| I must of missed the day when HP didn't cost money or time, time spent chasing HP costs money. Wether you like the saying or not its true. Patience is a virtue, there are multiple development projects going on as we speak with the alum. heads. They are being laid out for specific purposes and reasons. The one thing that should be pointed out is that in todays age parameters can be laid out very accuratley to taylor certain projects. The old days of trying what I would call off the wall things just to see what happens aren't really neccesary. Dyno testing will be performed to back up different levels of performance. Giving customers the most for their money is a priority with the new heads wether it be as cast or at different levels porting. Camshafts for the new heads will also be available The expected delivery date for the 2nd batch of heads will be some time in October. I don't think anyone will be let down .

hi ted, i just got done looking at the 56 hotrod article and they showed the 56 merc 2x4's holleys had 6.688 sq. in. of total venturi area. the carters had 6.60 with a 1/16 smaller secondary's, and the edelbrock 3x2's with 56 ford 2bbl's had 5.32 sq. in. with stock 1 1/16 butterfly's. after they bored the carbs to 1 3/16 they showed 6.65 sq. in. of venturi area. i'm sure someone here can convert those # to cfm. they never did try the 2x4's on the finnished engine. i think it would have done a little better with the 2x4's. 342 cu. in., ported c heads with 11.3 comp., 1 7/8 intake, 1 5/8 exhaust valves, and headers. 303 honest hp. but there chart showed 340 corrected hp.
