Iam running a set on my Irocz with the stealthram, as long as your intake can be ported to match a Felpro 1206 intake gasket. I had to weld up my Stealth in order to port it enough to seal. For the money they are great heads, flow numbers are nice and fit great. Only thing i had an issue with was right on the inside of the intake runners there was a step from the cnc bit finish but didnt take much time to smooth out.

Ive got an edelbrock performer rpm manifold so m sure it could be ported. Anything is better then the 882's I have on it now though.

I don't see where the Felpro 1206 gasket plays into his combination. Maybe a Felpro 1205?

I was just adding that b/c Brodix require's the 1206 for those heads, i laid out a 1205 against the surface and it over hangs the inside of the ports even the little bead they add to seal it. I had a time sealing everything up and getting the Stealthram just right to seal. The IK180 uses a 1205. Hope this helps, Chad

LOL yeah 882s are pretty horrible. That is the biggest step up ever.

Well I only bought the car a few months ago in a non-running condition and I am building it it and getting it to run good. Why the person before me left the 882 heads on it but did so much other work to it is anyones guess though. The choice is down to 3 heads. The Brodix IK200's, Motown 220's from world products, or a set of 210 race ready AFR's but I kind of dont want to spend the extra 500 for those.

I'm looking at the KC IK 210's (aka Wild Things) for a 434 small block I'm putting together. I just ordered my custom Ron Davis Racing radiator with twin spal fans. next the trans then heads. World Products will have their CNC heads soon!

For a street 383, I wouldn't go as big as a 220 head. It'll cost you too much throttle response and mid-range power. Unless you've decided to swap cams since your other post, I would stay under 210.

Well I am switching cams to a lunati voodoo can with 241*/249* dur. @.050 with .525/.546 lift. Maybe I am better off with just spending the extra 500 on AFR's.

I can's quote exactly on the IK 200's. I am running the RR200's.

I think that the 2 are not that different. On my 406 the RR's work excellent. The car is absolutely violent anytime you stab the throttle below 25 mph.

I was looking at those heads but I did not see a provision for EGR. Maybe you have to drill them?

i am running the RR200's as well.. after a bit of work, they work well.. i could probably have chose a better cam for my setup, but i'm not in the economic situation to buy another cam/lifter kit at the moment.. for the heads, i smoothed out the combustion chambers, and milled them to 63.67cc.. huge solid flat tappet cam=the need for compression=detonation from unsmooth casting..

If you are going to have a lopey cam, you wont need to worry about EGR. They create their own internal egr.

If you are going to get the IK200 heads, get them now from Summit. They are now $968.00, which is over $100 less than what they were a week ago

Re: Brodix IK200 heads

Do these have heart shaped chambers? I can not find any pictures of the chambers. Even the Brodix web site does not show the chambers.

Re: Brodix IK200 heads

go with the afr 195cc eliminators. Flow more than most 210 series heads and still have good velosity. You wont get a better head than theirs. 1440 shipped to your door from tre performance. I just got mine and they are cnced from one end to the other not just in lets lilke other brands. Well worth the extra 440 for them. 280 cfm @ .550 low lift numbers is where they really shine though.saw 60 rwhp over a stock 113 on a mild 383 set up. here are a few pics of mine
