They are NOT improving ANYTHING! Just another Chinese knock off of an already produced head. It's another unnecessary choice in an overcrowded market. I guess unless you are to broke to buy the American version in which case maybe a look at lifes decisions might be in order.


Hey Al,.. Relax, we're just having a discussion about cylinder heads here bud. No need to start slinging insults.

Crowded ??.. certainly not vs. Anything Chevy.


There would be 20 oe more Chevy guys to every Mopar guy, it's a crowded market



How many offerings for the Mopar crowd from AFR ? . Zero, How many from Dart?. Zero, How many from Profiler ?. Zero.. etc.etc.

See my point ?


Look at your signature ... 906 heads .... too many mopar guys want a head that looks like a 906 when you open he hood , that's part of the reason the companies you mention are not doing it , never mind if they did someone would send one them over to china to have a half a$$ed copy made .


running up my post count some more .

Crazy thing about this big block rpm copy is Speedmaster doesn’t offer this head. They only offer the Victor copy which has caught lots of guys by surprise after they received them. Not sure why they didn’t catch the huge runner volume. Speedmaster being one of the biggest off shore head sellers was surprised when i questioned him on this. It’s like they forgot about a part number that would sell probably 8 times better than the Victor copy. Hopefully they offer it soon because I would grab a few set’s during the 40% off sale.

I really couldn't care less about the external looks. I just thought the idea of a head moving 340cfm @.700 through a standard port would be helpful with any of the common stroker combinations.

You mean “almost” std port openings.
Hopefully the amount he has raised the roof at the opening doesn’t create an issue when trying to use a std valley pan gasket.

Personally, I would have opted to keep the opening truly “standard” for gasket compatibility, and not worried about the very small increase in flow raising the roof opening that about would get you.

I have gotten 350+ out of a std port head without modifying the opening…….. so I know that size opening will support that much flow.

No insults meant just statin my opinion on buying AMERICAN parts, rather than Chinese knock offs when there are plenty of American options. We arent talking about buying a TV afterall plenty of USA made options.
