Thread: WBODY STORE CNC Heads?

Pretty much every other platform when you go looking for a set of heads the company states that information.

Because that information will typically vary. Intense has flow numbers on their website. I don't exactly believe them though. Everything else you listed will change, depending on the head being used.

Sure cooling and fuel maybe more of a factor but e85/tune/intercooler/meth would help keep the knock down.

I'm not aware of a way to get our motors to that high of compression. I think around 11.5:1 is about the highest we can go while still keeping it reliable.
