has he had any problems and ive been told they out flow the vic jr i have a set of vic jr heads on my 408w and i dought a RHS 185 will out flow them and would an rhs 200 be to much for a 357w my buddys building i think they would be fine. when i had a 357w with the vic jr heads and a mild cam it seem to run alright and up high it pulled like a wild horse really throw you in your seat. alot of shops told me tho that i wasnt getting my full abilty of the vic jrs with a 357, alot of them said that i would have to rev to 8500-9000rpm to get my full power out of a 357w i think they were a bit crazy to say that.

i was speaking with adder about heads last night. he said his RHS heads flowed like a mother ****er but they didn't align well. I guess he had issues with intake port & water jacket alignments.

Have a set of 180 RHS heads on 332 with Comp pro magnum rr. Only have 286 miles on build. Motor is street and stupid strong. Pushrod guide plate need to be massaged for 302. The 351 being taller is not as much of issue. Here is all the information you will ever need to know.<jwilliams@racingheadservice.com> John Williams 877 776 4323 ext568. He is the man at RHS to answer any or all questions. You can ask adder but he did not know the only difference between 180 and 200 Rhs heads is size of intake port and runner all else is same same.Tried to enlighten him gave up. PM if have questions

i think you may have misunderstood my intentions when I got the 200CC heads...

after the problems that I had with the 180's not fitting, i was not willing to put yet ANOTHER set on my motor. The reason why I got the 200cc heads was because they did not have any bare 180cc castings available when I sent mine back as defective. so I agreed to take the 200's. Shortly after they came in.. I was selling them.

so before you go telling people that "i didnt know the difference" blah blah blah.. try getting my exact reason why I did, what I did

How quickly you forget. I tried to advise you of pushrod guideplate issues I was having with my 180 RHS. Wrote maybe you might want to advise potential customer of your 200 RHS heads that they are best sold for 351. Advised you of guideplte issues with 302. You questioned why I did not understand that you had 200 not 180 heads. You lacked understanding of what I was trying to say. Once again the only difference is size of intake port and runner. This was back in April this year when I started. What we have here is a failure to communicate. Blah blah blah does that make you feel better? Get your story straight.

So your information, although correct, was based off your flawed logic of the idea that I was buying the bigger heads to get a better head. I was OFFERED the 200CC's as a compromise because the IRON 180cc heads I had were screwed up.
