Pittsburgh,

These W2's are for a Different motor entirely.

The Airwolfs are still on the 414, it's getting quicker (as noted above) but still sorting the launch. Last time out I installed a fuel pressure gauge and it was dropping in high gear so I've found a delivery problem I suspected (but wasn't sure) I had. The 97.76 in the 1/8th pass (with a 1.81 60' ) it still went 11.39 but I clicked it at 1100'...so I think it's got the wheaties up in there.

Good I was hoping you weren't done playing with them. After I finish up my Edelbrocks and some ford heads I want to order a procomp head and do some testing.

I tell you If I honestly had a reason to pull them I'd send you them to flow, buddy!

Now I've been around mopars for well over 30 years and when I got them I was skeptical too, but pulling out the valves and inspecting them i can;t find fault with the quality of work or the materials they're made from. On par with the edelbrocks and Bryces' work looked pretty darn good to my 'semi-ejamacated' eyes. Once you have them in your hands (The Airwolfs) you'll have an "A-Ha....Clever!" moment that you'll feel and notice, even though it might not do ANYTHING better on a 'one-way' flow bench (there's a clue there, btw).

I won't buy an airwolf as to much money is involved but I will by the core (procomp) and go from there. The water in the floor on an Edelbrock head is definitely an issue when you step up to a 2.08 valve and try for 315 plus cfm. With that issue a 2.05 valve is probably the best option. I don't volume check ports very often but When I finish these heads they will be getting cc checked and then I will make port molds and templates so I don't have to sonic check so often.

I have the actual Engine Masters magazine Dyno set of Airwolfs for $2k (freshened up), but I agree the price for the new sets are high (as almost everything is these dayz) ...but I will say Bryce does use very high grade materials for the $$$.

getting back to the W-2's, even the raw castings next to an OEM head reminds you of what a real "game changer" these pups were. I remember helping pull 3 440's out of B and E bodies to swap in W2 small blocks in 1980 and 81, that's the equivalent today of pulling out your 3.5 V6 for a turbo 2.0 four banger

Bryce has mentioned in more than one article I've read on his stuff that he uses a valve job config designed for anti-reversion, if that's what you're hinting about.

Brad,

The VJ is nice and I have no doubt contributes but no.....it is anti-reversion...but it's in the port.

I spoke to Bryce about it and that I've seen the trick before and I promised him I won't reveal it. But if you see the heads up close it's obvious

W 2 econo's on a 405 " iron block. 9.55 @ 145 with a glide and 2800# car in 04. Block was wore out with 350 passes and no room to even hone it. I was actually trying to see if it would run fast or expire. Won me lots of money,just had to retire the setup. Still have a 395 in stock/hardblock and these old heads as a backup. Wish they still made them. Much cheaper than what I win less money with now.

Closing a deal with my buddy Todd ( Compwegde) for the Pro Dommy Tunnel ram.

Thinking the TR will even fit (believe it or not) under the Rocky hood. Massive torque, drop down to a 3.55 gear (to calm the launch issue) and shift around 6400. I can change motors in the Rocky in a little over an hour
