The heads for the new motor are all done and just got a text from my head guy with flow numbers .. Looking to make 900 NA and spray it with 2 foggers .
I had goodluck with the prosystem SV1 carb last year ... Patrick gave me a hand few times tunning at the local track . So i will be using carb setup for now atleast , what i really wanna do is run EFI with a DRY fogger setup and just have the injectros add the fuel . The heads have a bit more in them , but wanted Peak to be around 7800-8000 rpms so didnt go to crazy with the CSA . There is more to this head than flow numbers , the air speed is perfect .
Perfect for that trip to Wallgreens or the grocery store!!
Nice man! What size did the intake runners pour out to?
I wanna hear this thing when its running!
LOL ..
They are right at 290cc with 2.99 MCSA .. The Port is rasied another .500 over most 18-15 degree heads . The hard part will be getting the cast intake to match the heads .
Yes this will be a Grudge Race car .. Heads are Protopline 14* heads , they are no longer made , they were CNCed by them then had the them reworked .
Those Protopline heads must be a hell of a good casting ! (I think Australian head, but not positive) Everytime I've seen them being used in the past, they made big power. I think Bischoff used them on an Engine Masters winner a few years ago too.
Yeah the heads were made in new zealand ... Bischoff use to have a CNC program for that head and made great power , Larry meaux made close to a 1000hp with that same head in a 406 ci . Head work is getting done by a guy named Eric weingartner in Ok .. Will post pics once i get them back .
Eric has been super cool , By far the best experience i have had with a head porter . He updates me with every bit of new result he gets and really made me feel more involved than ever before . he's prob one of the few that still port heads because they enjoy it .
Be sure you use some kind of nano or nitrogen assisted pusher.
Elsewise you will be frustrated making more power on a full bottle then a half bottle. Even if you used a bottle warmer to spray at the same psi in each case.
This was why I ditched nitrous in favor of forced induction.
However, now these nitrogen assisted nitrous units are supposed to eliminate that issue.
Id like to one day reinstall the nitrous (juice+boost) - for off the line punch since my blower is a centrifugal.

I know Eric.... he's been doing this stuff for a long time. He'd be on my short list on who I would send my cylinder heads too.
I am going to guess that your cylinder head results will pop-up on Speedtalk or YB before long
Good luck on the results.... looks like a fun build.
Since it's a NO2 motor did he soften the chambers?
Thanks guys ..
Yes will be doing that here in MI .. My buddy helping me with the motor is one of the top nitrous guys her in MI , he wants to see the chamber design before he makes the call . Once we get moving on this , i'll start a build thread .

This stuff will be a whole new learning experience in tuning ... I would have to start from scratch . I have a nitrous mother bottle with me at the track and we top off the bottles when they get half way ..
