Default ARE cylinder heads?

Any of you guys heard of ARE? I just bought some used ported 243 heads that were ARE prepared. I wanted to contact them. Did a google search, no luck. Thanks, Tom

Tom, they are now 'autoworx'. Give them a call, ask for Pete. Tell him you got the heads from me, he knows me and can give you info you are looking for. Good luck with them! Let me know what kind of power you make. What cam are you going to be running?

Wango Tango, Hello, I'm not sure. That's something I wanted to ask them about. Obviously these will flow a good size stick, but I am not sure how rowdy I want to go. It's a 6 speed car with a stock LS1 short block, LS6 intake, Blackwing and LTs/catback system. The usual bolt-ons. I want to take advantage of the heads flow but I want max torque to be in by 4000-4200 rpm and then be flat to about 6000 or so before dropping off. Max of about 65-6600rpm because of stock bottom end. Tom

Hi Tom,

I had a 232/236 in my car when I had my 346, and it was nice. Made good power. Personally, I'd probably put in a 231/237 from TSP, or something along those lines. Maybe an F13 or F14 from Futral.

Good luck buddy.
