On circle track restricted engines, with a combination of a specific valve guide height and lobe design, I have seen a valve launched as high as 0.160" during Spintron testing. Because of valve to piston clearance, it is a bit of trial and error.

Do you have an idea how much more area under the curve there maybe verses the dwell type setup we ran years ago? Stan |

-Head A stock completly untouched
-Head B has flow characteristics that make me feel like it will be okay (.5 under) -Head C has flow characteristics the make it a record setter IMHO And Head C has correct port volume, but probably has a larger CSA at several key places in the port.

Let me add a little more specific question to this:
.444 valve lift cam. Lift -------- Head A -------------- Head B .050 -------- 50.8 -------------- 35.1 .100 -------- 81.0 -------------- 57.6 .150 -------- 108 --------------- 88.2 .200 -------- 129.9 ------------ 117.12 .250 -------- 142.3 ------------ 136.6 .300 -------- 157.0 ------------ 158.0 .350 -------- 161.8 ------------ 172.6 .400 -------- 166.8 ------------ 175.6 .450 --------- 166.4 ----------- 175.6 .500---------- 165.8 ----------- 174.5 Which head would you rather have? Head B is a bit better up top but Head A is substantially better down low. I would still say looking at it from an area under curve stand point that Head B would be slightly larger but very small difference. Last edited by HawkBrosMav; 12-14-2020 at 02:11 PM. |

Low-lift flow is very important in a "restricted" engine.
