If your doing N/A you shouldnt need them. if your running boost. Been told unless your going over 35 psi again shouldnt be needed.

True, very glad to see that we are past the 9794041 camshaft and cast iron heads days.

Do you have a booth number?

Quarter Mile Foundation & Big Daddy Team up to help fundraise for Project 1320 at the PRI Show next month. Don believes strongly in sharing it with the generations of today & tomorrow.
The Quarter Mile Foundation will have a strong presence at the Performance Racing Industry Trade Show, December 1-3, 2011 at the Orange Country Convention Center, Orlando, Fla.

The Foundation will occupy Booth 801, near the Show’s Media Center, and will be sharing the location with one of the most important drag racing vehicles in the sport’s history – Don Garlits’ “Swamp Rat XIII.” The Foundation will use the show to continue filming interviews with drag racing and performance industry legends for the PROJECT 1320 documentary film series.

Extra head bolts are done with old E wide ports.
R Butler has them.

good for you!
a few short duration blasts and claimed performance trumps everything!
put that same logic on a street/strip car that sees mileage and accumulated heat, and youve got a warranty claim if youre a manufacturer!
perhaps i should respond to the guy whose spark plug threads are galled as you have me:

I guess even a blind squirrel gets a nut every once in a while huh???? Nice try!

if he still demands restitution, then he obviously doesnt appreciate your "blind squirrel" technique- LOL

First off this is the race section, i thought I would remind you of this since it appears to have slipped your mind, we are speaking of "race" engines not some street car in your scenario. Secondly, I have not the slightest clue as to what or whom you are speaking about in your galled plug thread comment... are you drinking when you post???

[7T2]

yes,
i am wasted dan...

Fair enough

[slowbird]

Jim, Calvin or Don anything new? Just wondering if you guys have gotten any further in your development.

Rumor has it - one vendor is very close to release of a finished head -- hmmmmmmm

Butler?

[johnta1]

At the PRI show, they had a 11º head with some as cast ports (very small) and some ported ones.
(showing comparison)
It was done by World Products.
Looked pretty good.
They had a 12.xº head same way that was done by Butler.

I talked to Calvin today and he confirmed that they are both from the same casting. I think that was questioned earlier in the thread.

Why would World Products be porting an Edelbrock head?

Test their skills??? Competitive research? Testing the market? Start rumors?

Interesting and good question too.


I have a hunch but I wont share it till I get more clues.

[johnta1]

Why would World Products be porting an Edelbrock head?

I didn't ask them.
They did have their booth number with it.
(World Products booth)

Maybe someone else can ask?

Just thought I would bump this back up and say the plug location looks good to me.
