Be careful that your pistons fit the Indy head chamber.When ordering pistons we always specify for Indy head chamber. I would ask for the flow sheet for those heads and the chamber size and volume.Still wandering 450 cfm at what lift?
that is exactly my point! i specified cp hemi pistons to kenny and he said absolutly no problems with fit! now i know the difference and you already know it. i got lied to and two years later i still frustrated.
Jimi,We had the same problem years ago with a set of pistons we got from Chrysler,they smacked the heads front to back.They beat off the chamber and grenaded the engine in the lights at 142mph.It's not something you soon forget.

Tony,I can't really answer that.I use them as a supplier,my engine programs are all developed around Indy blocks and heads.That we as engine builders go over most everything we use in a build insures that the product is correct is what everyone should do.To rely on the manufacture to build things to our specification would limit us to changes during the build.I'am very satisfied with the products and their CNC programs as well as their handling of our account.The staff have be very helful in resolving any issues that arise.As far as Russ and Kenny,they are very helpful and we very seldom bother them for every little problem,but when necessary they are always helpful.We make sure that our customers are satisfied since they rely on BGR for their needs.To be honest we have not had any complaints from customers that we drop ship direct from Indy to.No matter who the manufacture or supplier is the builder or end user must check everything.We are in the processing of correcting for use multipal sets of Jesel and T/D rockers as well as a lot of valve train componants that don't work or fit properly.Follow all the other post about Strange,Barry Grant,Comp Cams,Harland Sharp,440 Source and on and on.Seems no ones perfect.We do the best we can with what we have.When things are produced on a large scale anything can happen.I have no quick answer for anyone.
Bob thats not what I am talking about. doing a correct vavle job is not making them to a customers specs. quality control is the issue, hjere's my feelings for what it's worth. I have used many indy parts and like them. here's the but, if they are going to sell them they should tell people they are rough and need to be sent to a machine shop for correction. not every body knows to have BG or somebody else build them and make sure everything is correct. and thinking they are buying them directly from indy thinking they are right. if it were me I would have quality machine help and quality control to make sure nothing went out thats wasn't dead on. just a matter of pride to me, guess they don't have any..

Bob can you explain why we continue to see inferior work coming out of indy? seems like some body would make an effort to send things out that are right
98% of the people on this board have said the Indy stuff needs to be purchased through a 3rd party that will look over and clen up the stuff. Even Chris complained about Indy in the past but he is still willing to go direct through Indy get the Indy products through any WD and have them look them over and make them correct and you will have a great product
Russ
Russ, trust me, i wont ever buy direct from them again. i am going to get them from a indy dealer. ARC built my hemi motor and it made great power so i will continue to let him build my motors and clearance all the parts for me. he is more than capable in checking the parts prior to assembly.
DRAGULA i also have 11.6 compression with JE pistons, im hoping there wont be any more machine work involved. was wondering if the pistons will need to get flycut.

Well anything that is mass produced is going to have what I call Go-No Go set of tolerances.. If you want it exact as possible that means CC each chamber, muli cut valve job and milling along with port matching...On our motors I usally get un-cut domes so I can fit domes to heads and flycut my own valve reliefs..Indy stuff has made it possible for Mopar racers to have some good componets to build with, instead of having to find 40 year old stuff to build motors with.

Do yourself a favor before its to late and buys some Stage V's from Tim at FHO. http://www.forhemisonly.com/
That's what I did He had a set of cnc indy heads the last time I was there. The ports are the size of the millennium heads and the flow is nowhere near.
Tim.
