Just remember, You get what u pay for. U can put them on and bet some gains over stock, just don't expect Trick Flow or afr performance at 1/2 the price.....

Except they're not 1/2 the price as I initially thought. The price of ~$700 is for EACH head, not the pair.

The RHS215s are worth it.
The 200s you're talking about... iron? They are too heavy IMO.

Based on what?
What cylinder head do you have now?
What cylinder heads have you run?

I'm asking what foundation your opinion has here.

I own a set, and will go head to head against yours on a flow bench.
Then we'll run them on a dyno.
We'll consider +/- 3% difference a wash.

Not to jack the thread but I am buying some of the 180cc rhs heads regardless of what people say
Oh, they will be going on a 331 with a rpm2intake and possibly a 51014 or 51025 camshaft.

A local shop bought a set of there small block chevy heads. They weren't much better than the stock chevy double hump heads. He done some bowl work to them and picked up another 30cfm.

Also if you don't buy the heads complete from them they have cast valve guides, not bronze like in the pic's on the website.

my buddy has a pair of 215s on his cast crank 347. on motor through the 4150 and victor jr it runs 6.70s@101 in the 1/8 mile. we are hoping colder weather and some tuning will get it into the 6.60s. if the 215s are any indication, the 200s should be good to go. i prefer the TFS heads, but the RHS heads are have been proven to run good.
