Thanks, It's coming along nicely but now I am in need of some .070" thick head gaskets. The flat land of the piston is .028" above deck.

Any one know of some Cometic C5447-070 available? Or I am into machining the pistons a touch. J.Rob

Normally I would agree but this was different. I put the air hat on to see if CFM fell off at higher RPM's it didn't. I have also never seen valvesprings go away and then come back 500rpm later and hold on a further 1000rpm. J.Rob



Harmonic spring distortion at that particular RPM? (probably not the exact technical term I'm grasping for)

Thanks for posting...everyone knows you're a capable builder and your cust is in good hands. So even though there is low-hanging fruit he'll be happy I'd guess.

Not sure who would have the gaskets. When I ordered cometics for mine it took a month to get them.

How do you stop the picture from rotating 90 when you post? I've resized, rotated, saved, renamed etc.... It looks fine until I post it..What gives? J.Rob

More times than I can count, when a Hemi engine won't rev, its been the springs. I think all the street miles on mine is the issue. Looking to put a spray bar in the valve cover for the intake springs. I like the carb setup, what size are those?

Did you happen to flow the heads before and after the filler work?

Yes, and I would be interested to know before/after port volume as well.

Ran into dyno issues, engine is healthy. They are 600cfm, flow 720 dry @ 20.4

Didn't flow the heads but they are no anomaly, probably 350-360 cfm. I added almost 10cc of filler.

I see you're running the marine intake. Are you planning on trying the stage V also? Interested to see the difference since I'm running a stage V currently and have a new marine sitting in a box.

Also a picture of bottom of stage V.

Thanks Mike

As for the pic orientation...... what seems to work for me, when uploading from my phone.....

Have the pic stored in the phone so it’s oriented correctly when holding the phone vertically.
And hold the phone vertically while you’re browsing the pics to upload them.

Sometimes I’ve had to rotate and save the pics, again........ even when they were correct originally.

Let’s try it with one of yours......

No plans to try the Stage V intake although that looks like a real nice intake-thanks for the pics. This gentleman just wants a real nice Hemi that looks good, starts/idles and can drive 100 or more kms on pumpgas--I'm sure he won't mind having enough power to boil the hides when the urge strikes. Thanks again, J.Rob
