Depends on the valve, if it has a hardened insert no, if not yes, the latter with a cap is a better set up and less weight

Thats a dam shame, Hooker used to be pretty good for the price, that china header is junk, check out ARH Headers,, but your gonna pay

I have looked at the elements that bolt in place of a core plug, but I'm not too fond of the fit. What other options are available? I "think" I want a heater that will install inline the lower hose. NOTE, I have a #12 AN lower hose. For drag racing, you should be heating the oil and not t...

Thats what happens when you dont put the typically recommended 220cc heads with 2.1 valves and 93% throats on your combo, your probably around 180-185 cc and shifting 6-6500, welcome to matching velocity needs to cubic consumption

I do not have the resources to spend on a dyno. I do use a few desk top dyno programs to help figure out trends or tendencies, I use dynomation and pipe pro 450. I have learned much from pipe pro, it set me straight many times. just recently started with dynomation. I run a wedge chambered Mopar BB...

i wouldnt close the valve 80*abc on a 5000 rpm 350, but at 9500 rpm i would if the comp is right How do you feel compression affects point of IVC? To me it depends on how tuned in you are with your induction system, if your combo dosent fill well at BDC for the cube and rpm your not going to hurt i...

Its a moving target, stroke , rod length, induction track csa, duration, rpm, lift plus others effect it, i wouldnt close the valve 80*abc on a 5000 rpm 350, but at 9500 rpm i would if the comp is right, there is still 66% of the stroke left and if your csa, velocity and a list of other variables li...

Exactly
