Chris I too suggest blake cartwright get a chance to demo a set. there's not many guys on this site that are Well rounded enough to give real world unbiased info as Blake. I ran one of his cams before yours w EXCELLNT results. plus, Blakes not sponsored by TFS.

My vote is for Blake as well.
Good honest un-biased feedback.

Blake is a cool dude for sure & I've been trying to get Oakley to quit lying about the AFR flow numbers.....any of you guys that want to spank him for such come to the Ford race at US 60  .

Let's put the burden were it belongs....AFR sends the heads to Blake and flow them on Phillip's flow bench during the race weekend.

My engine probably needs freshening, if they treat me right I might even do an A-B dyno test between my heads and their top head. I would have to cut the new reliefs in my pistons while they were out.  

That would be a very good comparison. I think my engine would be able to take advantage of the flow they have.  I don't think it would be an over headed engine and not totally test the capability's of their head.

An intake test could be done also, Mafia, my modded (Super Albert Victor),  stock ported Victor, and AFR manifold.

So which head would you use? I'd think the 270 be out.  Seems the 300 be only one close if you just go by the listed flow numbers. Then is the question of which exhaust port. Would this be stock vs. your worked P-51's or work over the AFR's to the same level.  Personally I'd like to see what a box stock 300 with the 1/4" raised exh. port would do. Just thinking out loud.

He could probably do it in the same time it took for these heads to come out.

You guys gotta understand that these have ants 1/4" raised ports.

I'd be nice if AFR would deliver......seems it'd be later than sooner.

But, it's been  a cool deal for AFR ........people promoting the product  for years that was not there.

Doubt that will ever happen,though I did see one carry a round bale one time. They are strong lil sumbitches.

Question is...if you were sitting at a stop light in your 3,300# Fox Mustang and some gay LS Chevy guy was in the other lane and you had one block to get it done....3,200 stall converter...which engine would you use?

1] 727 Hp @ 6,400 rpm - 674 lbs. ft. @ 5,000 rpm

2] 652 Hp @ 6,500 rpm - 649 lbs. ft. @ 4,700 rpm

3] 707 Hp @ 6,000 rpm - 694 lbs. ft. @ 4,800 rpm

?

Engine #3 is quite an achiever, it is within 8 HP @ 6000 rpm of the SAMS 532 pump gas P-51 engine. The SAMS P-51 is 715 HP @ 6000 rpm. #3 is better on torque @ 4800 by 40 Ft. Lbs than the P-51. #3 has a 256 flat tappet and the P-51 has a 273/280 roller.

Tom Petty had a song that ~ said....'even the losers get lucky sometimes'.

I'd say the cam the SAM guys had was a bit more than needed to do what this project wanted.

The SCJ FRPP head has a smaller intake valve & port than the P51 deal...that and the shape of the short side radius is very compatible with the typical SFT cam. lifts.

Interesting thought on the Cam. SAMS did test a smaller cam, 260/268 108 .726. They only list peak numbers, 728 for power and 679 Tq.

Tom Petty wins again.

You'll have to forgive me, but I have little knowledge about what the SAMS were trying to get to. Was it about doing a real street engine or about trying to get a big number .

Lots of good info over there if you can weed through the bs and ls cult mentality.

"My brother's girlfriend's cousin has a friend who knows a guy who did this" and so, it must be true ... that's the kind of crap I remember from over there along with a bunch of opinions and most are inaccurate.

Haven't been there in a couple years and don't ever intend upon going to visit.[/quot


Sissy. The power of the bullet scares another one off.
