Radar is still doing cylinder heads but he is getting up there in years and has slowed down a bit. The guy does a heckuva job and I am proud to have a set done by him! beer




And this too is a big part of the puzzle. PORTED INTAKE MANIFOLDS. I ported a set of Chevy Dart Platinum's for a Friend that started out flowing 260 then backed up from high air-speed. When I finished porting them they were flowing 315-320 so we bolted his stock Victor Jr on them and they were now flowing 260 cfm. He was flabbergasted and said we didn't gain anything but I then said to him, what do you think they were flowing with the intake bolted on before the porting work. I charged him another 200 dollars as he NOW wanted the intake ported to match the heads but not before he spent another 400 dollars to buy a Dart intake and it was just as bad as the Victor Jr. 6 months later he dragged over the Dart intake to have ported. LOL
