But for most engines turning below 8K with a moderate valve size. You wasting money IMO [color:"red"]65 Hemi Belvedere coming soon [/color] [color:"#00FF00"]557" Indy engine 1.07 60ft 144mph in the 8th 2100 lbs package [/color]

Maybe 7200 to 7600 peak don't know what peak will be till its dynoed. Is it worth it to do the Exhaust Valves on the B-1 MCs?

I was going to run just the intake tit and stainless exhaust and I planned on high rpm 9000 range but was less ci than yours

Are they necessary, not according to all the engine builders I've talked to. When I have a few minutes later today I'll weigh one of each for you.
