I think despite the compression issues, it is still an interesting test..... I'm not sure, but I think in corner A: we have a 195 cc head that flows 300 cfm and will result in approxmiately 10.8-1 cr with its 64cc chamber. Whereas in corner B: we have a 205 cc head flowing 280 cfm and will result in approxmiately 11.6-1 cr with a 58 cc head.

Thus, one head is a little smaller, flows bigger but has almost a point less of a compression. It becomes a battle of flow vs compression so to speak. Will be interesting to see the effect.... I'm going to run it on my sim out of curiosity..... I don't know how accurate it will be, but its something to bench race about.

On financing for the test.....I've spent "a lot" of money over the last few months on my toy including $ 2500 to one of the manufacturers in this test.... but, I'll still throw a fifty or something into the hat if need be. Thats not a problem, but I will say, a test like this, you should be lobbying the very people who would benefit from this, which is potentially AFR or Trickflow or maybe the cylinder head porter......I'm betting the winner of a test like this could potentially see 10-20 cylinder heads sold over time based soley on the results of a test like this..... thats 10-20 thousand and would have warranted a few hundred dollar donation of some sort towards the free marketing exposure or at least you would think so.



Another good post by Beach. Josh, I certainly can't help you out with funding. I don't know what my 421 has cost me as of yet because I haven't added up the bills (better that way), but I am positive it's more then most would be willing to spend. Plus a bought a ZF6 to boot. I wish I could help with some funding, but I am straped!

Beach. I am looking forward to seeing what your sim spits out in regards to tq, and hp. Being that the TFS has a little bigger port, and has more compression to work with, I don't think the winner will win by a landslide.
