Motors mods to increase low end torque

[txstang84]

i think i've heard of top fuelers popping out plugs before...but then again, 6000+hp and 80+psi boost can do that...

i've never seen a spark plug shoot out of some trick flow or AFR heads...

Me either!! Im talking about 4.6 factory heads.

 

[willys1]

I'm not the 'crazy' one -- I believe it was you who said "Besides the wieght factor Iron heads are "better" then aluminum for HP!" Don't kid yourself....

I wont Mike,,,Givin a choice I would buy aluminum,if I could afford them Iron heads are stronger,and they 'do' have a few better features!! I know what I said Mike!!

I'll never go back to small blocks again lol, j/k, small blocks can be fun too.

Mike,,givin a car (5.0 for exa.) with the same head port configuration and flow #'s are the "exact" same,and comp. ratio,,the steel head car will win in a race!!

You want torque across a wide rpm band?

Here is the resutls of one combo with just the little ole KB1500......

 

[willys1]

Is that with a stock cam Tom?

 

[tmoss]

yes it was

willys - we'll just agree to disagree as I see it differently.

Now how did I know you'd come and post in this thread? That windsheild banner is just a wee bit innacurate now though, no? Maybe you should change it to "Mustang 7.6"...

I mean it will make more power..The steel head holds heat better,heat builds pressure,therefore increasing compression,a full point over the aluminum..

I got a big chuckle when I saw all the crap on the cowl......

what kind of compression are you talking about? static or effective?

willys - like I said - we'll agree to disagree.

For example lets say a car,,engine with 12:1 compression,the steel heads will actually trick the motor by holding heat in the chamber,while aluminum will lose a point because it doesnt hold heat..

LOL,,yeah,weve done this before

i didnt read all the way through this post so dont flame me but on the first page i read someone saying get long tubes....bad idea....really only becomes a good idea when you get h/c/i thats when long tubes make power....but thats my two cents from reading the first page
