I was comparing a 3v vs a 2v. The cylinder heads available in the after market are just much better designed and you can actually make more power. Example: Foxlake ported trickflow heads for a 2v. Thats a 300cfm cylinder head. Going to that cylinder head from a stock 145cfm cylinder head.... lots of power. If i had money laying around, id love to build a max effort 2v motor just to say i did. But unfortunately i dont have that money.... hell if i did, id build one of every type of motor. Hell id love to build a 1000hp NA LSX platform...

Just curious, do you really need over .500 lift if you have two valves that open to .500 lift (Intake and Exhaust) and the cylinder head flows great at .500 and below?

Yeah, I know what you are saying, but what I am saying is how much would you really gain by the valve opening another .100 if the cylinder head flows great at lower lift numbers?

HUGE amounts!!!!
it's not just peak, it's flow under peak. if you lift to .650 instead of .500, it's not just the peak flow difference, it's all the extra time the valve spends open from .500-.650. and if the heads flow more at .650 than .500, that is a lot of extra flow and air.

Why would I be mad?? Your builds have proved what a pos a mod motor is. You should be mad that you are single handedly prove the fast guys how slow they are.

a local friend of mine just had a H/C/Nitrous 3v built. Car has full length ARH headers, full 3 inch catless exhaust, ported heads, pretty decent sized cams, and all the intake work. He made 15whp less then me with him spraying a 125 shot.

Yeah the 3v are weak...the new 5.0's on the other hand I definitely respect. when it comes to the 3v cars boost or go home. I've got a friend with an 07 GT withbasic boltons and a procharger at 8 psi makes 442rwhp.
