Great, Ted did you flow the heads? if so can you give us a hint? Flow numbers will tend to vary from one flow bench to another so the numbers may not be applicable when comparing heads tested on different flow benches. With that being said, this year’s 2016 EMC Y heads are flowing in the neighborhood of 290/275 at 0.650” on the intakes and 186/194 at the same lift on the exhausts. Not bad at all for small valved heads.Y block Billy (10/17/2016)
Did you make any changes to get the higher numbers? I.E. jets, timing etc. or were you happy and just made back to back pulls withjout changes? Team Eaton made a total of 10 pulls in a 35 minute span. Optimum ignition timing was figured out at the shop and was simply verified upon cranking the engine up on the UNOH dyno. There were jet changes made during the 35 minute time period and one of those jet changes was made addressing a lean condition that ultimately was the result of a linkage problem with the sideways mounted Holleys. Changing eight jets instead of four does take some coordination to do it in record time. To their credit, this was discussed and rehearsed in detail prior to putting the engine on the dyno. The team members proved their worth in how easy they made the jet changes look. The highest horsepower pull did come at run #10 but that particular pull had a lower score than three of the other pulls that was used for scoring. The peak numbers were not as important as having a broad range of simply good numbers in which to average. In essence, we were trading HP numbers for TQ numbers to up the score.

A big congratulation goes out to Ted, John, Geoff and Royce for keeping the dream alive! I am thinking the small block Ford is a Windsor with Cleveland heads. They will have to give the LS it's own class next year so they don't have to compete with Ford so they can win.

Hope it's not the kickass Yblocks holding them back as it did in bygone years!
