Brodix heads

224cc intake
2.100 int
1.600 exh
305 fps at pinch @.700
285 fps over short trun @.700

flow #

intake Exhaust
78....65 @.100
155....116 @.200
217....162 @.300
266....196 @.400

They look good on paper, but without knowing the type of fixture and diameter bore used to bench them, and the length pipe used on the exhaust we can't be sure. Also assuming it was using standard pressure.

Just like dynos, flow benches can vary a LOT from bench to bench depending on the operators testing methodology. Assuming the testing was done similarly, they flow about as well as my 227cc AFR 220s did after milling. Definitely have the potential to make BIG power.

They are done by a reputable machine shop. I will try to see if i can get more info on them.

They are 2,000.00 out the door. so price seems good compared to similar AFR's

Is that including the ~400 they charge to convert them to reverse cooling?

Seems legit. Is that with or without springs?

i would look into converting a edel 2892. its a better match for those heads.

Its a Supervic.

Would need to be drilled for fuel injectors though, and if you want it to look nicer you can cut the t-stat housing off too.

Ya i know that. was wondering how much better it was over a ported Victor-E. With these heads

Better entry. Bigger csa. It will port match to a 1207 port with a lot less work. Only draw back is it taller than the vic e.

I have a friend (Tony Shepard) out of Austin, TX to whom I was bragging about my newly ported TFS 23 degree heads. I'd posted the numbers to him and the best for my street/strip daily driver was a respectable 299/212 @ .600 lift.
Tony came back with this...
"Nice numbers Dave!

One thing though, if these are the first LT1 heads you have seen flow over 300cfm you have been in a closet. LOL

AFR LT1 heads flow out of the box more than your ported TFS heads. Not taking anything away from Lloyd because he does good work and has done work for me in the past. Just stating the 300cfm mark has been hit a long time ago. My CNC'ed AFR's are untouched by any head porter and flow 340 cfm. Todd's AFR's flowed 310cfm out of the box also."

Anybody that is looking for the largest head flows on an LTx based block.
