I think there's a chance CV's could give the Pro Port some competition.
I am curious who this "we" are you keep bringing up?

I never claimed it was my idea... YOU keep implying that!

The point should be... that if that hadnt been corrected at Edelbrock, anyone with pro-ports would be at risk of a very expensive issue. NO one else on PY had brought it up HERE at PY.

WHAT IF it never got brought up and Edelbrock hadnt revised the casting?
Someone might have lost a motor and a lot of $$$$$ and lots of finger pointing.
Is that what you prefer?
Anyone that might know something just sit back silently on the sidelines and laugh???
Apparently, because thats what your implying I should have done.

Lets quit mucking up this thread with your nonsence. Its a great disservice to Jim or anyone interested in the progress of this head. It certainly has no technical value.

Bruce, you really think Jim or anyone else would have sold anyone a head with a plug location problem " REALLY " NO! I don't think so! It's not available as a complete head it's a head that's in development.

Working the seat/valve details. Once we get those details worked out we will flow and finalize the port shapes. Then off to the tracing guy and finally CNC work. At least that is the plan...

Some news on the Pro Ports. The intake flow is almost 370cfm at .500
Slobber over that for awhile.
Other details not available to the general public.

These heads are very promising,and should not disappoint.
Guess,edelbrock knew a little something about design. Who would have suspected.

My Pro Ports will be here next week, cant wait to get going on the development for them.

Why not share the rest of the curve? Does the port back up or something?

I heard a major vendor has a cnc program already that goes 450 cfm. And the release date is sometime around early summer.

And have heard of a set going 480 cfm.

John they flow steady up to an 1",if it was my project i would give out more info.

Nothing like coming on here with big claims of 500+cfm and making no power.

This is just a teaser anyway,sort of like watching porn and just before you get to the end the electricity goes out.

Besides,there is no power to be made above .500 ,since most of us inline head users still rely on the 041 and can't make power above 5500rpm without tossing a rod or a splitting block.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
