The difference in head height between the 572 and 655 is clear to see here, the valves / springs are way longer than stock to accommodate valve lifts of up to 1.0" . Indy also lift up the intake port for a straighter shot into the cylinder, the cast in manifold spacers mean you can run standard manifolds. The 600-13 X heads are 1" taller than the 572-13 X heads and it also lifts the intake aprox 1" higher. They flow just over 500cfm @ .900"

Yes, RTX series. They're brilliant but I had to wait a long time for it, almost 9 months :shock:

Link to website below if anyone's interested, I had to wait a bit for mine as they were short of specific IC's (there is or was a global shortage). No idea what the lead time is at the moment. Unfortunately they've also gone up in price a lot too :shock:

A Vid from this years first fire up. Don't worry about the smoke, the exhausts had some oil in from 2022's piston failure and I squirted some oil in the bores for winter, it soon cleared up. I don't know if it's psychological but the exhaust note seems to have a bit more of an "edge" to it, likely due to the increase in C/R but then again I always forget how it sounds over winter :lol:
