Ron, I need to check with the dyno shop today to see what his schedule is. We'll need a couple days on the dyno to do what we want to test.
And, I have an LS block I need bored/honed while I'm there, and a valve job on some LS heads.
Plus the valve job on Tommy Boy's heads, so it's when he can get us in.

Plus I need to check on our accommodations at Casa De Chad's. LOL :)

Ron,..what results do you expect from the 45*-50* valve job and the 20* cam duration change?

Well,... I guess I can leave my cape at home,...cause we're spending 2 days on the dyno for this round of testing.
Just making a lot of pulls isn't as useful as ones that provide info.
May try to get there the night before and see if we can get started putting it on the dyno.
Should be an interesting dyno session.

Alrighty! You haven't posted any details about the heads? Velocity profile good? Are they just a stock set of 034 bowties?

They can be made a pretty good head IMO.

Heads have been ported by some one else. They are just as we got them other than me touching up the 45* seat.
No velocity profile. Didn't probe them, just flowed one for future reference.

No port energy calcs either. :lol: Figure the dyno will tell us about the port energy. LOL

All fun aside, I would be glad to punch in the numbers in my DV flowbench program for you. Just get me the flows at the lifts on the first sheet of the program I post and the measurements. Thanks, Charlie
