To think that 20 years ago I drove an hour just to help you swap a transmission in a driveway in the middle of the night just to win a race and to see what you have accomplished and created now. I am not the least bit surprised and so glad your sharing such useful information to the racing community.
I run a 4.5000 bore spaced (small) block Chevy 😂 with twin forced inductions 83/85s I bought it 2 years ago from my buddy that ran rvw it was blew up. We took it to our machine shop and ordered all the parts and fixed it.
Very interesting.I never really paid attention to this.I am a N/A guy but definitely nice to understand and take in more correct input.Thanks for info.
Awesome love this kinda of stuff helps make since to the ones who are on the fence or just getting into the sport!! Keep up the great videos and we cant wait to see ya at a track next season!
Mo snow... just built my first engine, should be about 450 hp. Turned quite a few laps and it runs like a boss. Yet always have more questions and want more knowledge! Thanks for your time!
Good info! I'm a small block Ford 8.2 deck 331ci with a Vortech YSI-B & Airflow research 205's heads Running 5.00s in the 1/8th and 7.90s 1/4. I see you are running a Vortech V27 gear drive. If you don't mind what V27 are you running? Thanks.
@wesleysnow46 Awesome V30 105a how do you like the blower? Does the blower seem reliable? I'm asking for a friend of mine who has the same blower as you. I sent him your video to watch he wanted me to ask you. What times are you running if you can disclose them? Thanks!
Great info, I am running the Chevy sb splayed valve heads and would be curious what your thoughts are on them when it comes to power adder.. right now I’m nitrous which is not ideal for these but not sure if boost would be better or not.
Splayed valve heads are the best, just make sure your combustion chamber is softened when running nitrous or boost. Boost is better than nitrous for the type of racing we do.
Any one can do this to find out where the air is flowing into the chamber. Just take your shop vac. and put a suction on the intake valve at any valve lift. run a piece of string into the port and watch where the string enters the chamber.
It’s really a lot more complicated than that. A shop vac will not even come close to pulling enough air thru a good port to strain it enough to show its weakness. The string will just take the straightest shot. When a port is highly strained to flow as much as possible is when the weakness will show. That’s why we use flow benches, 28” can be pulled and still flow 600 cfm.
@@Snow-Racing I started flow testing heads in 1970 when the SF100 came out .And then I bought a SF600, serial #11. I also did lectures to Automotive engineering students and I would always challenge any student to put that string in the port on any head, they always flow around the short turn radius. So air does find the path of least resistance.
@@racerd9669I’m really intrigued that you have a lot of experience as well and this works for you. Will have to try it sometime. I may have understand estimated you by your first comment. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Run the best factory iron you can find. Stroke it to its max. Make as much power below 5500 rpm. Shoot for 10:1 compression and enjoy the spoils of the work for as many years as you can.
If we ran street cars that we wanted to drive forever I would agree but for what we do I don’t ever have my engine below 5,500 rpm and the weight of the iron heads would be a killer.
@@approachingtarget.4503 and what exactly does your comment have to do with this great video??? Your opinion of engine combination isn't necessary here.
A well built Ford Will out run and out last a Chevy or anything else out there. Just look at Brett with the snot rocket 14 mustang GT stock block coyote with selves stock 302 cubic inch twin turbo run 604 240 in the quarter mile run 380s in the eighth mile there's not another car out that does that right now and he drives the car on the street when he runs the race that goes to several different tracks and the real kicker is he was a big time Chevy guy that's what I love about the mustang it's made a lot of the so called competition buy one Ford power forever baby a real Chevy and dodge killer the best never rest they just keep getting better has a Ford blu by you later come get some
It’s all relative to what kind of racing you do. Some engines perform better than others in certain classes. No one engine is better than all of the others although the mustang you are talking about is very impressive and has a very good engine combo for what he’s doing. But it’s not better than all other engines. It’s very hard to beat a specific built race engine and no stock type engine should be able to do so. The BBC is a force to be reckoned with in the factory engine stuff that’s for sure. And I also know of some SBC stuff well into the 3’s. Doesn’t mean they are better than the coyote because they run better ET, it’s still apples to oranges. Thank you for watching and commenting!

The best times and memories in my life
I enjoy listening to someone who knows what they are talking about.good job man.
Thank you for watching!!

That’s a serious piece. I wish I had a combo that nice!
Very interesting.I never really paid attention to this.I am a N/A guy but definitely nice to understand and take in more correct input.Thanks for info.
The head choice is even more important for the NA stuff, my expertise is more in NA as well and love trying to perfect it!
Awesome love this kinda of stuff helps make since to the ones who are on the fence or just getting into the sport!! Keep up the great videos and we cant wait to see ya at a track next season!
Thank you! I will make several videos like this coming up soon on other topics!
Wes is the man. Very smart humble guy
Thank you Chuck!
Great video Wes, keep them coming. I love it!
Thank you!

Thank you! I plan to make a lot more in depth videos soon!
Thanks so awesome
Thank you!
Great info man. Always nice to learn new things.
All GREAT info! Good to see it! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
@Snow-Racing you bet bud. Started with the engine teardown, and I'll be watching more. Subscribed.
Great Video. You do great job describing everything. ☝️
Thank you!
Video is awesome I learned alot!
Love your videos put more of them out brother
New favorite video
I really appreciate your support and comment. I hope you like the next one just as much.
How are the afr 245 heads for boost
Very good, highly recommended!
AFR NICE

Very cool! I run the V30 gearbox and 105 impeller. Very impressive ET numbers you run with that combo!
@wesleysnow46
Awesome V30 105a how do you like the blower? Does the blower seem reliable? I'm asking for a friend of mine who has the same blower as you.
I sent him your video to watch he wanted me to ask you.
What times are you running if you can disclose them? Thanks!
Message me on Facebook…

@Snow-Racing
I don't have Facebook but I will have my buddy message you.
Wes my buddy said he messaged you earlier and for you to check your message request.
Thanks again!
Great info!

SN Ford has a six bolt per cylinder head option. 🤔 Thanks for the video.

If you are on a budget like most are you build sbc or ls. If you are brand loyal to another mfg you build that.
Very true. I am loyal to which one I know and can keep running with the lowest cost which is just my opinion.
Run the best factory iron you can find. Stroke it to its max. Make as much power below 5500 rpm. Shoot for 10:1 compression and enjoy the spoils of the work for as many years as you can.

Never sbf short rods long stroke is garbage
