Keithc8 Thanks for your time and knowledge you are sharing. I know that you guys are pushing the 900 hp window. compression is in the 14.0-16.0-1. Carbs are getting better at atomizing the fuel, but the trick is vacuum readings at WOT. All the new designed manifolds are coming out with wave ports to help speed the flow, stop drag of the inlet charge of A/F. Puddling is stopped when the accell pumps on the carb give that shot of fuel to accell the motor. I think a 1000 hp FE motor is not out of the question. A head design will make this possible. I think you can getaway without 5.0" bores, the tunnel port heads look to be the answer without the pushrod tubes going through the intake port. Oval the intake port and move the pushrod, with an offset rocker setup you are there. SOHC heads are coming and figured the intake flow would be in the mid 400 cfm without alot of work. You can get sets of the beehive on that nascar used parts site. They say that they are used for testing and maybe 1 race. Thats all. The spring are like new and with sprayer built into the valve covers to keep the springs from over heating, they could like in a street motor for a long life. Thanks for the invite to the shop. Will try to stop down on the way to St lious for the Run&Gun. Last week in august. I have some work to do on the car. Rick Lake
