And you know it wasn't directed at you. I am always surprised how easily people get their undies all undone on here over a "simple" discussion/exchange of technical things.
He didn't wanna discuss anything, he got frazzled and started asking what kind of bicycle I had. He didn't need a pos valve from a different engine...he is just weirding out in his shop making the same motor 50 guys before him built, tested and all came within 10 hp of eachother. This is 'let's see what this valve does'. Well let's see...its cost time and money., there ya go. You could have dropped a Chevy valve in it and been done and had better numbers in general....but its much cheaper to do it this way when you have time and a shop full of machines.
I first said about magnum heads that I was not a believer...as in after about 400 hp they gotta go, too much effort for too little return.
I get about low 290's on my best day with an LA head, no one on here that Ive heard gets that out of a factory magnum head.
IQ52 gets more out of an LA head, and magnum probably, than myself or anyone at least that I trust, but I'm pretty damn sure the LA is what he gets the best #s from..not tha. it is all about #'s...but that closed chamber is not worth more than the flow difference. Show me the way and ill follow, but you gotta show me and this guy isn't showing me **** but hughes engines fk ups and his own weirdness at this point.
