I've actually talked to them (Flotek) about heads. They told me there is a new cast iron head that they are releasing at the end of October called "The Hammer 205" that will out flow those. Asked for details back on Thursday, and they never replied. Kinda disappointed.

Why not look for a set of used aluminum heads, white? They shouldn't set you back any more than a new set of irons, and losing weight up front is always a plus.

Been looking for used, but they seem to be unicorns at the moment. Probably need to be patient and look more in the winter.

I had this guy on The Corral ask me if I wanted to buy an MSD Billet dizzy, a used flywheel, and solid MM's. Can't seem to get pics or any answers to my questions though. Kinda weird.

Thanks! I found it, plugged into the front bumper plastic. Right in front of radiators.... everything looks good, wonder why I'm getting the weird reading. Type to dive into the inter webs to find the issue.

I've got one more trip to make. Thought we'd have it done last time but kept running into problems. Then the baby came and I've been busy with her lol. Hoping to head back up there soon. Will post some pics and some before/Afters when I bring it back home

Brown Santa stopped by today..... 351W swap headers. Thought it was funny they came with a CARB certification number. Pretty damn sure these will work just fine with GT40P heads if I go that route (they have a different spark plug angle). My BBK 302 headers work fine with GT40P's.
