Sorry. Really don't feel like having twenty "experts" come in here and providing analysis on my description. To be honest.....I'm pretty fuckin' sick of it.

The entire chamber has been laid back away from the valves.

The Livernois heads I bought back in 2006 were done that way, too.

no worries man, I knew that was the root of your post, I appreciate the insight!

That ain't it. Look at the seats around the valves

Not with that picture, Vinny.

The way they laid the chamber back is different from my first heads.
In bowling green last fall we found out how much timing it likes.
But we also found some signs of heat.

So livernois had custom guides and seats made. The seats are bronze.
Also we are changing the cams to help the issue.

We have not run this motor all out yet but we are getting
ready to. So far 7500 rpm is all we have spun it to.
It will handle 9000rpm easy

I still am going to run the 88mm in dragradial.
The 94mm is for local outlaw and something special
when needed.

Vinny,
Just for the sake of curiosity......do you feel that the car is more competitive in Drag Radial than SSO? I know you have not seriously leaned on the combination yet but you did finish relatively well in Street Outlaw last season. Just wondering if y'all have discussed the full potential of the car and if it could go rounds in SSO.

 

[vinnybarber]

Well sd since you brought It up.if it runs what we think with the 94mm
Then yes I will stay in sso.
