Not sure I’d go “Modern”.... seem to keep reading issues concerning things like “timely manner” and “communication”. X2. I've been waiting 3-1/2 years for Bob to make me a set of SS Hemi heads. I sure as heck wouldn't give him any money up front and use a credit card to pay when he's ready to ship. I've called numerous times, get the voice mail machine. I never get any calls back, no return e-mails. He has time to post on FaceBook. I wouldn't recommend Bob to anyone. I had good luck with Jeff, a set of iron bracket Hemi heads and a set of W2s that Jeff did for me. Bob is not Jeff. I must be one of the lucky ones. Hes done at least 5 sets of heads and did complete CNC work, supplied the titanium intake and exhaust valves, springs and retainers and never asked for one dime till they were done. I told him I needed them in 4 weeks and they were at my door in 4 weeks. Every time. I have no complaints with Bob at Modern. He will always get my business.

I currently run a set of indy 325-1 on my 540. With 11-1 comp and a blower cam running na the motor made 720 hp. Car is 3100lbs ran 9.47 @142 at Lebanon valley. The heads were brand new but still needed new guides and a good valve job. I've only seen a few sets of Indy heads come thru the shop and they all needed guides and/or valve jobs. Indy has some expensive CNC equipment for porting but they either have really old equipment for valve jobs, or they don't know how to use the equipment. Never figured out how a shop had enough smarts to program and run CNC equipment but didn't know how to do a valve job. Just one of the mysteries of life I guess. Maybe the new owner will fix that issue.

Our 600-13X heads had broke through from ex into the intake on one port but there was a clear dip in the same spot where the cutter had gone in on every ex port on one head, guessing core shift had left that one thin. The other head had no such marks or issues. Easily corrected though if you know someone with a welding shop.

I know someone who has the 345's on a 440ci sbm (4.185x4). Its gone mid 9's in Avenger not a very light one either. It would be best to know what the current combo is, or the expectations. sorry meant 360-1's

Had a buddy run a set of CNC 345s direct from Indy on a 505 in a 68RR running 9.90s. They developed a pinhole in one of the intake runners fairly quickly. Likely slight core shift mixed with an overly aggressive CNC program. That was his experience...things may have changed since then. I have a set of aluminum 345-1's that are 8 or 9 years old that have been problem free.

Not sure I’d go “Modern”.... seem to keep reading issues concerning things like “timely manner” and “communication”. Never got anything from them but see the same stories for years. Never heard anything but good things about Best and Dwayne.
