Default Brodix heads? Good experiences out there?

I was at the track last night and Brodix had a really nice display set up. I've been putting together my "wish list" of what I'm going to rebuild with which included AFR 190s. So I asked him what he had to compete. He said their new RR180 beats it on flow with pleanty of porting room left, and they will set up with specific springs/valves for whatever cam I'm using for under $1400 from a distributor. That got my attention!

But, I've never know anyone to use Brodix on the L-98. Does anyone have any experience with Brodix?

Heres a link to their product site: http://www.brodix.com/NewProducts/race_rite.html
Thanks

My engine builder uses Brodix a lot. Has nothing but good things to say about them.

We are going with the Track 1 CNC 227 heads on my 427 SBC http://www.brodix.com/onlinecatalog/...page13-14.html.

He already has a 427 SBC producing 780 FWHP using this same head. We'll be having some fun with that combination :yesnod:

I'd say go with them. AFR builds a good head as well, but they are not the only ones out there making good heads.

I use the BIG DUKE & BB-II always had very good luck, on 540-572 cid engines. :thumbs: I am doing a small block now but I'm using Trickflow's on that. :flag

Spanked... well slapped a bit :D
I guess in the end, does the miniram flow enough to fill either, is the question. If it will keep up with the AFR, then thats what I'll stick with.

What are the flow numbers on the RR180 head? AFR isn't the only head that makes power.

I have 215CC Dart Heads with my Miniram and they fill quite nicely. Dyno results to follow in 7-10 days :D
