i didn't explain myself very well, lol!!!! only reverse flow for my motor, not the dart block, not that i am getting one, lol! smaller bore shrouds the valve.

Taner, I had a set of converted ProAction heads that were done by CFM in Indianapolis. They have done quite a few reverse flow conversions. I believe the price was $250.

Well they are a very small company from what i understand.. So i don't think they have the man power let alone the demand to do such a job. Have you asked dart to convert a set of pro 1's? I'm glad guy's are out therel ike you said =, helping us take it to then next level..

Taner,
The small bore comp-elim stuff works real nice with a 4" bore motor. 15 degree stuff is pretty standard, and a easy conversion on nice castings (gm, dart, edel). I have contemplated doing a positive 2 degree roll like current comp programs, this picks the DC up about 6%. Wanna be a guinnea pig

Biggest question is what are you doing for an intake?
