I cannot believe Kurt's and Mike's Kasper car had AFR 205's on it that BLOWS my freaking mind man.

I knew they were 4 bolt, and I knew they were old school(ls wise), but I didn't know that they were AFR's.

Neat looking head John. Curious:
What does intake valve weigh?
What springs come on it?
What adjustable valvetrain fits?
What size bolts hold the valvetrain on the head?

The Valves are MANLEY stainless steel.

As to flow numbers, we're not huge believers in them, the joke around the office is "what do you want them to be"... and I know you guys are smarter than to use flow numbers to determine anything...We advertise our flow numbers here:

Note we post both 600 and 1200 benches, we flow without a pipe, etc...etc...etc...

Customers have told us that they consistently flow more than advertised, and maybe not as much as some PEAK advertised numbers, but more across the board.

Hey Kurt,

The intake weight, I have no idea. They are Manley Severe Duty 5.300 intake valves.

Springs are:
http://www.theengineshop.com/product...e-springs.html

Pretty much the same source as everyone else in the industry that is selling springs.

Stock or Jesel rockers work or equivalent.

As to the size bolts, good question, no one ever asked. I'll check it out and get back to you.

Hey Guys,

It's great to see people pushing to new limits on this platform !

We took the Australian car out last week and ran a PB of 6.89

It's doing consistant 6's with the LSX filled block but now weighs 3000lbs with the driver

I suppose It's not too bad considering it started life as a real car .

Finally adding some boost,


greetings from Down Under

NICE!

Keep pushing the envelope my friend and throw the boost to that bad bad girl!!! 6.89 is awesome!

BTW the first 330' of that run to the 1-2 shift look effortless. You guys for sure have that car on rails!
