Finally Got Heads

[Carlos Reyes]

Finally received the Stage 3 heads I had paid for back in January. Now all I need is the CompCam and a Thorttle Body from Todd Z, a new fuel pump and I think Im set.

Nice, keep us posted

Are you doing anything to the bottom end of the motor?

 

[Carlos Reyes]

Between spending $4600 for the supercharger and all the SCT tuner stuff etc, the heads, exhaust, piping, headers and hopefully cam Im still looking at alot in installation and dyno time.

Id have to hold off on the bottom end for now as Im too poor, but maybe in the future I could complete the task. But without sponsors or a shop to constantly get help from I am somewhat stuck.

Beautiful!













But... They're... Missing a cylinder.



Unfortunately, you're really far away, 'cause I'd give up some free labor just to play with the tuning.

*cough* ahem *cough*

 

[Dingo]

CLos... Please tell me you're going to Louisville...

 

[Bill Barber]

dingo, you have tuning abilitys?

 

[Dingo]

Uh... Yes and no.



Yes if you're off the street. No, if you're from here.

 

[Carlos Reyes]

These heads were built for the 4.0 v6 model from a company that is running the same setup as I do, however theyn use it on a Mustang and run 9 second quarter miles. However that is a true drag car, this one is only going to be running 440 hp.



I will not be going to Louisville as I am reclassing my job to Explosive Ordinance Disposal and will be going to school in Eglin Florida for the next year.

 

[Bill Barber]

More details pls, some people are making big numbers with the little 6rs

 

[Carlos Reyes]

Sorry here you go

Edelbrock fully ported intake and exhaust ports plus high polished chambers and exhaust ports, plus length 1.90/1.56 swirl polished stainless steel valves, .500 lift CompCams valve springs (#80 seat), retainers, and seals : 226 CFM intake/176 CFM exhaust.

Though I believe that the valve springs were actually replaced with another company springs due to some unreliability with Edlebrock springs

Clos...please keep us updated.. Dying to see the progress.....

 

[Jeff C]

Tell me you're at least going with the upgraded pistons from SuperSix, too?

 

[scott degroot]

Now I don't have any experience building these 4.0 for performance but to me an #80 spring on a .500 cam seems a little on the weak side, I know if I tried doing that on any of my SBC's the valves would jump right off the seat.
