Kibbles and Bits or Puppy Chow? I'm thinking Kibbles and Bits but I always like to ask.

You race down at Englishtown?

Also I know a lot of people port their own heads or like to and these videos of my heads being done might help them do so or if they please can contact him to have the work done.

I don't race at E-town. Atco, Maple Grove, Cecil, etc. is where I hail.

A video of a guy porting doesn't tell much in terms of the quality. Show me some CONSISTENT results with those heads, flow sheet, etc.

If I was racing Nascar, NHRA or Indy I would look at flow rates but for what I am going to use the car for; a weekend cruiser and once or twice at the track a year I can care less. He does guarantee the heads to flow 1-2% variation which is close enough to CnC quality. Rather then spending 3k on some aftermarket head I can have the same results for 1k, sounds like a good deal to me.

There just isn't enough credible information here to make any educated informed decisions.

My credible information is that I got $1500 dollars left in my pocket over AFR, AI, Tricks heads. Have a good day.

Flow numbers are great if you can relate them to many things, like....Cubic inches, vehicle weight, camshaft, carbs, intake manifold and last but certainly not least "wet flow characteristics" To put it simply, the flow bench is 1/3 of the formula, wet flow is 1/3, and Mathematics is 1/3....In reality, math is 75% of it.

So what were you looking for?

How much HP do you think a stock bottom end can handle? There is a lot of hype or should we say sales pitch.
