You probably need to get Ken to move this to the Comp and Modified section.

I'd call Slawko.

As I understand, Glenn Knowlton in Minnesota did the cylinder heads for the SS/CS Firebird owned by Randy and Michael Mans.
I been told Glenn passed away earlier this year; however, there amy be someone still running his shop.

We do the heads for James Antonette's SS/CS engines with those heads.Not going to be easy to make that power with flat tappet cam. He has been 9.20's with the car in that class.

Dart has recently came out with some decent stuff but, your asking alot with that combo. I don't know how good they are.

Dyno 06-21-2012 12:50 PM

Re: GM Performance 25534446 Vortec Large Port
 
I do not think there is a program for the new Dart head yet or a piston to fit the chamber.

SSDiv6 06-21-2012 01:05 PM

Re: GM Performance 25534446 Vortec Large Port
 
As I understand, the new Dart offering is based on the prior offerings from Racing Head Service (RHS) when they got rid of all their cast iron heads.

Dyno 06-21-2012 01:47 PM

Re: GM Performance 25534446 Vortec Large Port
 
The spark plug location on the RHS is to low if you cut the head.
