In my name I think you can understand. From a 2800lb bracket car winning races and championships, to the most durable combination i have ever raced. My 471 in a 2800lb a body won. And won often. 500+ runs and it put in work until I decided to change racing genres. That engine is still running. Koffel ported and built B1 originals.
We probably won’t see any higher development of the wedge head design past the Predator heads. Anything like that already usually requires a Hemi block, so going to one of the Hemi type heads is usually the next step in the progression. It would be interesting to see what a set of Stage V Millennium Hemi heads could be made to flow in comparison to a set of equally worked Predator heads.
I worked at a CPD dealer from 85 to 89 and was the “Direct Connection guy”. You are definitely right about Mopar peeps being hardcore ( or is that hard headed ?).
You should do the B1 small block heads . I have had some good results with them. Fully ported with 2.055 i got 308cfm . 318 with 360 crank in 3500 lbs car first run out 11.005 120mph definitely a 10 in it. Just started on a set of B1 bamc heads.
Some 25 years ago because building a pump gas engine, I thought the port was too big. I asked Koffel for their opinion to raise the floor some, and they said it would be ok, but they told that it's very important to retain the odd shape. Said that it's for wet flow properties. I didn't do it after all, but the heads and the engine still worked great. I have flow sheets of maybe ten sets of B1's, and your numbers are pretty decent. There are better heads out there, I have FBS heads and they flow 440 with the same size intake valve and much smaller port area.
These brodix heads look great. For a Mopar guy wanting a more budget-minded big block with 600 street-able HP, the Trick Flow 240 and 270 heads are hard to beat though. These Brodix B1s are in a different class though!
Finally another mopar head. Love it. My neighbors I race with have 2 sets of these and the B1 MC heads. They're all bad ass for sure. The Brodix makes the best original inline valve configuration wedge mopar heads no doubt with the B1 PSO and MC. The next step after the B1 PSO for a "wedge" design is either the B1 TS or Indy Predator but they're a canted valve design.

I'm a Mopar guy... You did great! spot on with your explanations too.
Don’t leave out the AMC guys! There might only be a handful of us, but we’re as die hard as our Mopar Cousins.

Yup bout 1700 bucks bare and require specific pistons rocker arms valve train and what not for the heads if I remember right also.
Funny because David Vizard (engine god) says that big block chevy is under valved..

Thanks Eric! Love seeing the Mopar stuff.
Great content Eric.
I ran them years ago in the late 90 1962 dodge 500 cid 200 shot of nitrous solid 8.60 stock suspension good product
