Sounds like a test of 3 heads roughly the same size. Dont know what the irons are but still its neat to see something old school thrown in for comparison.
Stark did a great job on those, thats pretty decent.
Jsup AFR doesnt make any as cast, thats the way they come period, out of the box. No "porting"...thats the point.
How much are you goig to spend working over the Darts to get them to the same level and by that time how much bigger is the intake port going to be?

Ok Ron, I'll play your game. Why is "out of box" so important other than just being a marketing slogan? Another example of arguing from an AFR bias.

Who cares. If I'm building a motor and I'm doing it for all out performance, I'll get the things ported. If I'm trying to do it cheap, I'll take out of box. A factory light port on my heads was $200. I paid $1400 WITH the factory clean up port and another $300 to have my MiniRam ported and gasket matched and some touch up on the heads.

WTF is the point? BFD. What's with the out of box orgasm?
