heads

[blkp42e]

im throwing around the idea of getting my twisted wedge heads fixed and ported, or just fixed and sell them to step up to a set of the R series heads.

my stock Twisted wedge ones flow 170cc Intake and the R series flow 205cc intakes.

i know bigger isnt always better, so i dont want to step up to too much of a head for my combo.

The 170 cc heads dont flow 170 cfm, that the size of the combustion chamber for each set of heads. The 205cc heads have a 205 intake runner volume, and they flow a good bit more than 205 cfm.
Get your 170cc heads ported by tea or foxlake and you'll make more power than what you'll know what to do with. Rurn the boost up on your current setup & make the extra power, easier & cheaper than doing the heads.
Good luck!!:goodidea:

You're going to have a major Piston to Valve clearance issue with the bigger valves of the R heads and the stock pistons, so plan on changing out the pistons as well.

Fixed:pinkthumb:

No offense Jay, but you are not even close to being in the same league as TEA or Fox Lake when it comes to head porting. :no:

[Domination]

Oh, I thought they where doing it by hand. I didn't realize they had a CNC program for his heads.

:yes: and Ron at Fox Lake basically invented his heads.

Well, CNC ported head are Dough, and I'm right down the street from Wright pontiac, soo....:goodidea:

If your gonna do a T.W. cylinder head try the T.W. 185. The R-Series is a huge mis-match on a stock short block and would most likely require flycutting of the pistons. Give Brian Tooley a call at T.E.A. (1-330-634-2155) Explain your goals to him and I'm sure he will have you pointed in the right direction.:goodidea:

Holy crap, 600$ for a CNC job. That ain't bad!

What is your labor rate on porting cylinder heads?

big +1 here too.

[blkp42e]

what stage are you guys referring to? stage 1 or 2? if i did anything, id have domination fix the heads and send them out to fox lake and probably opt for the
Stage 1 CNC FAST Port & Upgrade
Your heads-Our Porting & Valve Spring upgrade
with new seals, Assembled


$900 though. ouch!

+1. i have stage 1's for now.

50 an hour. I can get a set of aluminum heads decent in around 4-6 hours.

WRONG, 170cc or 205cc is reffering to the port VOLUME, if you had a 205cc combustion chamber your compresson would be like 4:1 with dome pistons, most head have a 60-70cc combustion chamber, and yes the runner volume number is not the amount of flow:goodidea:

[gmkillr]

Yes, I was typing fast w/ a baby on my lap, I fixed it.
Thanks

[Rodeheaver's]

I do all my own port work and some for customers, the head on the left is about done, the one on the right is very far away..

[coralcoupe1993]

Fox lake is getting my TFS heads and intake this winter. If you want, I can take your heads when I drop mine off. :bouncy:

Cool, not trying to be a poop head, but i like to see correct info so the newbs dont get to far off track:rotflol:

Will do! :awsome:

No, he'll be at my Mom's!

Are you goin??

[coralcoupe1993]

Are you goin??


I wish. I have so much stuff to do at work and I need to change the gears in my car. I am going through at around 108mph but very low RPM in 4th. I need 4:30s not the 3:73s that are in it. They worked great with my DRs but with the slicks.

[gmkillr]

Were goin to Quaker City Friday, you should come out there, its alot of fun.
Jess & Bobby will be there too.

I am running into the same probelm with my slicks so it is 4.10 time!

I may go 4:30s but if I build any more power :rolleyes: that may be too much.
