Quote: Well the big deal with a Titanium valve is the weight..Do you have any idea what a Stainless 2.40 valve for a B1 would weigh. Let's just say it would not be very valvetrain friendly.
Even the 2.300 is heavy in stainless! That's why we'll run good springs coupled with a rpm style lobe to keep everything happy. Plus we're running a single carb, so 7000rpm will be a great cap to hit, and hopefully we'll have 4-500 rpm after that of slow decent. I wanted to do an MC head, but cost and the fact that Mark wants reliability over max HP meant using the Original B1. Bryan Sloan wanted to use the MC head too but I have a feeling this combo will work just fine. It's going in a really well prepared chassis.
I hope I was helpfull in my attempt to show how these heads are pretty easy to use and prepare. Even with small amounts of porting they work really well. Brian
