I was at a dyno contest a few years ago running a pair of RPM heads. We did pretty good with them and the Tech Ed of a magazine said, "Hey, I outta get you a set of Indy heads and see what you could do with them."

I waited..................a year..................and then bought my own. Ran across a good deal on a pair of EZs

The Indy EZ heads set on the shelf, until today. Just the plain ol' unported EZ heads. After messin' with the Stealths and RPMs it just seemed time to find out ya know!

Tested two out of the box ports.


          port 1        port 2


.100"       70 cfm      69 cfm
.200"      127          131
.300"      185          190
.400"      234          239
.500"      280          283
.600"      309          307
.700"      327          313

So we chose the second port, and after a few hours and a coupla flow test we had this,

.100"       81 cfm           
.200"      158
.300"      220
.400"      262
.450"      288
.500"      308
.550"      331
.600"      345
.650"      354
.700"      358
.750"      362
.800"      368

WHAT! Only 368 cfm! Can't I get a crummy TWO more?

Okay, lets pretend its a race only head and sacrifice, again, some lower lift. So then,

.100"       74 cfm,  rats
.200"      151   argh
.300"      214   come on, come on, catch up
.400"      265   whew!
.450"      288   
.500"      308
.550"      331
.600"      347   go baby, go!
.650"      358
.700"      362
.750"      368   two more, TWO MORE
.800"      372   OH YEAH!

And just think, I've got seven more ports to play with. Maybe we can still make these babies work. Tyme two bilt 'nother rollah kham motah?

My experience with Indy's customer service wasn't good, so Indy can keep their over priced sh*t. Got the impression if I wasn't prepared to spend $50K on a Hemi Legend "motah", they didn't wanna deal with the "Little guy". Even though, the little guy's money still spends. I was prepared to let Ken and Russ screw me out of some cash, but they refused to kiss me first.

Impressive numbers by the way.
