1.94" for the exhaust valves seems unlikely. 1.6" or so, I'd venture.

What a stellar new product that should fly off the shelves. Double-humps and all! I would have gotten these for sure when my engine was redone a few years ago, had they been available.

If you don't have aluminum heads already, that 40lbs off the nose will make your car a little more spritely. Gorgeous car btw.

Just for grins have any tests been done on say a bone stock L79 with cast 461 or 462 heads upgraded to your new trick flow design? I am curious what would happen to the Horsepower and Torque map.
Thanks
Thanks

One note - being aluminum, IIRC, the thumb rule is that aluminum heads allow another .5 compression ratio over iron heads due to greater thermal conductivity.
