Does your engine "count" to you?

on another note...who makes 15 degree heads for sbc? that would be raw for an all out n/a motor.
I got a full tilt 4L60E, people do go fast with them and make them live.

15* heads, GM makes the SB2 and SB2.2, both I think are 15*(canted valve). I think a few companies make these radical heads for a small block Chevy, I am pretty sure Chapman, Brodix, Pro-topline makes a 12* head for a small block, just to name a few.

592 rwhp through a th400 though my intake isnt a persay lt1 intake ..gm has had a carb style 4th gen lt1 intake for years... I only dynoed my car once just for giggles,for I usually dont tune on a dyno. Mostly I tune at the track since dyno's are to me not a true real world environment...If I can dig up the graph I'll post it...

Tunnel rams have been around since the 60's all Holley did was put a box plenum on top, pop some holes in the end to mount a throttlebody, not exotic.

GM 18*, and canted valve SB2.2...to me are exotic....you have to buy all the supporting members to make the stuff work, intake, rocker arms, pushrods along with having headers made.

Our heads are standard 23* small block chevy heads that are converted to fit an LT1. All standard small block chevy stuff will work with them including Hedman 1 7/8 headers, shaft rockers etc.

Now our intake may be considered exotic as it is the only one on the planet like it, but hey you gotta do some stuff different to go faster.

Seeing as Mingames 18* 383 LT1 is the only one I know of, there may be more, who knows....that in itself makes it exotic.

Thank you for your thoughts. I do see your logic now. Cheers.
