Hi guys. Heads are aluminum Trick Flow High Ports. Fuel is straight gasoline... Mix of VP C12 and C16 with a little MMT. No alcohol. After coming off the dyno, it had duct tape put over the exhaust ports and sat in the back of my minivan for a week or two, then was brought inside to a heated/air co...

Let's face it 55 Chevy had no clue how much power would be extracted from this engine design. If they had, who thinks they would have still stuck 2 exhaust valves together in the middle of a head? RT seems to be the only one who understands bypassing water at the rear can be and is beneficial but re...
