but I don't think that those guys care because their "extra" hp is so much less to buy!

Just park'em side by side & open the hoods & wait awhile & we'll see which attracts more eyeballs.

Default Does Arao Engineering Deliver?

I keep thinking about these heads, but hear lots of horror stories about undelivered product.. last two I read paid money in Jan 06 and had not seen anything in Nov 06 still..

I've been dreaming of building an all aluminum 383 block with Arao 32v heads and TWM Induction Crossram
http://www.twminduction.com/v8_kits/..._crossram.html

Hesitant to pull the trigger since haven't found anybody happy with Russ Arao..

It all depends which 2 valve heads dominion compared them to. I dont see any LT5 heads or Dominion 32v heads flowing 450cfm like the Dart little chief can. Check out MBE cylinder heads.

It looks like the 32valve SBC heads are flowing 348 to 389 depending on version....there best ones are about where the production LS7s are for flow.
