Looks like the EQ heads are killer for the money. Also looks like if one was to spend time porting them, focus on the exhaust runners......

Well refreshing heads and my head guy says there is a cheap and easy 30 cfm to be had, so I am going to clean these up for now, not fully working them but since I need to do valve job why not pick up a few HP as merlins leave a lot to be desired... 30 CFM or more has to gain something...

Well got some numbers today, we are gonna clean them up some but not go nuts, I am not gonna spend the money to fully work them right now, if ever, but there is decent gains to be made while we have things apart

Will be a good before and after comparison.
I was looking at the comparison that MT posted. Not especially interested in the #'s, more interested in the comparison using the same test equipment. Looks like the Darts were knocked in the dicl< after porting.
