Duramax Killer about to be on the loose.

Id bet they will be worth every penny of what they cost. Im guessing they are in the $4K range?

I agree and I bet you're really close on the price .. these might be going on my list of things to buy .

 

[Dzchey21]

I'm betting 5k for ones with water jackets

I just have to say my hats off to the EDP crew for not only investing in this project but also just having the bawls to do it. I bet they are worth every penny and there damn beautiful too.

Those are going to be sweet! Can't wait to see what they will do

Your truck is already nasty enough, I can't imagine what a set of these will do to it. :jawdrop:

Those look killer. I may have to re-sign and stay over here in Afghanistan just to afford building something like this up.

Good grief those things are sick! I thought I had seen it all when I saw one of those indy heads that are all aluminum, those are almost works of art, poetry in motion!

Mike's numbers are a bit off.

Any CFM numbers yet? God those look wild.

stock is 120 these flow 320

Actually stockers flow 170 cfm peak.

elite's are 180cfm

Actually ours flow 220cfm peak.

Empire's flowing at 320cfm should be a solid gain over our ported heads.

What is the point of not having water jackets in the heads for race/competition? What does the water jackets hurt? Strength?

Solid heads are easier to make. Adding water jackets add a lot of complexity.

Most billet heads, even with water jackets, dont have enough water jacket for true daily drivers. Until Empire releases a cast head there won't be any true daily drivers running these heads.

Why would it have to be a cast head?

Because of the thickness of the materials. A cast piece will be a lot stronger then that of aluminum

 

[Erikclaw]

That is what I was thinking, but wasn't sure. Gracias

 

[Mdub707]

What is it that is just so sexy about a chunk of machined aluminum? I love it.

Glad to see someone step it up for the 6.4's!

Thanks for clearing that up Tadd , don't want to drop that much dinero if drivability is an issue , but they sure do look " sexy " !!

Nah just build two motors, one for the street and one for the strip and swap them out when you want to do one or the other. The wife will totally understand

:rockon:

Just like Dmitri... LOL

That's a great idea bubba . Eric you're always thinking ahead . I did tell her 2011 was mine and the only horses I was buying this year had to fit under the hood .

Someone should think outside the box and try a new material like Ti or some stainless machined heads. If I had the geometery to make a tool path.....

I'd say these heads are enough out of the box thinking to start with. I think once they are proven then it would be worth the cost to look at other materials.
