Subject: So how come? by CorvetteBob on 2012/2/18 4:38:48 How come all the companies that make cylinder heads can't come up with a 180cc intake head that has 58cc combustion chambers? They're the ones making them, why can't they make a 58cc head? I know for as an,"as cast" head this would mean a new set of casting patterns, but if they're gonna sell a set that's hogged out by cnc'ing them, why not start out with around a 55cc chamber as cast, and mill it to cnc specs. Then the financially challenged dopes like me might feel better about buying a set of heads if I know I can bolt the "as cast" heads on and maybe even get a raise in compression. I was looking at AFR's website and their specs on the 180's referred to the L98 heads in several spots. That tells me they know L98 guys are looking to buy these. So why not sell something that can be bolted on without having to mill the crap out of the heads AND the intake to get things to line up? Does this not make sense? This has been probably the biggest stumbling block to me actually buying a set of heads even more than cost. Why do I want to spend over $1500 just to start milling on them AND my intake to "make" them work? I'm done bitching now. You can go back to your lives. And by the way Andy, I'm sorry, but I'm still not getting Email notifications from the Guru. |
