Chinese casting heads? Asking because I have seen this happen with various brands and makes of engines.
Yeah I've seen that several times including BB Chevy engines. The really cheap no name Chinese stuff works okay for a cruiser but won't make power at WOT. But that shouldn't be the case with this engine since the customer bought really nice parts including a Dart block and AFR 335 cnc heads. It isn't a high compression engine since it is heading into a street car, but my 470 Mopar with TF270 heads made more power on pump gas than this 540 is making. AFR 335 BB Chevy heads should flow a ton more air than Trick Flow Mopar 270 heads and 540 is 70 inches bigger than my 470 so something isn't clicking.
We'll get some runs on it this week with a 1050 Dominator and a MSD billet distributor and see what happens.
