Hey Phil,
With the 4.4" bore spacing, are you concerned about the lack of material between cylinders? That would put you right at .24 right?
Are you gonna weld up the heads like W2W did in order to get 6 bolts per cyl? Or are you just gonna stay with the 4 for now??
See ya bud..
Reason: My 4.155/4.185 is in the works. But I'm not running as much boost as you are.

You want the baddest setup.....make sure you go with the ETP canted valve heads....increadable flow numbers..

Thanks man, I'll check but I don't think so because they are soo shallow. My plans are to use the ETP LS7 4.100 bore heads and a solid roller. I'd love to use the C/V stuff.

Hey man, how is the new motor coming? From what I have heard @ 4.250 you have .150 between the bores. If that is true my setup should come in somewhere around .330 between the bores which I've been told is more than enough.

Its coming along really well. I'm gettin ready to stuff that biatch in the hole.. I'm just waiting on the clutch. Hopefully next week some time.
I'm just kinda screwed on the tune. I need a break in tune, but there is NO ONE in Vegas that can throw in a temporary one for me. The old one wont work. Not only was it a SD tune, but I COMPLETELY changed the characteristics of the motor..
Have you decided if your gonna run 6 bolts per cyl, or 4??

Oooooooohhh, Those heads are gonna be automotive ****....I looked into them, but the cost was waaaayyyy out of my league.
You've gotta shoot me a picture when you get your hands on them.
So your expecting to make in the mid-1000'srwhp. What are your thoughts 1250-1300??
BTW, I sent you a PM. I have an HP tuners tune. (If thats what you meant.)
I am sooo jealous..
