Direct Connection ( Mullen LA ) heads

Look at the pics.
They have offset pushrod holes, they are not OEM.
Dealer/factory performance part, yes.
I think the casting number is different than a regular 974 head, either way they've offset pushrod holes like a TA.
Thats why i say the numbers are disappointing. I and others can get 240's on average by .400 and 260s-270 @.500
They are very average heads. Historically significant, a collectors item. But for being an offset push rod head... they are barely worked.
Id use another head.
I would start out with those and optimize the rest of the package. I would worry about upgrading the heads until after that “ONLY IF THE NEED ARISES”. The rules cap the class with ballast addition at around the 6.90 mark. It would think they would still be adequate for that with 12.5-13:1 and 3070 pounds race weight.
