AFR Blue Hornet Mopar cylinder head, Charles Servedio

After I learned that porting that style of head in an attempt at “significant” gains was less than rewarding, I adopted a method where I addressed the key areas to some degree, but didn’t go nuts on any one area.
I’d do some to the pinch, some to the bolt bulge, some to the bowl at the roof, etc.
But one thing I tackled more than he’s done so far on those heads is…….laying back the SSR.

My thoughts were…….the SSR is where the problem is occurring……so that’s where I’m going to grind.
With that approach, I’d get them into the 270 range…..with, from the sounds of it…….me not taking as long to get there as what’s he’s experienced so far.

In all fairness, I was working with actual Ede heads, not the imported copies.
Not having both of them in my shop at the same time, next to each other on the bench, I can’t say if there are some subtle nuanced differences that make it easier to get there with the Ede’s …….or not.
