dajogejr Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Chariot and Noss both make a fine head. I personally like the Chariot for a few reasons. Less Orings, sleeker look and it's available in Chrome.... It's not like you're choosing between a yugo and a Porsche....these are both good choices and site sponsors. if you're at or near sea level, I'd get a 20 or 21cc dome to run on pump gas.

dragbanshee Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Dave has spoken, basically all you need to know. Keeping your compression at 150ish and below will let you run pump gas, most anything above that will need to bump up to raising the oct. or race fuel.

JasonsBanshee Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Get the FAST head from Jeff. It's a Noss head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Save yourself the trouble and have your head shaved. Benefits are the same. Minus the bigger cooling ports? Wont have to worrie about buying a $20 o-ring kit every time you take it off. Cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Wont have to worrie about buying a $20 o-ring kit every time you take it off. Cheaper. What is the difference between buying an O ring kit and Buying a head gasket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapout94 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 listen to dave and buy the chariot... less o rings and less hassle! i currently have a pro design cool head, and will be making the switch to chariot. i wont make the pro design mistake again!

Keyser Soze Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 What is the difference between buying an O ring kit and Buying a head gasket? You can reuse a metal headgasket...or at least I do.......Ive seen people use gasketmaker.......You can make your own paper gasket from gasketpaper...its really cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 You can reuse a metal headgasket...or at least I do.......Ive seen people use gasketmaker.......You can make your own paper gasket from gasketpaper...its really cheap I reuse o rings and I wouldnt re use a head gasket. The head gasket seals by being compressed. It wont come back to its original thickness when you take the head off. O rings will. josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4stroker Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 the most important part of an aftermarket head is the combustion chamber design of the dome you are going to use. in my experience noss are the best off-the-shelf domes.
