The dyno results were tested back to back at Cropper Automotive to insure accurate test results.

The first test is a 430 cu in engine with completely CNC ported Track 1 227 heads.

The second test is a 430 cu in engine with the out-of-the-box 18X heads.

The third test is a 430 cu in engine with the completely CNC ported 18X heads.

As you can see, the horsepower increases with the upgrades in cylinder heads.

* The economical 23° CNC Track 1 227 cylinder head is the best standard 23° using all the existing parts.

** The 18X cylinder head is the best out-of-the-box 18° available.

*** The completely CNC ported 18X is one step better, creating a 35 horsepower gain over the out-of-the-box version.

The CNC porting assures the most consistent ports possible. Flow numbers vary as little as 2 cfm per cylinder.
