SB mopar Victor heads

Sticker shock, kind of yes, kind of no, here's why it's not.
By the time you get your regular RPM heads and have them
Ported out to the max, let's say a CNC job by Hughesengines, your into them for a hefty price with less performance.

Hughes Engines
$1605 per solid roller Victor or $3210 for the pair
$2908 for the CNC version (pair)
$2847 for the big mouth CNC (pair)
Now go compare flow rates. Worth the money?
Yes IMO!
(And we didn't include valve springs to step up on the RPM heads or shipping from Hughesengines on the heads.)

Here is a direct comparison of Hughes' own flow numbers for the two cylinder heads in question. Taken from the hughesengines.com website.
-------------- Victor ---------------- "Big mouth"
---------- Intake--Exhaust ------ Intake -- Exhaust
Lift
.100 ------- 75.8 --- 57.4 ----- 77.4 --- 89.0
.200 ------ 167.4 -- 115.5 ---- 168.1 -- 139.2
.300 ------ 238.5 -- 154.1 ---- 236.4 -- 156.0
.400 ------ 296.2 -- 187.0 ---- 279.0 -- 185.0
.500 ------ 339.3 -- 212.3 ---- 304.8 -- 206.0
.600 ------ 357.3 -- 227.7 ---- 312.3 -- 218.0
.700 ------ 366.7 -- 238.6 ---- 319.9 -- 226.0
.800 ------ 371.3 -- 246.7

It's also interesting Compare OU812's numbers below to see how much difference using a different flow bench can make, Sometimes almost as much as 10% or 27.3cfm @ .600" lift between Hughes and OU812's results testing the same product.
