    Between watching Steve Morris and Chief tech videos I’ve really learned a lot of little things that add up trying to achieve maximum performance from an engine. Steve and Chief both describe things in ways that anyone who is mechanically inclined can absorb and replicate. Props to Jackie, she is pretty sharp as well and definitely understands exactly what’s going on…impressed with the correlation she made with the timing related to the rear gear and torque converter. Chief and Jackie y’all are a awesome team 🤘🏼

    Ole boys program was ended when the valves munched pistons. He was found next to the car in the garage later that morning against his done blowed up unit. They said it was his last bullet, and his eyes were open staring at a paper plate used as a makeshift timing wheel.

    If PTV allows... it would be interesting to see what it does installed on 110ICL than backed up 2 or 4 degrees at a time to the 118ICL it was. My suspicions are the way it was installed on a 118 the Intake valve close event was more than the motor was asking for even for 8500RPM. From what i learned you get to a point where the "port stalls" and you cant fill it any longer and continuing to laten the IVC event nets no gain. I call it saturating the port. Obviously rpm/bore/stroke piston speed also play roll but if a heads only gonna move what it can move no point holding the door open longer, unless ofcourse your really trying to midigate cylinder pressures for other reasons LOL.
