Cylinder Head Vital Specs - Power Curves

Cylinder Heads Aerohead Racing Heads

One of the bargains we tested was the Aerohead small-block Chevy head, featuring a larger com-bustion chamber than most tested. It should be noted that this netted a lower compression ratio. These reconditioned Dart Iron Eagle S/S heads pro-duced a healthy torque number of 475 lb-ft at 3,900 rpm and 430 horses at 5,700 rpm. With these heads you can gain power and save money.
