Suggestions for new design Aluminum Mopar SB clean slate (kind of) cylinder heads

Just posting this for the bigger “pinch” crowd. If you look closely at the one picture you can see where I slightly as planned kissed my brass tube. Doing this, pushing the common wall over, and raising the roof to the Edelbrock gaskets slowed the airspeed down from a pegged 401 fps flowing 260 cfm to a 375 max airspeed flowing 290 with a 2.02 valve. Same pinch will go 308-313 with a 2.055 valve, and 325-330 cfm with a 2.08 valve. There’s still material left to play with if I needed it but I don’t.

I know what you’re saying John, but there is more to it than just air speed and flow numbers.

The pinch is bad. You won’t find any decent head with that pinch there.

There is a reason TF only used a 2.02 valve.
