Missed on this combo?
Years ago I used to buy three magazines every month religiously--then I got a dyno--then I stopped buying magazines. Coincidence?
Back in the 90's I was smart enough to print and keep some of the claimed flow charts from porting stock iron heads from Hughes. The big block heads were note worthy and hilarious. I haven't looked at them in years but I remember BIG flow numbers like 330 or 340+. I didn't know **** from shinola (to be fair I still don't know what shinola is) and ate it up--just like I did with the BigMouth's.
I am the very example of that poor guy in the quote. I build engines for a living ! It hurts when you scrimp and save and plunk out $3500+ on some super duper heads only to find out your 9 year old daughter could probably port better on a stock set of Eddy's--for free.
Mike I told you WAY WAY back that your heads are the issue. J.Rob
You and and half the posters in this thread said that. The low and mid lift flow is poor and the peak is so under advertised someone should be sued.
I read all the stuff being posted, not by Ramm, of which only half is remotely relative to his issue
Like the talk of 360 iron and trying to relate it...somtimes a persons experience is telling of their skill level or patience, either at that time...or in general, but should in no way be held as law or another's assumed destined result.
Gord/cudfever, imo you need to first find a good factory casting thats up to par on the ssr/floor heights before expecting over 260 cfm. Also..the the chamber CAN be changed/modified/manipulated and help, not hurt, the airflow. You saw my work...wether you knew it or not, and your words were "the short turn looks untouched"... What does that tell you besides pictures don't show enough?
Ever work the port floor before the ss's peak? Have you ever tried raising the entire roof to max height? Do you overwork the ssr on the push rod side?
None of that will help mike and actually might put more doubt, reluctance, uncertainty into the game...though I do find it more interesting than this build.
BLooMer heads, how much lift till you hit 300 cfm?? Well, you could say "the sky is the limit" couldn't you....
In a nutshell...I'm just as disappointed as mike is. My Sig derived from this thread and years of this, really. They always short us mopar guys, but that just means we have to be smarter than the next guy...
