I thought of Mike yesterday. He would have been happy see me exceed my expectations, but he would've wanted to know why I didn't make more pulls to find the next 15 or 20 ... He was the epitome of a "go getter".
At 1150hp I wonder if the extra 15 would really make any difference as compared to abuse to the motor on the dyno. Glad to hear your results were better than you hoped, know it's been a long road with some questions along the way. Can't wait to see the car run once you get it all sorted out. Glad you stuck with it and didn't just go the other way, those are serious power number for any make of motor, especially on a single 4
Congratulations ! Bad ass ! my Chevy non believers friends will be jealous & wont believe it ! What kind of numbers did Marcella get out or the heads ?
great jog! who would have thought this would be done years after mike showed up atthe holodome with the proto alum heads!
Thanks for the kind words everyone. Isn't/wasn't there a phone app to upload pictures? Nick, The "model" port that JM did was around 400 from .700 to .900 lift. Mine have not been on a bench, they merely received the CNC treatment from Scott Brown.
Dave, I'm hoping to get it closer to 3150 after some updates that have been done. I'm also eyeing some things that will eventually get it closer to 3100, but I don't want to take away from the "look". Julian, Basically Scott Brown gave John a Buick head to put his interpretation into. Easily duplicated and no rearranging. Scott now has a CNC program to duplicate what I have which are based on a Stage 2 Track Eliminator casting.
