I still beleive he would be better served with castiron even with
those comp numbers, I don't think it would be problematic if everything
is properly set up and cooling is up to par.
Possibly the bling factor is involved.
All good comments from everyone. I sent email with photos to Edy, will see how they respond.
No bling involved, honestly. Moper's dad worked at P&W, I used to work design at Boeing Aircraft. ONe of the unprinted comments some designers made at work include dont fly on a new generation of aircraft for several years until public use/time works the serious bugs out first. Design aspects like did we pick the right resonant frequencies...no idea as theres never been nacelles built this large before, etc. Too much stiffness adds too much weight...gotta get the weight out. You just try based on all past designs. Then theres the new management who chooses to ignore all past lessons learned so they can make a fast buck today. Look at the 787, all the production problems...thats what happens when you ignore the past.
BAck to the cylinder heads. I'm just trying to be efficient, but maybe too nurdy. The RHS heads would be ok to a point...but there are so so aspects to those heads as well, but maybe they would hold up longer...don't know. Notice there are almost no photos of the RHS intake ports, and comments like ignore the large mirror image rocker stud bumps in the intake tracts...removing them makes no difference. Well if it makes no difference then the port shape must be really poor. They should have designed a more efficient port..kept velocity up.
Not so say edy heads are the cream...this is one of the tough parts of running mopars...limited performance parts to pick from.
Thanks again for your help and ideas. Thats the way I was taught...everything is a team effort.
