The BRODIX 18X offers the best of both worlds, 18° horsepower without using expensive shaft rockers or offset lifters.
This head offers a dramatic horsepower increase over the 23° cylinder head.
Several advantages of the 18X are intake ports that flow over 320 cfm out of the box, an intake valve size of 2.140, raised intake ports, and shallow combustion chambers. The 18X is an excellent choice for the budget-minded racer who wants to go fast.
