Cylinder Head Vital Specs - Power Curves

Cylinder Heads Rhs Lightning Cylinder Head

The RHS 23-degree cylinder heads come complete with high-quality Comp Cams components (valvesprings, retainers, and keepers). They unleashed 468 lb-ft of torque from the 383 small-block at 3,900 rpm and 422 horses at 5,500 rpm. This head incor-porated a larger 72cc cumbustion chamber, which produced lower compression on our test engine than the smaller 64cc chambers featured on many of the other heads.
