LSX 230cc CNC Alum Heads Mongoose Strip 72cc

The LSX 230cc CNC Aluminum Heads Mongoose Strip 72cc represents the pinnacle of precision cylinder head engineering for serious LS engine builders and street/track enthusiasts. Manufactured by Air Flow Research, these CNC-ported heads are engineered to maximize airflow, fuel atomization, and combustion efficiency across the entire RPM band. Whether you're building a high-horsepower street engine, prepping a track-focused platform, or developing a forced-induction application, these heads deliver the flow characteristics and structural integrity demanded by modern LSX power adders and naturally aspirated builds alike.

These cylinder heads feature 230cc intake runner volumes optimized for maximum velocity and scavenging efficiency, paired with a 72cc combustion chamber designed to achieve favorable compression ratios without sacrificing quench characteristics. The Mongoose Strip designation indicates AFR's competition-grade porting profile, refined through dyno testing and real-world engine simulation. CNC machining ensures repeatable port geometry, valve seat concentricity, and precise flow path optimization that hand-porting cannot consistently replicate.

The aluminum construction reduces overall engine weight while maintaining exceptional durability and thermal stability under sustained high-boost or high-RPM operation. These heads accept standard LS valve train components, making installation straightforward for experienced builders working with OEM or aftermarket blocks. Ideal for those looking to enhance performance, these heads are compatible with various LS engine families, ensuring versatility in high-performance applications.
