    Whoa...is that sweeeeet or what!...some very nice work all the way around..particularly on the cage...I've got to do the same on mine at some point.
    Some excellent flow numbers on those heads also...2.15 intake valve?
    The block looks vaguely familiar...dont ya luv the meat in that thing?
    Are you able to get the flow numbers out of the BG 4150 style carb you need?
    I was happy when we found out we could get the required 1030 cfm on mine...I hate the look of a dominator on a small block:16suspect

    They are 2.15 Xceldyne Titanium intake valves and 1.625 Ferrea Inconel exhaust valves. Yes, I do love the block!! I put the largest sleeves available in the race demon, I think they are like 1050 cfm are there abouts. I also have a dominator carb/intake combo that I will run in classes that allow it. I'm just kinda guessing at what it will do (since i've never had a motor like this) but I think that with traction 5.50's are well within reach, @ 2900 lbs.

    That's pretty good flow numbers at .500 lift, mine only flow 320 at .500 lift on a 4.125 bore.....a little bit more on my 4.155 bore but the head guy didn't have a 4.155 bore fixture.

    Having 2 intake and 2 exhaust valves doesn't hurt:)

    I'm just lacking about 150 plus ci:(

    4 valve cobra motors flow great factory . thrown in a CNC port job and they flow awesome.
    They are limited by the amount of lift though. You dont see to many cobra cams over .500 lift and even then the heads require machine work to get close to .500

    I am also inspired to by you to maybe up the N20 a tad but and go two stages.....100 shot an then another 100 lets thinsg ease in a bit a little less destructive on the internals...

    Daydreamer...I'm running a 347 with Trickflow heads. Wish I could make it this year but things have been too hectic at work. Hopefully things will be better next year and I'll see you guys.
