Default Should I get Head from Brodix

I have a guy wanting my dragster (which I want rid of to get a Pro Mod style doorslammer) who is a Brodix dealer. He wants to do some partial trading. My engine is as follows;
I have Brand New never fired 540's in my boat with Crane 731's? (584/610 hyd roller) cams, 9.2:1 compression ratio, Merlin heads with 2.300 intakes and new Inconel Exhaust which have been cleaned up nicely considering what the original castings looked like, new coated springs, and Dominator flanged single four intakes and all the goodies.
My questions are how do Brodix compare to other heads out there for the money and which heads as far as intake and combustion chamber sizes would be best suited to my applicaton? Ad what would my Merlins be worth if I were to sell them?
Thanks for any input!!!

I've had a set of Merlins for sale for $800.00 for six months. I still like those heads over the GM. I think the Dart Iron Eagle is better. I would not waste money on Brodix for what you are doing. Dart Iron Eagle are the way to go.

I have run brodix for years and love them. They are a little chaeper then dart and perform just as well. Alot of the big engine builders use them.

Should you get head from Brodix?
If she's willing and you're horny...
Who names their daughter "Brodix" anyway?






Sorry, couldn't resist.

I've had good luck with the Brodix BB 2 xtra cnc, seen almost 1400 HP with 15 lbs
of boost. Ran them on 548 and 598, worked very well. M2 Racing does a nice job on the CNC.
