      @@blaqlabspodcast5816 For those that don't know early pro stocks used stock parts. Cleveland heads the ports faced down because ford used shock towers. Bob literally milled the tops of the exhaust ports off and made fabbed metal plates to fit over the port to raise the exhaust port. It's really cool if you can ever find the articles in hotrod and other mags explaining what he did and why.

      @headgames That's awesome, the Fox is such a good chassis. The shop was MoFoCo in Milwaukee they did odd import/VW stuff. I had a 351W in my fox so I would be buying weird Ford truck stuff to make things work, etc. Mitsubishi as a daily, that's smart. My father tells me that he thinks Mitsubishi is the Japanese Ford. He's a Porsche tech so to my young self it was the final word lol 😆. In the end the Fox was a ripper, the Eclipse led to a decent Talon Tsi. But, it always seems you wrench much more than race. Labor of love, thanks for the great videos. Merry Christmas 🎁

    When it comes to the exhaust the gases are still expanding. The reason not to gasket match is that the step prevents reversion. You absolutely cannot think about the exhaust in the same manner as the intake.

    I know you say that there’s no airflow to be gained from touching/enlarging port openings, however I’ve seen some road race engine builders raise the roof of the opening of both intake and exhaust which continues all the way into the port roof on Nissan VK56 built by Kelly Racing for V8 Supercar making 640hp at 7500 redline Destroked to 5.0 liter per the rules. Also see Hartley racing engines with a 4.0 Destroked version of the same engine making over 500hp at 10,000 rpm for their version of dirt track racing carbureted. Both engines run a 10:1 compression ratio per their series rules. Specifically on the VK56 if you check out the SAE white paper it shows how Nissan lowered both intake and exhaust ports to create more low end torque for truck use versus the VK45 that was designed for higher rev range power. Hartley also done extensive intake and exhaust port flange mods on their Toyota 1GZ V12 engines to have them make insane figures naturally aspirated, 250-400 hp over stock Toyota figures. Maybe on a turbo engine it’s not warranted but naturally aspirated inlet mods***not gasket matching 😅😅*** may produce gains.

      Raising the port to get a better approach angle is pretty common.
      Check out this ford 300 6 cylinder that was built for drag racing back in the day. It has a cylinder head made from 3 sections boss heads epoxied together, and it has raised ports.

      I can't really speak about NA or the VK but we have made 2500whp on the VQ without taking anything out to a gasket. Many people do it, but it is all theory. When you buy, you are always buying the theory of whomever is doing it. I have never seen it work, and have always seen it lose torque so I would never do it.

      @ one of these days a set of VK heads are gonna show up to your shop for a valve job and flow test with both intake and exhaust flanges slightly enlarged at the top to decrease the port angle***not out to a gasket/gasket match***. Going to put one in a 240sx when I get the other 2 cars ahead of it done. (I hate LS swaps, it’s the lazy way to do things). The engines are cheap enough at the moment to buy more than one so I’ll have an untouched head for comparison. Can hardly wait.

      Numbers are literally everything in this industry, that's goofy. Almost all top-tier race head porters post a photo of the bench numbers right after flowing, I do not understand hiding that at all. Half the guys tell you localized velocity numbers if you ask. I don't buy heads without flow numbers, what are you hiding? Merry christmas

    • @headgames
      @headgames  День назад +2

      @@johnbean2596 I have never seen numbers for many of the heads we do from anyone. Sure, some share but it is usually a peak flow number at some absurd lift that nobody is going to use anyway. And, there is ways to manipulate the flow test or even just share fictitious flow numbers! I have also never seen a single shop offer velocity maps for their ports, nor do I see the general public knowing how to read that. If we started racing flow benches I would be concerned with flow numbers and making port big enough to win those flow bench races but until then those will be in-house data points. If that turns some people off, I am okay with that. I am not adding to the confusion for our customers to decipher and figure out what they need. That is why they are coming to us in the first place. We have set world records in every genre we have entered (except LS), and continue to be regarded in the industry as one of the best without giving something out that really don't mean much to the customer.

I understand flow bench manipulation well, that's why people mention the fixture size, lengths, pipes or not, etc etc. You have videos on it!! That's why there's "industry standards" so to speak.
