I'm planning on some WCCH's myself, everything that I've heard has been positive. Seems their customer service is great too.

WCCH's customer IS NOT good at all.................it is TOP NOTCH, the best I've encountered on this "truck modding journey" so far.

Doing business with Richard was like it was 20-30yrs ago, very customer service oriented.

I have spent some decent money on my truck and dealt with various companies and if I had rank them 1-whatever, WCCH would be #1, and that's a no *******.

No one has the cubes to support it NA. I see what your saying. Do you think people are sacrificing power under the curve or torque just to play the numbers game and have heads that will flow more than they will ever need?

These heads that flow huge seem to sacrifice alot of velocity especially the cnc'd gm casts, thats why Im interested in the Darts as they arent hogged out for the sake of flow numbers, Ive been thinking about velocity and less cfm making more power under the curve and running better et's

area under the curve.(AUC) reminds me of pharmacokinetics class.

anyway, i have spoken to Richard. I still dont know what to do. How much are the Darts and where do I get them? I'm looking for fully assembled heads.

The Darts are 62cc I think, their going to put the compression up a good bit. Thats not going to be too good for boost. I think the Darts are 650 a piece assembled. What cam are you using?

help me choose.

I know ET heads work,they were on sale last month for $1400 with a cam,I almost got serious.You can find there past sponser sale on Ls1.Do you have 6.0 (317)cores?
