906 Head shop

Oh how I agree with the comment above!

This is by no means the best overall 906 head we have ever produce, but it is the only one that I have with a record on the same flowbench, same head, same port, with a progression from stock valve through larger valves, stock untouched port through ported. These are all flows are at .500" lift. The first two are benchmarks so that we have something to compare the other flows to.

275 cfm..........Box stock Edelbrock Performer RPM 440 2.14 intake
224 cfm..........Stock unported 906 with the stock 2.08 valve
280 cfm..........Ported 906 with the 2.08 factory intake valve, same port as above, the #1 or #8, 280/224=25% increase from stock.
299 cfm..........Ported 906 with 2.14 intake valve, same port as above, 299/224=33% increase from stock.
302 cfm..........Ported 906 with 2.20 intake valve, same port as above, 302/224=35% increase from stock.

This is the most recent set of 906 heads (2.25 intake) we flowed: 91 cfm @ .100, 165 cfm @ .200", 219 cfm @ .300", 277 cfm @ .400", 299 cfm @ .500", 325 cfm @ .600", 335 cfm @ .700" and 339 cfm @ .800".

On 7/23/2011, those heads made 694 HP @ 6,900 rpm from a 451ci B-engine with 9.7:1 compression and a single 1050 cfm 4150 4bbl, 91 octane, all motor....no bottle, no boost.

On 9/21/11 we tried these same heads on a 500ci motor and ended up with a train wreck.

On Comp Cams dyno, somehow, the water never got turned into the engine. At about three minutes into the ring break-in, she made some really strange noises. The exhaust valves stuck to the bronze guides and the guides were moving up and down with the valves, 15 of 16 valves were out of round, one bent pushrod and ruined adjuster.

Pulled the heads, knocked out the valves and guides, knurled the guides and punched them back in. Reamed the guides and reinstalled the valves. Replaced the pushrod and adjuster. Without retouching the heads or valves seats and with leakdown percentages past the rings, intake and exhaust valves, at 7%, 10%, 10%, 10%, 23%, 30%, 32%, 56%, it made 730 HP on 93 Octane.
