I visited my heads today at McKenzie Cylinder Heads. Todd McKenzie is a true artist. The way he transformed my heads from narrow tubes to cavernous chambers is masterful. It is astonishing how restrictive the OEM heads are, and how much excess material is present. McKenzie showed me before and after photos, and the magnitude of the change is remarkable (I will post the photos as soon as I receive them from McKenzie). With the additional chamber size, in conjunction with the enlarged valves, my engine should flow much more air and be much more efficient. McKenzie also ported the intake manifold. McKenzie is finishing my heads and shipping them to EvoMS tomorrow (Wed).

Meanwhile, my tranny is finished and currently en route from Germany to the US.

I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. I may be flying to Arizona in a couple of weeks.

Craig,

Keep at it. The stuff you are doing to your car is fantastic!

 

Well done my friend, I am happy you took my advise..now we will also have a tip in the 9's...its about time....congrats!

 

Seriously hope so Craig. It's always difficult when you've got parts, not only all over the country, but in other parts of the world as well.

 

Did Mckenzie flow bench test them? How much increase in flow did they see?
Are the valves oversized? What brand and composition? Details, details, we want details.

 

Tip in the 9's,
now this is cool stuff,
even mid to low 10's would be more than awesome!

thanks for sharing your passion with our passion.

Nah,

Sharky already has a tippy in mid 10's we need 9's!!

 

Can't wait to see the finished product. I can't wait for more Vipers/F-cars that attempt to take down the lowly automatic Porsche.

 

Yes, the valves are oversized -- made by Ferrea -- made out of Nimonic. McKenzie also installed Technovance Beryllium Copper valve seats and Technovance valve guides (intake: manganese bronze copper – exhaust: manganese bronze aluminum).
