what are svo heads?

[zkiller18]

hey guys. ive seen talk about 2v svo heads. what are they and where do you get them? are they worth looking into? thanx.

 

[sjrtx]

they have the old non pi style ports-but ported they will make more power than ported pi heads.

Houston Performance has two cars-one with ported PI's and one with ported SVO's-and the ported svo's make 40more hp.

i looked on the houston performance site. are the svo heads the frpp heads they have listed on their sit?

 

[madmatt]

Yes I do believe they are the FRPP heads, but if I also remember correctly they are pretty expensive.

 

[tangerine]

The svo heads without being ported are better than PI heads. They are not a version of the non PI heads. If you have ever read about them they are 100% completely different. They are better and If I had the money I would buy them over the PI heads

 

[zkiller18]

would it be a good upgrade on my '03 or should i just have my heads ported? thanx.

 

[BLK_ROUSH]

Much cheaper to have you heads ported.

Ported SVO/FRPP heads for the 4.6 are the best options if $$$ will allow. --- as I remember

 

[Modular2v]

i heard that svo heads arent as good as PI

 

[RedGTvert]

The problem with using SVO heads on a 99+ is reduced CR. Sure they are a better set of heads then PI's, but at a steep price and reduced compression.

For 99+, PI are the way to go.

Anyone know a ballpark figure for the SVO heads?

 

[tangerine]

would it be a good upgrade on my '03 or should i just have my heads ported? thanx.

I would have your heads ported because it would be a lot cheaper. If you have the money and you want to get the most performance out of your engine then build a short block with non PI pistons and svo heads.

Woh much do 4V heads flow?Just want to compare between them stock and some aftermarke 2V heads.

 

[Defleshed]

nice twogt's. Yeah getting your heads ported will be far cheaper

 

[zkiller18]

yeah... i have been looking at the patriot heads all along... awsome. does anyone know if the new 3v heads will bolt up? just curious. that would be a neat project.
