Here's one job that we're getting pretty close to finishing. These were so 1990-2000, when we had no clue about how much CSA mattered. These will be 60+ horsepower better than they were. Volume CSA is the master.
NHRA Super Stock 295/350.
Here's our process for reworking/updating
Disassemble, clean, pressure test and crack check ✅
1. Preliminary flow✅
2. Preliminary physical map and check runner CC ✅
3. Design Prototype port shape/sizing ✅
4. Physically create Prototype port ✅
5. Flow test prototype port and check runner CC ✅
6. Epoxy all ports per design ✅
7. Rough machine final ports to size and hand blend ✅

Currently
8. Hand porting and blend ports to Finalized physical map

People often wonder why Super Stock is so expensive. It explains it here.
Sure sounds easy.

Thanks for listening

Epoxy Facts.... this is really Important!!!
ALWAYS, ALWAYS use anchor screws!!! If you don't, eventually the epoxy will break off, bend valves and stuff.
Always use a Minimum of 2 anchor screws!!! Further apart is best, but not more than about 1.5".
Thanks for watching

NHRA Super Stock 275/327 heads getting pretty close.
I'm updating the design. Someone else did them previously and really doesn't understand that "Throat/Port sizing" formula.
Like most of the heads that we do, we rough them in with the vertical mill. You've seen me with them tilted in the mill.
The mapped size and shape is now correct. I need to make some changes in some areas to get the volume legal . And put the Baaadass RET Racing Engine Technologies valve job on them. 💪💪💪
These were on the dyno before they came here. So we'll know exactly the gains that we made. Definitely going to move him waaaaaay up the qualifying sheet.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks

Hi everyone.
I must apologize for my lack of posts lately. We've been buried in work (no sleep) and We've been on vacation and working on the ChevyII. Waiting on the camshaft and pistons. More ChevyII stuff to come in a few months.
Here are a couple items for the ChevyII that I've gotten finished.
I promise I'll be posting more cylinder head stuff very soon.
Thanks for watching
Take care
