Default Dart ls3 pro 1 heads

Hello I wanted to get any feedback if any regarding using the DART pro series heads. Any have good results ? The flow specs are very good compared to others. I’m doing a complete top end upgrade. Thanks for any valuable info

I've never used the Darts.....that having been said, the Darts have a 280cc intake runners.

The AFR LS3 Mongoose heads flow better, but with smaller (260cc) intake runners.

Also, the AFRs have a 12* valve angle where-as the Darts are 13*.

As far as I'm concerned...….AFR all day.

Best of luck with whatever direction you go.

I tried searching into these as well for results and couldn't find any. I did notice that Darts deck wasn't as thick as other aftermarket heads, not sure if you're going to be FI or not.

I wound up finding a good deal on a set of Brodix BR3 and decided to give them a try.
