Yeah, What J said. Was simply posting in regards to the castings.
They seem to work very well, just a shame Bryce is a crook.

So, if you consider the port work to bring them from 191 to 225 is worth 1000-1400$, you are in the same range as the AirWolfs were priced at, simply a matter of paying for it, or doing it yourself.
I'm not sure what the best numbers guys are getting from the E-brock Performer RPMs.
I considered the Indy 360-1 245 for my build, but when you add a grand for rockers, and considered the amount of reports I heard from end users having water leaking problems, I avoided that route.

Kinda sucks about how things went down in regards to the Air Wolf head. IMO probably the best bang for the buck head ever offered for the SBM. I though I read some where that someone was going to acquire Bryce's program and produce them. Might have been Chad Speier, I don't recall. It would be nice if someone would pick that ball up where Bryce dropped it. Heck for that matter make an offset intake rocker version too.
Like others here, I would like to have seen some real world flow #s from legitimate independent sources ( not bogus advertising #s ).

So they are cast in china, BFD. Well , for some of us it is , and for some of us it isn't. I DO get that they are an affordable alternative for many. But I also get what sending our money and jobs off shore costs us in the long run. I have no intention of changing anyone's mind. Buy them or don't. I won't.

Am glad to see some of them reported that work, but for the money id hope they would.
Im sure DJ got a killer deal on the castings as the best I could get was $835 a pair for the CNC units but im sure that has changed since they seem to sell a boat load of them, ha ha, wonder how many the boat holds.
But at say $850 for the castings, and the ferrea 6000 series were $300, comp springs, tit retainers I think im like $1450 with a 225 cc runner.
John here is the chart from PC, I never flowed the 190 cc castings and this was said to be with the 2.02 intake.
Thanks for all the good info and pics!!
Fastest 300
