Don Terrill’s Speed-Talk

The other is a 302 performer, and the other engine is 351w with stock -69 4v iron intake.

Would Kroil help removing these stuck plugs?

Looking for feedback from experienced Ford builders, if there are certain cylinders in mild street application (dual plane)that are more likely than the others to detonate when you reach the limit. Thinking of tuning the carb and ignition with deto sensor and WB lambda, without a Dyno and need to de...

If it's to test your dyno, the cheapest way is to hook up someone else's proven 1000hp engine to it.

The strange situation where the dyno owner is nervous and the engine owner relaxed...

Thanks,

They are the new ones with beehives.

Can FRPP x307 heads be used with stock stamped steel bolt down rockers without geometry issues? Very close to stock street build 302. Went to those heads as the bang for the buck vs. full rebuild of the old iron ones was good. I appreciate that they are set up for bolt down valvetrain, but will usin...

Shifts the velocity profile upper in the port, reduces secondary flow in the bend, guides the flow better around the valve improving atomization and reduces wetting in the exhaust side of the chamber. May lose a little flow depending how it is directed. In my own crude wet flow testing the differenc...

New front discs may also have race oriented pads, which may not work properly before they are up to temp. Which means rearward bias before temps are up.

One in Red Bull F1. Maybe they didn’t have space for muffler.

Maybe they had room for headers instead at the time?

Apparently resonator at manifold is not exactly new idea

=D> A resonator tube is going to reflect a positive pressure wave back to #1 and #3. How do you reflect a negative wave to #1 in that manifold? (I've got a turbine corking the manifold outlet.) Maybe I’m way off, but wouldn’t 1/4 wavelength resonator connected to #3 be phase shifted to cancel out th...

Just brainstorming atypical ideas... Quarter wavelength resonator for the #3 at the frequency it begins to impact #1. Might be in the ballpark of manifold length at high rpm.

What if, instead of the ”cowpath”, you’d put venturi type of contraction to the end of #1. Less lossy from flow perspective, same speed as ”cowpath”, poor flow to reverse direction and the change of area would reflect part of the pressure wave energy from #3 back to the collecting tube with same sig...
