Great info, I am running the Chevy sb splayed valve heads and would be curious what your thoughts are on them when it comes to power adder.. right now I’m nitrous which is not ideal for these but not sure if boost would be better or not.
Splayed valve heads are the best, just make sure your combustion chamber is softened when running nitrous or boost. Boost is better than nitrous for the type of racing we do.
Good info! I'm a small block Ford 8.2 deck 331ci with a Vortech YSI-B & Airflow research 205's heads Running 5.00s in the 1/8th and 7.90s 1/4. I see you are running a Vortech V27 gear drive. If you don't mind what V27 are you running? Thanks.
@wesleysnow46 Awesome V30 105a how do you like the blower? Does the blower seem reliable? I'm asking for a friend of mine who has the same blower as you. I sent him your video to watch he wanted me to ask you. What times are you running if you can disclose them? Thanks!
Run the best factory iron you can find. Stroke it to its max. Make as much power below 5500 rpm. Shoot for 10:1 compression and enjoy the spoils of the work for as many years as you can.
If we ran street cars that we wanted to drive forever I would agree but for what we do I don’t ever have my engine below 5,500 rpm and the weight of the iron heads would be a killer.
@@approachingtarget.4503 and what exactly does your comment have to do with this great video??? Your opinion of engine combination isn't necessary here.
Any one can do this to find out where the air is flowing into the chamber. Just take your shop vac. and put a suction on the intake valve at any valve lift. run a piece of string into the port and watch where the string enters the chamber.
It’s really a lot more complicated than that. A shop vac will not even come close to pulling enough air thru a good port to strain it enough to show its weakness. The string will just take the straightest shot. When a port is highly strained to flow as much as possible is when the weakness will show. That’s why we use flow benches, 28” can be pulled and still flow 600 cfm.
@@Snow-Racing I started flow testing heads in 1970 when the SF100 came out .And then I bought a SF600, serial #11. I also did lectures to Automotive engineering students and I would always challenge any student to put that string in the port on any head, they always flow around the short turn radius. So air does find the path of least resistance.
@@racerd9669I’m really intrigued that you have a lot of experience as well and this works for you. Will have to try it sometime. I may have understand estimated you by your first comment. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I enjoy listening to someone who knows what they are talking about.good job man.

@Snow-Racing you bet bud. Started with the engine teardown, and I'll be watching more. Subscribed.
Great info man. Always nice to learn new things.
New favorite video
I really appreciate your support and comment. I hope you like the next one just as much.

How are the afr 245 heads for boost
Very good, highly recommended!

SN Ford has a six bolt per cylinder head option. 🤔 Thanks for the video.

Very cool! I run the V30 gearbox and 105 impeller. Very impressive ET numbers you run with that combo!

I don't have Facebook but I will have my buddy message you.
Wes my buddy said he messaged you earlier and for you to check your message request.
Thanks again!
