Ok so I haven't posted here in a really long time since I no longer have a Mustang.

So I got these heads after this company screwed up my motor. Well they had only opened one of them to show me and I left the other one wrapped up. Well the one they showed me was a PI CNC'd head that look brand new. Well after about 2 years of them sitting in the garage I decided to unwrap them both so I could take pictures because a guy wanted to buy them. I unwrap them both and the other one looks used and is a non-PI head The reason I didn't unwrap them both right away was because it took them a year and half for them to get me a short block and 2 years to get me the heads and by then I had already sold the car and wanted nothing to do with cars at all.

Well my question is, does it matter if one is PI and the other is a non-PI head if they were both CNC'd?

the compression ratio will be different with a non pi head.

Even CNCd, the chamber shapes are different, the port volumes are different, flow characteristics are different etc. So I'll say "yes, it matters."

Well the chambers look like they were CNCd too, I'll post up some pics later on tonight. The only other thing I could think of that would be different is the valve cover holes.
