Thread: Who's going for big power with the VE this year?

Good to hear daxx! Keep us up to date

Yea I would love to hear what those cams end up making, very good stuff!


Dudeman

well for cams all I have are OEMs no custom grounds yet....as for test results on the flow numbers. I have 3 sets of flow numbers already but still making sure that everything is consistent. I posted the stock numbers before and the 2nd set of numbes were at 289.5cfm on the intake.

I think this year will be very big for the VE. This head is amazing, the casting is robust and you really need to do some radical changes to make it flow through out the lift range astoundingly.

It is geat to see alot of peeps using the VE platform. 97serblown is whom you need to look out for, his setup will be redicoulous.

Nice motor build, the VE head is a geat design and you probably know that. I wonder what the flow figures are, is there no way of testing it now?To me flow figures is as important as a dyno/ dyno tune cause you are able to see if you picked up any improvements. On a flow chart I look at the flow numbers from .300" to .500-.550" lift this gives you a good indication on how well it was ported. Of course back cuts and seat design plays a great role in the numbers too.

I'm building a steet car. Here goes the specs:

Darton 90mm sleeves
90mm cp pistons
cometic 90mm gaskets
1/2' arp headstuds
arp main bearing bots
eagle rods with arp bolts
acl race bearings
N1 intake manifold
850cc top injectors
1600cc bottom injectors
Aeromotive FPR
Summit fuel cell
2 x bosch inline fuel pumps
200psi Surflo Water /Meth pump
Tiatanium BR retainers
H22 shunkII valve springs
T72 turbo
44mm tail wastegate
Tail dumpvalve
150hp nitrous system
PAR gearset
4340 flywheel
excedy clutch and pressure plate
Nismo LSD
Coilover suspensio
Wiggins clamp on stainless boost pipes
3' exhaust system

I think that is about all

Here a picture of the build

^^ Dam* thats gonna be a beast!!!

DERM nice to see your setup, I love everything but not too sure about that cometic gasket.

well let me say this on some testing that was done a while ago the best i saw was 299 cfm @ .500 on the int ports( i compared these flow numbers to a lot of other motors.. it did welll in comparison (on the flow chart which i still have, it shows alot of things which was done to achive this , this is not the head that is being done now, i should have flow numbers at the end of the week(hopefully)
the problem is not the intake ports, it is the exhaust ports which gave problems, seemed a little harder to get stuff proper(lets say the improvements were less than satisfactory over the stock exhaust)

also the testes being done, are they with n/a in mind or for a boosted app.

was this done a built motor?

I PM'd you, the design of the actual ex is what hinders from getting good numbers. I have heard of high 200s already with both IN and EX.I know of one person that has low 300s on the IN and one even way north of that. I am just about done with the headwork and doing some final cleaning.

p.m replied to..hmm low 300.. with no loss in velocity? this head was also for a boosted application
