Off the record said port what i have since a good program has been done on the 325's.

Just so ya know.... In my post I meant no disrespect towards any of the guys that offered advice here. I'm sure they've all forgotten more than I know. I threw Bob's name out there because sometimes we (at least I) can sometimes get SO much info/advice that it can become a bit too much to sort out. That, plus I think all would agree Bob is a trusted source.

Good luck on the adventure!!

I was told similar about the AFR's and i know firsthand the wait for AFR is ridiculous the price per head was $350each/$700set less expensive.

Although AFr's are a nice product you have to ask are the price and the wait worth it?? comparing AFr"s to darts is like comparing a ford taruas to a chev. impala IMO.

I also tend to think the obvious regarding Afr's arrangement w Teague....location location location!!!! and Teague is not cheap...the prices are just carried along to the customer.

I am stating my expirences and info i learned over time....I am by no means knocking any of the above mentioned co's.

Another very general, and I would say mostly incorrect statement. Where is everyone getting their prices from? If a comparable Dart was that much cheaper I'd use them, they definitely are not. The last set of AFR's I ordered took 8 days from time of order to my door, in Canada. If you're having a hard time getting heads, or reasonable prices, call Bob Madara. He is a Dealer for both.

I'll give Bob a call, thanks for the heads-up. The prices I've been getting on AFR's so far have been the in the top two most expensive of all the heads I've priced out so far which include; BMF, Brodix, Dart and AFR.

What did you pay?

tcwcar 12-02-2011 06:59 PM

I'd payed $3350 for a set with hard anodizing, inc. ext. valves, and spring change for hyd roller....

tcwcar, where did you buy them, I have a friend that is looking to buy a set

tcwcar 12-03-2011 04:51 PM

I get my parts through MotorState....Joe

Advantage 575 12-03-2011 09:58 PM

So which Dart head option: port my 325cc or buy the 335 cnc. Can the 325's if ported out perform the 335's? Dart is my only option because I want to reuse my valves and hardware.
