Stage V heads ? 452s ?

Stage V heads ? 452s ? - 07/15/09 04:52 PM

has been told by the guy told me there are a pair down here being sold but these ones are with the regular valve sizes, not like the new ones with bigger valves Is this true ?

I have know the only real big diff is the thickness of the walls accepting more aggresive porting job, but from cast they flow about the same than 906 heads ( so then, practically the same than 452s ).

I'm not thinking on a more than templates porting job on my 452s... so... I AM WINNING SOMETHING on these ? If I get these Stage V heads is to NOT MAKE a porting job because they would flow more than my stock 452s.

To make a porting job with TEMPLATES( no more than that ), I preffer not spend more money.

I am doing wrong ? or do I need a slap because I wouldn't get the stage V heads ?

Stage 5's were sold as legal replacements for all open chamber heads in NHRA STOCK , that's why they have stock valve sizes and flow like the junk they replace .

That's funny, lots of other guys and dumber guys have gone quicker than you with 906's, 452's, and stage v's. Can you elaborate?

There I fixed that for you

LOL...

so just the NEW Stage Vs would it be "desireable" ones with the new valve size ? ( 2.14/1.81 )

Desireability is in the eye of the beholder!

But that is correct, the only stage V sold brand new anymore is a big valve, non-ported version.
