Porting the heads

[08BIGRIG]

Got word yesterday that the heads are completed and will ship out tommaorw (Friday). I was in meetings last night and did not get to talk much to Matt, but I am going to be making the call eairly this morning and getting all the details.

I got the heads back and all I can say is WOW!!!! They are crazy smooth in the runners and ports. Good job Matt with these ones forsure bud. I would recommend his work to all looking for top notch results.

Is some of the port work done with epoxy?

No there is no port work done with epoxy in the heads at all. Just some massive porting and polishing.:naughty:

 

[08BIGRIG]

Pictures coming very soon.

I'd like to see some pictures. I was under the impression that you couldn't really get crazy on the cylinder heads with porting without compromising the water jackets.

Like I had said before the insides of the intake and exhaust runners are VERY smooth! I think that he did do a good job with these. Excited to see how they work out.

Glad you liked the way they looked man. Can't wait to see some results. Those heads moved some serious air.

This build is going to be awesome. Have you decided on the fueling yet?

What results ? Before and after with the only change being the heads ? That would be a cool test.

Truck gos on the rollers either later today or tommarow for some starting numbers on the new Dyno Dynamics Dynamometer at Performance Diesel-an awesome performance shop about 10 miles from my house. Plans are to do a few pulls and then get a base number to start with. Then add a few parts; tow powers, ported heads from soot with Hamilton springs, billet pushrods, ported intake, steed speed manifolds, custom up pipes for steed speed manis from Elite, ARP headstuds, and Elite wastegate kit with welded downpipe. Stock fuel for now with this build but I have been thinking either 60'S or 85's for the nozzles. Not sure what to run with for fuel as I still want to tow and have LOTS of fun on the street and track.

Sounds like a good build. Is the Performance Diesel you are reffering to in DePere? You have a pm.

Yes it is in DePere, WI. Great group of guys and they are talking about becoming a vendor on here soon as well.

 

[SoGrand]

Tell Norm and Jeff that Dan at Midwest Transmsission said hi. Yes they are a great bunch of guys.

 

[08BIGRIG]

I will forsure. I will be there all day tommarow working with the dyno.

 

[08BIGRIG]

Ok guys I want to know what u think.about the fueling for my truck. I was planning stock fuel to see how it was going to be,but I am a liitle.worried.that there will be.too much air and not enough fuel. What is your take on this and what size.nozzles.would.u do.

 

[forcefed6.4ford]

60's and tp's will be fine with a stock fuel set up. I think Mike had Elites high powers on a stock fuel system and loved it. Oh the powers of a vgt.
