  • How Much Power Loss???

    I have a pair of lightly ported '769 heads on my car now with 3500 valves installed. How much power am I missing out on vs the '487 heads I have? It's peppy the way it is now but I don't think it's all it should be. See my sig for the mods.
    Increasingly I find the difference between a "fact" and an opinion is the number of people who believe it.

    3.4 block converted to roller valvetrain with 220/225 cam on 115 lsa, '769' heads with 3500 valves, LS6 springs & porting, twin T04E turbos, 3500 plenum with ported 3400 lower & 'short star' 65mm throttle.

      I won't bother with 769 heads. The latest castings were much more consistent and flowed better stock vs stock.

        I was searching for some flow numbers but couldn't find any. You think they're atleast on par with the later heads after a little work? I measured the ports on both and it looks like a .01" difference in port height otherwise they look pretty much the same.

          NM, found some numbers. About 10 cfm difference stock to stock.

              Different castings. '769 is older and '487 is newer.
