If I had it to do all over I would use a tall deck block.It seems to make good power I just need everything to be right to get it to run like it should.I've been a 5.70 flat at 123 in the 1/8 and only a 9.03 at 150 so far but only has 3 test passes sense Steve Taylor at prc carbs got my carbs working good.Good luck with yours.Kenny



do you know what they did to get them to work..

No I don't I wish I did you would have been the first I would have told.Steve just told me they weren't even close.I now he changed all the air bleeds and he said the float weights weren't right.I only run 6# of fuel pressure now and run the floates real real low.I only have $3,900 in these carbs now but atleast they work I guess.Good luck with yours and hope to see you guy's soon.Kenny

Kenny I thought you went 9.0's with the W9 set up and not with the W8's. Whats you're fastest time with the W8's vs W9's and single four vs 2-4 set up.I should know this but as you know I can't remember S##t.

How many CC intake runner and what size valves were in you're W9's

And tell Evil Knevil no tricks on that Harley or he/ll end up walking like me.


I've been a 9.03 with the w-8's and a 9.13 with w-9's both with single four.The w-8's have 2.250 and 1.55 valves and the w-9's were 2.200 1.65 valves.I don't remember the cc intake runner.I'll tell dad to.Tell Mike to come buy my bike.Later Kenny

The average guy isn't going to pay the $$$ for a set of CFE W8's, pure and simple. I had some 13 degree CFE W8's and Sheet metal Intake for sale at well under what they cost and they're still sitting here.
A top end that makes that kind of power is going to set you back around 10K give or take.
AL....




Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't know if any dealers still had any W9's still on the shelf, but a year ago, when I had my Mopar dealership parts guy look for a set, he said there were a couple on the shelf yet at another dealership. The price was right around $1300 I think. Valves and springs?=$600? CNC porting=$1100, valve job=$150, hone valve guides=$75, Intake=$450?, Port intake=$100. Other little stuff that arises for good measure, $400? Grand total of $4,175. Not far form the Indy's my buddy just put on, and much more power potential. That's why I was kinda leaning that direction. Is my math way off? It's hard to justify another 6K for 150-200 more HP.

I ask again, why not W8's? A set of CNC ported Nascar W8's can be bought cheaper than you can do the W9's for with more power potential. Guys like Chris and Kenny that are running a n/a class can justify the cost of the CFE's but for the average bracket racer or if you're going to use a power adder the Nascar W8's will work just fine.

I wouldn't consider a W-9 until the supply of used W-8s have dried up. Cheaper with more potential.

I've just gone to the 270cc chapman alcohol W9 head from a 220cc W5. Big difference in power band. My combo was pretty much dialed for the W5s, rpm around 6800 in the 1/8th on the spray. Ive made 6 passes so far. Got to changes gears and converter for sure.went 6.80 on motor at 108.

How about some cam spec's for any of these combos.. The w9's should be plenty for most of us.
