pffft. I made good power with my 165's on n/a (300/325), blown(525/532), and nitrous (413/560) combos.

My intake is what held me back (OEM cobra)

I'll play nice and not throw Did you donate those to a musuem? I have never seen an E7 headed car put down more than 240 (if that much)rwhp. You guys must have perfect air in Tennessee. 165's provided a huge rwhp increase over my OEM GT-40's

FWIW there is very little flow difference between 165's and 185's.

my lower was stock on all combos mentioned. I ported the lower on my last n/a combo but yielded no gains

they are in florida they are on a buddies engine they were originally for a PS car then he just went crazy with them if I had the flow numbers and dyno sheets you would freak I lost them in a computer crash I will see if he can send them to me.The heads have titaium valves in the now but had used reground chevies stuff when he was doing all the testing,cheaper to test valve jobs on junk!! I was blown away by the results I did his shortblock and it was shit old stock parts with new pistons.his best numbers peak were carbed and average were injected with a systemax

Yea, I've heard of hogged-out E7's flowing in the 230-240 range...but that still would not "better" an AFR 165. The rest of the combination is just as important: You could have an E7 head with the right cam and matched intake runner out-power a 165 headed motor with the wrong cam and an out-of-the-box intake.

Bench racing is great, huh?

Huh?

E7's flow as good as AFR-165's and make the same amount of power?
Is that what you guy's are saying?

If so ......................

Like Matt said I love bench racing.......

want a set he has 3 all in various stages the most worked set is in use and will make about the same numbers stated above.I didnt believe it till I saw it.The heads fall off quickly but remember E7 is a high velocity head.Mike has large amounts of money in his stuff he wanted to run these heads for some unknown reason he is very hard headed and now the guy has the port patterns at Mikes expense.You guys may waste money on the 165 but I just dont see the need for such a small head cause everyone in this game aspires to have a faster car and need look to the future when buying parts not starter aluminum heads atleast some twisted wedges.

Back from the dead once more. Ok. After A month now I decided to open the hood. Took the professional products fuel reg off and put my factory on. Then took off the upper intake added spacer and tightened everything down. Noticed a crack in my EGR tube so got a new one from the dealer and get it on. Spent around 30 mintutes last night trying to get it running. When I first started the car it ran great then quite after 45 secs. So I was like humm. Played with the timing and vacuum and still couldn't get it back to running. So then thought about it. What it the basic theory in a motor running. Air/Fire/Fuel. Well ends up I was out of Fu$$ing gas. Car is now running.

WHAT SHOULD I SET MY TIMING ON FELLOWS?
