Default new heads!!

so i'm pretty sure i dodged a builltt thanks to you guys. i had ordered the patriot freedom heads from blow by racing (btw BBR can suck my *****...have yet to get my money back aftera week and a half) but anyways i cancelled the order, cuz i saw some of the pix and reveiws on them...im lookin at some dart heads now( http://www.dartheads.com/products/sb...gle-heads.html)...they look pretty good, and with a name like dart i dont see why not. i dont mind that they're iron (they'll take some extra abuse[sm=lol.gif]) but yeah, has anyone heard anything bad about these heads, better yet, does anyone have these heads?...anything would be great guys, thanks!

Never used them, but have talked to many who have and they are very happy with them.

You might as well go with aluminum. Modern aluminum alloys are very strong, and most of the good aftermarket heads have thicker deck surfaces to increase their strength anyway. The only reason they make iron heads is for stock type race classes that require an iron factory style head.

either those of edelbrock heads. edelbrock is on the top of the flow list but comparable in price and has had not had QC issues in many years.

^^haha.nice...and to stella94...another reason to go with aluminum over iron is that the aluminum dissapates heat better than the iron..
