Cylinder Heads - Cast Iron
   
SD Performance spends an extensive amount of time on the dyno, at the track and on the street to develop some of the best performing Pontiac ported cylinder heads on the market today. SD Performance is the first head porting business to offer ultra precise 5 Axis CNC ported Cast Iron Heads for Pontiacs. All of our heads are flow tested on our state of the art computerized Superflow 600 flowbench equipped with velocity probes, but we’ve learned that what really counts, is how our heads work in the real world. A flowbench is a great tool which we use daily, but there is more to an efficient head than just flow, too many put their faith in flowbench numbers alone.

Note: SD Peformance has a large inventory of Pontiac cylinder head castings in stock, give us a call if you are looking for something specific, we can apply all the below packages to any Pontiac head casting. (flow numbers will vary on different castings) Give us a call or shoot us an e-mail for more details, we are here to help you make the best choice to meet your specific needs.

Do you have a set of RAII,RAIV,RAV,455HO, SD455 heads that you need to be prepped? Give us a call, we've done them all!

All Cast iron heads include: (Unless stated otherwise)

  • Cleaned + magnafluxed

  • Now included in all iron head packages!!! Deck, Intake and exhaust flanges!!! are Ultra Precisely CNC Machined with 12" CBN cutter head for the ultimate finish and gasket seal
