I dyno'd 370 with the Spirals and 440 with the Classics. Kudo's to Eric @ Classic Chamber for providing a quality product and the customer service to back it up!

Now for the bad... Even at 440 rwhp the motor's developing much less than it should. I can only assume that it due to my restrictive heads. I had Keith supply me with valves and springs but I had a local shop accomplish the port job and assembly on a set of Eboks that I already had. The port work looks great but I honestly believe that they flow no where near Keith's stage 2 or 3s.. There's just no other logical explantion. Now ..... do I want to spend another $3K for a set of stage 3 heads or just accept what I have now??

Dave I have to ask you, did you have the center tube uncapped at both ends of the spiral inserts? This would permit significantly more flow through the sidepipe than if one end was capped from what I understand.
