving quicker earlier.
Big peaks don't impress me on flow sheets or dynos.
There are very few modern hemi shortblocks which can even imagine using that much air effectively.
Why do you think good flow from .000 to .300 lift is good?

Just to touch up on some stuff.
There is a lot of guys starting to run 6.4 apache heads on 5.7 blocks I am not 100% but i think once you bore the 5.7 block you don't need to notch the cylinders.
On the Factory Alum block issue i would love a factory alum block "cheaper"
However even the Gm guys don't like running the factory alum LS block around 550-600hp mark they switch to the iron block becused it is stronger.
Last thing you got a 392 out a junkyard iam jealous
Keep posting you build please i love more info when you can

I'm hoping that the 6.2 IS a stronger version of the 6.4 which is a stronger version of the 6.1.
It would be nice to have a block you can overbore for the same price as the 6.1.
