ARAO 32 valve cylinder heads

[Gas_in_my_veins]

Does anyone know anything about ARAO aluminum cylinder heads? I have seen flow tests and dyno results in magazines that make these seem like the end all to high flow heads. But then, I fail to see them in any street rods. If anyone has any knowledge (good or bad), please speak up. At about $5000 it's not something I want to invest in and then have warp in the heat of rush hour traffic.

I too have seen them in magazine articles (cleverly designed advertisements, really) but never seen them on anybody's motor. With the cost of them, you could built a heck of a 16 valve motor instead.

yeah, but if some of the independant tests are true, you're talk about bolting on 85-115 horsepower. That might be worth the price of admission. The reason I ask is that despite their claims, I vaguely remember someone telling me of some problems customers were having. But no particulars. Figure someone here has to know.

Try Wayne Presley -- www.verycoolparts.com. He lists them -- but seems like latest info is about the stack system. (Also "very cool"...)
