Jim has done an awesome job on my heads. A very reduced sized intake ports and flowing near 415 cfm at .600 and 450 cfm at .700 lift. Gotta love old school head porters that outflow CNC heads. The air speed is insane on these. All out of a 317 head. Just wanted to give jim a thumbs up.

Just a little update. We ran into P/V clearance issues with the bigger valves so had to disassemble short blocks and fly cut the pistons. Back on track but about two months behind schedule. Now ready for the dyno tune.

I am very interested in the lower lift numbers, can you post those as well?

.300/243
.400/317
.500/370
.600/413
.650/439
.700/450
.800/463
port is 1.750 x 2.250
cams are SR 255-259/704-704 net
This has been in the works for some time now with delays on my end “with builds” til now. Jim’s just been working on these on and off during spare time however making improvements along the way.
I am confirming cfm @ .300 this afternoon.

Those are really good numbers especially for the port size. What size is the intake valve? I would be a little concerned about the velocity, you have to be on the edge of going sonic.

amazing numbers on top, whats really surprising (on top of the outstanding high lift numbers) is whatever work jimmy V did to get them there did not hurt low lift flow which I would expect on something that gains so much on top. Cant hardly wait to see the outcome on the dyno. How big are your new motors, whats compression going to be, Smitty

Tks guys - their 565, 4.25 stroke, dart blks, 10.5:1. He’s got my Brodix hv 2001 intakes and 1150 two circuit carbs but Jim’s pretty adamant about claying up a profiler sniper intake and seeing what he can do with it. I kinda always thought with the same amount of porting etc the gains would be minimal btwn several of them.
If I see 700 plus “anything” at More Power Racing’s dyno I’d be happy. Just want a good tune and reliable engines. Since they did all my machining, balancing etc I had them do the assemblies since everything was there.
I always got a kick out of that engine I believe you dyno’d smitty with the chinamen intake and out performed others. 😂
