broncbob Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 SLO, was the window at your seat on the bus strawberry or bubble gum flavored? Face it man, there are limits to the stock head, and most people don't want to F with them to find out what they are. It's so much easier to change a dome when you want to play mad scientist than it is to pull the head and cart it off to the machine shop and have it decked and re-chambered. Case in point, my brothers stock bore and port banshee. We wanted to find out how much dome and timing we could throw at it and not deto the pistons back in to beer cans. As it turns out, at 5000' on 91 octane we could run +5 on the timing and 18cc domes. We started at + 2 and 20cc domes. So that would have been 3 trips to the machine shop, 7 or 8 head gaskets, (we opened it up to make sure the pistons weren't getting beat) maybe more. All that just to play around, or you have a cool head. We have the domes kicking around, but I bet even if we had to by them, we came out cheaper than what the machine shop and head gasket costs would have been.

mikechief Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 LOL. Did you really do all that? Did you notice a good bump in performance? My ass dyno used to ride it all over she won't go near anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
