RHS heads , are they good cylinder heads?

hitorx · May 7th, 2007, 06:44 PM

Is anyone know about RHS cylinder heads? Seems to be good product for the bucks. I just want to be sure that they are not PROCOMP cylinders heads sold for cheap price on Ebay's website. Lot of people are telling PROCOMP are not so bad but need modifications before bolt on. Lot of bugs have been reported.

Yeah put them on a motor and check back after 15 or 20 thousand hard miles...

RHS is Racing Head Service which I believe Comp Cams now owns. They make a decent head but they are toward the bottom of the barrel. You get what you pay for.

neverfastenough · May 8th, 2007, 10:29 AM

Yes they are owned by Comp Performance Group, Comp Cams, and I agree you get what you pay for. But, not everyone can afford to buy names, and I bet as long as you're not putting a gazillion hp in it like that black car right above me, it will be ok. If not, I never said anything, ok.

Any head will be ok. Stock heads are ok. You get what you pay for.

I don't undestand. I've compared flow rate of RHS 200CC, 58CC aluminium head and they are better(mid flow) than 210CC Victor Jr head.
AFR(185CC) are great but 1900$$US, RHS about 1300-1400$US. I will pass them on flow bench anyway.

Stangzilla · May 8th, 2007, 11:32 PM

$1900 for AFR 185's?!!! Where are you buyin them from. I paid about 1400 for mine..

Whose flow bench did these numbers come from and were all of the heads run on the same bench? If not, its not a valid comparison.

hitorx · May 9th, 2007, 04:06 PM

Flow are on RHS web site and Edelbrock web site. RHS SBF 200CC have superior mid flow than SBF Edelbrock Victor Jr cylinder heads.

Stangzilla · May 9th, 2007, 11:23 PM

Well if thats the case then good. Flow will not be a prob. the only way I would trust those heads is to get a fully bare set and put top notch guides, valves, retainers, springs, ect.. and have a good machine shop set them up. I would not trust the parts they use that is prob where failure will occur.. Like I said check back when a car with those heads has 15-20,000 miles and see how they are holding up. by the time you do all that to a set of bare heads you will have enough invested to just get a set of AFR's, TrickFlow or something.. Me I would just save for a set of proven heads.. But if you are on a tight budget and cant wait then go for it but dont be suprised if it dont work out... Good Luck..

Comparing numbers from manufacturers is a crap shoot. Every company has the best flowing head, just ask them. You need to get numbers from a third party if you are going to do a comparison. What bore size did they use? Did they use a pipe on the exhaust? If so, what size?

Id be happy to pull one of my Vic Jr's and go head to head with you on that wager

hitorx · May 10th, 2007, 07:42 PM

Yeah, maybe , I know Victor Jr are really good cylinders heads. I just want to know if a good company like Compcams can compare their cylinder heads to other good brand. Anyway tuning si so fun, no one have the same thinking about product. My friend is telling Dart pro 1 are shit, my other friend is telling Victor Jr is shit, lol, so pathetic. I'm buying RHS cylinder heads to say the same thing I guess lol ....

I got your back bro.. go with the cheapies.. Everybody on this site is only partial to what they have on thir car, There is no secret voodoo to moving air through aluminum. try em and let us know

hitorx · May 10th, 2007, 08:07 PM

Don't understand CHEAP, they are about same range price than other brand, 1200-1400 range.

Actually yes there is a science to airflow. Moving air thru aluminum (or any other material for that matter) isn't just a matter of cutting a hole and sticking some valves in it. That is exactly how back yard head porters destroy airflow on cylinder heads.

As far as being partial, I do have Trick Flow heads on my car and recommend any head that Trick Flow makes to anyone with a street car because I've used damn near every head they produce and they all make good power. But I'm not partial to them. I've used many different brands of heads so I have many different comparisons from experience to base my opinions on. One easy approach to this is to ask around for people running these heads and how they like them. I bet he has asked and hasn't found many if any people. When all else fails, stick with the tried and true parts.

No kidding $1900 , you need to call AFR!

I prefer afr or trickflows. Im just not an edelbrock head kind of guy. I like their intakes on carbed cars thats about all the edelbrock I do.

hitorx · May 11th, 2007, 12:57 AM

I'm giving a try to RHS heads and will tell you results about 1 month. Heads gonna be filled with Ferrea valves, not junk parts to get poor result.
