I`ve been re-working my heads again because of a bet I have that someone says there`s NO WAY I can go 9.78 by rebuilding my heap so other than the tech archive photos, does any one have any otther photos I can check out or another post I can view? After intake work I ended up w/a 220cc port and my ex. went to 76cc`s which seem WAY short of the 228-81cc`s I thaught I read. Just looking for every last hp that can be gained till I get my Victors. Thankxxx guys........

Maybe open them up to MW and run a Indy intake

I thaught about that but I`d like to save that energy and work for the Victors plus I need to keep it as is to make a statement and some $$$$.........

Are you doing any before & after flow bench comparisons, or are you just on 'em until you think they "look right"?

FYI, I kind of bummed out somebody else on here when I tested their home-ported RPM heads and they didn't see nearly what they'd thought they would for all the work that had been done.

Dom, I agree with Brad.

If you dont have a flow bench, and know HOW to interpret the numbers, you could be doing more damage than good. Ebrocks have a pretty good port and chamber as is, BUT, they do respond totally different, or let me put it this way, they have TOTALLY different needs from the intake ports to the exhaust ports. There are several things that they really respond well to, and other modifications that you will just go backwards or at least simply waste your time.

What I am saying is they have spoecific areas where porting and valve jobs do a great deal, as well as some other changes. If you dont know where to look for that, then I'd say stay away from them, or have an experienced porter ( somoen who knows Ebrocks) mess with them. ( not even consdiering the camshaft likes and dislikes) .\
This is exactly while you'll see some real turd Ebrock combos, and some exceptional ones, that overachieve. It comes down to the porters knowledge, and the cam combo. I have quite a few Ebrock combos out there and have found this to be true.

My experience and

I have a 1 barrel and a pile of nitrous if it will help....

Maybe you can let him borrow your 3/4 race cam and that extra set of pop ups ?...and throw some " fifties" on the back end with some Purple Hornies?...

I hear what you guys are saying and I`m definately not "hacking" away at these things but more less going by the tech archive info and straightened out the head bolt buldge for a smooth transition into the bowl. I`m not asking these questions to see who I can send em to cos that`s not in the bet or Brian would have em now.........just trying to maximize my power and 9.98 ain`t too shabby considering the other issues I had. I WILL go 9.78 if it kills me...........

What's the skinny dom? Someone bet you can't get the 78 or what ??? You one of the best working combos on here for what it is IMO ... That's gonna be tough to pull that out! I'd say the best/easiest way to do it for the cash is tow your car to one them low elevation tracks across country somewhere

I know it`s going to be tough but so am I and I love a challenge. The best track is probably Bakersfield where I went 9.98 so that may be where we end up. Time will tell..........

Can you lighten your car up some? 2 tenths is a lot at your level. Probably another 60 horsepower.

Doesnt sound too hard to do. tell me your combination and I bet I can get some out of it.
on your video it seems like you short shifted it. I like RPMs and a well tuned system.
I bet I have more gear, more compression, more lift.

thumper ,, a close friend had stock eddies rpm, 452, mp intake, 13-1 comp, 8" t/a 5000 stall , dana 430 geared,31 tall tire, dominator ,on alcohol,3250 # 73 duster, all steel car!
racer brown stx 21 car ran high 9.70 low 9.80 on the back bumper!
so it can be done without going to big heads and roller stuff
and spend alot less money

there is not enough gain in rpms heads to justify any porting to them
the one example i gave is just one there are couple others who run rpm stock, and been low 9 with them with no work at all , so they will run as stock,

Thankxxxx............my motor`s a 400/470 stroker w/a solid .680-.660 solid roller @ 12.1 comp. I did short shift but also had fuel delivery and charging issues so who knows. I know guys are running mid/high 9`s w/em and I hope to be one of those guys soon. The porting can`t hurt anything and I`d bet it will help considering I left a lot on the table the first time around.

About 40 hp needed, more comp would help that cam, lose some weight.
I think you're car runs well, i would like to be where you are.
Prosports car was max wedge port, tunnel ram and a bit lighter than yours and his has gone 9.77.
Mick

A good tunnel ram??? Seems that could gain a few tenths possibly.
