What heads are you starting with? I looked through the thread but didn't see a casting number. (I admit I could be missing it tho)
They are the Vortec 906's, these ones that have the Inconel exhaust seats. I had several sets to pick from...These are said to flow slightly less than the 062's & the 3 angle 906's, however I felt they would be better with the added heat & these were a VERY low mileage pair. You can see the number on the bottom of the one runner in this picture. Lorne

Lorne,

I've read that a zillion times too and I think it just comes down to someone read it on the internet so it must be true. I've ran both castings without ever encountering any issues or noticeable difference in performance.

Vile, The ones with the Inconel seats have a single angle cut (they do have a chamfer /backcut at the top) where the 062's & the regular 906's have a 3 angle cut so I do believe there could be a slight difference...Again, Can you feel it if you swapped from one to the other? I doubt it. Nothing an extra pound of boost won't fix ;D Lorne
