Here is what he showed to me and his description trick vlvs.jpg Cup Car TI valve (center) weigh’s in at 89 grams. The black valve made from expensive (very) unobtanium weighs in a 13 ...

I'd use them as long as it wasn't an endurance application. I keep your spring pressures under 600 pounds.

EYE CANDY the only purpose I see for them is to impress people at car shows. To show off the AFR bling when the owner opens the hood and tells yea she's got over 600 HP . It will port up nicely but you got capabilities there are a lot nicer castings out there for a more economical price

When did George start building E85 carbs? I actually asked him about doing some about 2 years ago and he said he didn't fool with that stuff at all.

Greetings to you and Walter it's been awhile since I've been on here. Now that you mention it I remember being told that that PRI his year. Sad to think ...

If you select the cam timing based on the TR and spend the money on carbs with someone who knows what they are doing (@MarkWhitener) the TR will out perform everything. Leaning toward 660's with metering blocks w/4 corner bleeds. Cam solid roller 264\268 @.050 109+4, considering a little more aggre...
