Thats right! Still chasing that red and white mustang! Lined up next to him earlier this year and had him so shook up he forgot to pull the lever for high gear!

I saw them this afternoon

M. M.,

While Lem was there today, we checked the valve springs. They are 168 lbs. at 1.850" installed height.

Charlie

They are 930 comp. springs and they rate them at 153lbs @1.900. Valve float was probably before I changed them. Doesn't matter cause I am going with the roller. Just need to know which ones and what retainers. Any numbers yet?

No numbers yet, but I am working hard on them. We're getting close.

Charlie

One must be cautious of posting those numbers, may be a few A429 owners applying for a refund!

I have a very health set I doubt I will want a refund LOL

be interesting to see how they flow compared to mine

Could be interesting to post flow sheets of A429's that have been ported by the same guy over time! Maybe the porter could explain how the porting has advanced.

I can vouch for Charlie slaving away on these heads. He was porting and I was running back and forth with dyno numbers after each pull..

Funny, but that sounds like my dyno session early this summer. Charlie was grinding away on a set of heads while Mike, Randy, Lem, and Blake were putting the super tune on my engine.

I hear the grindings done now the valve rubbin then some #'s

You can alwys get some rubbing on yours.

I will one day but for now i can only afford to move more air from a little blue bottle

Saw them at Mike's..... lookin good !

I'll est. 372I/239E @ .800 lift.

My guess would be high 380's & mid 240's without pipe i wonder how many a429's this makes for Charlie

any Numbers yet?

I know i cant wait either Melvyn said he's gonna ask Charlie to post the results when he's done Hey Coug you have a max ported set don't you ?
