    For a 540cid or bigger, naturally asperated, pump gas boat motor, what is the best,race ready, bolt on aluminum head you can buy for under $3000 a pair?
    AFR, Dart, Brodix, World, Edelbrock, Trick or someone else? Al

    AFR and Canfield CNC'd heads come highly recommended and are reasonably priced.

    Dart or AFR CNC packages are hard to beat for close to that price.

    I have the Victor #7765 CNC ported heads now. I have all the flow numbers on them to compair to other heads. From a pure comparison stand point, I don't see any numbers that are much better, however, that may not be the whole picture. More info is appreciated. :idea: Al

    Thanks Fiat. I checked out the info that you advised. It was a big help. Also found the www.chevyhiperformance.com site and their flow charts.
    It also appears to be a big difference between the posted flow rate numbers and the measured flow rate numbers. There is a fair amount of time/cost involved in dyno and flow bench testing. For a lake boat it is okay to purchase the best you can and not spend the money to get the "ultimate" possible flow. Thanks again. Al
