Air Flow Research LS1 Mongoose CNC-Ported 215cc Cylinder Heads with 65cc Chambers for Large-Bore 408 C.I. LS Engines.
Grab a mid-sized, high-velocity, torque monster through Air Flow Research! Their LS1 Mongoose 215cc cylinder heads (1530) deliver 312 CFM at 0.600” of lift. That makes this powerhouse excellent for moderate street and dual street-strip applications. Featuring a cathedral design, the ports boast incredible airflow consistency, making them ready to handle high RPMs. As long as you have a large-bore 408 C.I. LS engine, you’ll see the difference in no time.
