Speedmaster Small block porting tips and results Part 1

I would be shocked to think that you don't have a great idea of how much a full-port job would be on a set of heads?

It’s his thread...... and he’s doing it how he wants.
So, it just makes sense he comes up with the time estimate for how long it takes him to do the job he’s outlining in this thread.
(If he feels like it of course)

Also, he’s gotten more flow out of that style of head than I have....... by a fair amount.

I’ve done several sets that made nice power and went pretty good in the cars they were in...... but the flow wasn’t anything special.

The Ede’s are pretty painless to get into that 270cfm range...... and they’ll make over 550hp like that on a bracket race engine.

My current pecking order(based in large part on current costs) for this type of head, if I were going to put them on something myself(based on a 4” or longer crank)......
500hp or less -unported heads with good valve job and bowls blended
500-550hp-cnc ported with good valve job
550hp plus- TF heads

It’s mostly based on economics. At those hp levels, the next better head just makes more economic sense if one is paying for it, as opposed to doing it for them self.
