I'm speaking to engine rebuilding on a Chevy 396/375 big block,
Our term for engine rebuilding
'Stroked, Balanced & Blueprinted'

Fun fact: GM never actually made a 396ci engine.... It was a 402ci bore and stroke but GM thought the "396" would actually sell better; I agree.

I'd jump on the extra air black CHnardas train.

Well it's settled then.. 7 of the 10 OGs are posting that they want the concept; I will find a way. Port matched black Chi-NarDas, DONE...

Cerakote isn't going to happen.... I just don't trust it. Now matte black powdercoat or pvd (like the black stumpy) I can do. Let me get through the current goon order and I will order another 100 NarDas and see what I can come up with for color. I considered doing them in matching colors to,the powder LBCs but with the obnoxious colors I have picked for,the powders I don't think it would look the best. Now Matt and or gloss black would look great.

Black Stumpy PVD would definitely float my boat

I'd like one also, on the current list but can wait...

Having done a lot of porting, testing on a flow bench, and real life 1/4 mile testing I can tell you that a lot of people over do it and that flow bench results don't necessarily relate to real life. Loss of air velocity and fuel puddling can occur when hogged out beyond a point, fuel / air separation with a little change in shape the wrong direction, and polishing can exacerbate the fuel / air problems and puddling in areas that change cross section. Just look at how the small port / valve Cleveland heads when put on a 302 Boss incarnation will run circles around the big port / valve Cleveland heads in real life with much smoother idle, low, and mid range power due to less fuel puddling and higher port velocity. Unless of course you are running a 7K to 9K power band then the large port heads shine. Same with the Ford FE high riser heads vs the medium riser heads. Just sayin'

Right on Catfish, this will certainly be a fantastic vape....all it needed was a lil more airflow to suit my vaping pleasure. Although I'm certainly not complaining about the original airflow design.

Make that 8 out'a 10...

Is that the relentless tip with the stainless core? Doesn't look like it

Good eye Naughty and you know you are right. The Relentless tips were parked right next to the one I bought in the case to go with cap. Guess I just assumed.

Pulled a drive by on Seattle Vapor this afternoon while we where out and about. Curiosity got this Kat. These tips are made by Double Helix. A check of their site shows a whole lot of choices. This one is called Dat Money. ( shredded cash in clear)

(Ya didn't think I'd stop without buying something did ya? )

How appropriate!

 

[Drillerrt]

Not an OG but count me in for a black ChiNarDa.

 

[67Tele]

I'm in for a black ChiNarDa too...as well.

Love the current air. Perfect for us MTLers

Maybe blue? I vaguely recall that catfish love blue...
