Default Frankenstein Engine Dynamics Heads

Is anyone running Frankenstein heads on their c5? If so what kind of results are you getting? I’m hearing good things about them.

That's too vague of a question IMO. Results will depend on a whole list of factors. If you're asking if they're going to somehow make more power than any other head in any other combination, I doubt that's the case

There's a reason you cant find much about those heads. Do a search here and yellow bullet.
Nobody makes power with those heads

I am making almost 800 with their stage 2 LS1 heads. Good enough for me!

Mamo has proven results with his h/c/I setups. Other than that most guys just do standard sports on 243s. All depends on budget and goals.

Yea, how much boost or nitrous? 800whp is impressive but I think it is easily obtainable with port jobs from other shops too.
I have a buddy that put a set of their LS7 heads on his '06 Z. He was impressed at first because of the peak dyno numbers but the end result was that he spent a ton of money and the car performs the same or worse until 6500+ rpm. I am not certain what they have going on over there but I get the gist that they sell flashy parts and max head flow numbers and not stuff that actually performs well.

Then you'd be right. Look elsewhere
