Default Re: CNC Ported heads

The combustion chambers of these heads are opened up with the CNC work. End up about 60 cc- which in most cases will give you around 11:1 CR. No problems on pump gas- according to many.
I don't know a thing about rice burners.I do know that cubic inches are king and it takes mucho dinero to compensate for them.
Rice burners sound like old Mopeds with a straight-pipe. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Have a safe and Happy New Year!

Twin-turbo Toyota Supra. They stopped making them in '98 or '99. If you find one be prepared to pay.

Default CNC Ported heads

I'm considering the Lingfelter CNC ported heads that are sold by SDPC. One version is milled .055 and comes assembled and the other is not milled and is bare without valves or springs. Which should I go for; I'm spooked about too much compression with the milled heads but I could be wrong?

On another topic, I watched the Fast and Furious movie on Xmas. It features lots of fast rice-burners doing 1/4 street races (apparently, no F-bodies and C5s allowed)...

Some of the more-heavily modified street cars were claimed to reach the 1/4 mile finishes in 10 seconds. They were smoking prancing horces too!

How hard is it to modify a rice-burner to achieve 10 second time slips? I have owned vettes and f-bodies for years but have never owned a fast rice-burner. This movie made me challenge the view that rice-burners are BS. So which rice-burner sould I buy?

So hey guys, have I drunk too much Saki?
