For the W5 lovers

If someone puts in the effort of a new W5 head, well, first I’m not sure it’s a smart move. Reason being is that the chink knock off head, if properly prepped like in what @pittsburghracer race does in tubing the pushrod hole or just simply a moved pushrod hole can or should be able to be ported out to the W5 level.

I hate to give the chink companies my money for the ripped off knock off head. But John has shown some good numbers.

So if we get a chink knock off head modified with a moved pushrod hole????? IDK?


What’s an honest set of numbers from W5 heads. I’m knocking on 330 (228) with a standard location pushrod. My old set I’m running now and ported in 2008 flowed 318 and only because my ported Super Victor slowed the air down enough to stabilize the port. I’ve since learned how to do this without the help of an intake. Not sure where these heads will end up but for sure in the 330’s. Trouble is I can only put so much work into a set of customers heads for what I charge. When I get Vic’s 2.08 valves I’m hopeful I can offer heads in the 318-322 area.
