Bryce, what did you calculate the Min/Max CSA of the X-cellerator to be? I know it's smaller than a Victor but IIRC it's bigger than a torker or Torker 2. Also has less taper than an M1 or the old Strip Dominator. What is your opinion on runner length and how it effects flow? Longer strokes tend to like shorter runners when the cross sections are relatively small for the displacement, at some point the total runeer length itself (plenum to Valve) becomes a flow restriction. That's in part why I think (theorize) that a ported Victor could be a HP advantage over a SV on a longer 4+" stroke motor is the CSA and min/max CSa's were identical. additional Runner length tends to be beneficial below peak torque, but beyond that point becomes a HP restriction.(as RPM increases the motor would like the runner to be shorter and shorter = CLOSER to the carb) It there a formula for runner taper (Plenum CSA relative to Runner outlet CSA) that works best for mopar Wedges? runner length (and more appropriately -Total Runner Volume) also comes into play here as well in terms of inertia tuning but that's too much to go into here I think. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

I placed an order for these heads the last week of november 2012. It is now the last week of january 2013. I called Dr. J's today 1/28/13 and a message comes on that says this number has been DISCONNECTED. Should l be worried. Has anyone else found the same.

Certainly not what you would call customer service. These guys want to sell parts but don't want to talk to the customer, glad I deal with big blocks. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/whistling.gif)

MisterBee, My timeline has went like this: April 4th First inquiring e-mail, got a reply from Bryce in 12 hours. April 16th e-mail, and phone call, no reply to either. April 23 phone call no answer. April 24th e-mail reply from Bryce in the AM, to e-mail I sent on 16th April 24th reached Bryce by phone in the PM, hashed out the deal, set the price, and he promised to charge my card, and send an invoice via e-mail. Said he was "3 weeks out" on the heads. May 16th reached Bryce by phone on my second attempt. He explained he was overwhelmed with demand, and explained he was still probably "2 weeks out". I explained that I hadn't been charged, or received an invoice, so I was worried that we didn't really have a deal. He promised to "take care of that this afternoon". June 6th The charge for the purchase price appeared on my credit card statement.
I have not had any correspondence with Bryce since then, I have still not received an invoice, or the heads. I have 3 cars to work on, and I have yet to assemble the short block the heads are destined for, so I haven't made any efforts to contact him in the last month, figuring my time is better spent on the stuff that is in front of me.
So, yeah, it's not just you, if that helps!
