This is a very impressive video showing how CNC porting can be done. The video shows off some of the manufacturing processes that would be found in Air Flow Research heads as well as other brands (like TFS) when their CNC porting options are taken. Well worth a look if you like to see how things are done. Centroid 5 Axis CNC Head Porting
The Edelbrock Carburetor Jet/Rod Fueling Calculator lets you compare you current jet & rod combination with other possible combinations. This will allow you to choose your combination of jets and rods compared to your present jetting rather than relying on the base calibration for your carb. At the moment it is setup for the 600cfm 1405 and 1406 but we will be adding more rod/jet combinations soon. Edelbrock 1406 Carburettor Calculator

The replacement for the radiator that has started off my 5.0 roller motor rebuild has arrived! Its a lovely shiney northern radiator that is a direct replacement for the one that came out - transmission lines and all. It should polish up beautifully. Now I just have to wait for the AFR 165's and a whole host of other parts to arrive!

Upon doing so I discovered a number of burnt valves as well as some rust in one of the cyclinders! Time to look at a build up or a new engine.
A lot of being successful in Winston Cup is knowing how to build a lot of power reliably. With the power levels RDI engines were achieving creeping up and many motors going into road-race cars such as Cobras, Preston wanted to make sure that RDI was totally on top of crankshaft reliability.
