But the engine will make more torque with a small exhaust valve!
















Good post Dennis.

Nice post Dennis, I guess from reading this and my understanding that unless the exhaust ports are total crap on a LT1 factory head that a 1.6 exhaust valve would be more of a trade-off than going with a 2.02 or larger intake valve.

Good job Dennis.

Are you taking bets on what % of the folks buy into what you said?

So Dennis? Whould this be the same for a small time nitrous motor, maybe a 200-250 shot? leave the exhaust valve the same size, and just work with lift and or more duration? Which would have a better effect, or a little of both? Thanks.
