Here is his 404 ci Boss that took 5th place:

Did you read where he is claiming 520 cfm on those heads, I would really like to know how he did that.

I've seen them in person..... It's not a claim it's a fact. Kaase does not lie about stuff like that if anything he will lowball the numbers.

I don't doubt you in the least, I was just surprised to hear that because Charlie said those heads were only good for the low 400's

Charlie's never done the things Kaase has with them. Kaase is on a way different level.

I would imagine when Jon cast those heads, he added enough material to go where he would ever need to go.

But with that said, the ones on the small inch engine I'm sure don't flow that number.  

The 599 inch engine probably has heads flowing that number, with a very high velocity port to make that power on pump gas and @ 6500 rpm

I'd like to see you compete...... You may just get belly full of that pie.

Dave, you can bad mouth me all you want, but I have never claimed to be a professional engine or car builder, that contest is WAY above my pay grade.

I'm not bad mouthing anyone, I just don't like it when people slam a friend of mine. A bunch of you on here may not like him but you should listen a little to what he's saying you may learn something. His delivery may not suit your fancy but the content is usually on the money.

He is very opinionated and mater of fact guy. I just look at my friends good traits and over look the ones that maybe not what I prefer.

No ones perfect................. Randy's good, way out weighs his gruff.

The funny part is, a huge percentage of the time he's arguing with someone, he is usually right.

X2 and the majority of the time it's somebody hows done some stupid idiotic crap and they want people to tell them what the want to hear.....

No, not this time Dave, I asked him a simple question for some clarification, and he went down the "you're too stupid to understand road"

and what simple question would that be?

Oh boy, I didn't mean for this to turn into a pissing match. It was just a light hearted jab.

I think that 520cfm was a typo, probably more like 420cfm. But I could be wrong.

X2.About any engine,not just Ford. Ya know,through the years I've sadly MISjudged people before I really got to know and meet them in person and was way off on judgement to say the least. Luckily Randy Malik wasn't one of those people.Like Blake said,Randy CAN be a little Brash on the keyboard but when you hopefully ever get too set down w/him and listen,it doesn't take long to realize what a sharp and nice guy he is. When I'm around him,i listen and keep my mouth shut.

Gentlemen...

Let's get this back on topic...

Whew!

If I could have edited some of these posts out of this thread, I would have done it...

But, obviously the landlord hasn't fixed all the issues yet...

Agree. Please fix my thread!

I've got a message into the landlord...

No it's not a typo. They will do it, but it's not a basic fluff and buff port job.
