REPORTING JOB

SWIRL STREET PERFORMANCE

All performance Cylinder Head reporting jobs, used for street, are made carefully to keep or to produce a better SWIRL movement in the combustion chamber.

Most street profile camshafts are designed for a lower lift at valve. This SWIRL is tested under .400 lift. It's where we work, to help the customer, to keep the best performance under 3000 RPM engine range and keep the best GAS consumption and Torque.

All reporting head port intake exhaust is made according to the application or the usage of the customer.

The budget plays a big roll in this job.

The street engine RPM cruise 2200, 3500 (6500 maximum RPM), the low lift reading flow is very important by example : flow test at .050, .100, .150, .200, .300 lift at valve. For a flat tappet cam, the valve job shape is very important because it have a lot of crankshaft degrees rotation for the low lift valve profile.

We use a cutter tool valve seat multiple angle 70º, 60º, 45º, 30º 15º to 0º. A deshrouded job is made with this milling machine. Price is $175.00, 15% more flow automatically.

Port match, port blend, edge cut V8 S-B w/die grinder hand made, price $175.00 for 10% more flow +/- 3

DETERMINING THE COMPRESSION RATIO

The compression ratio is based on the formula:

P.D. + C.V.   = C.R.
   C.V.

P.D. = Piston displace: (.7854 X bore diameter) X 2 X stroke = total cube inch
C.V. = Cylinder volume: (cylinder volume inch) ÷ .0612 = total c.c. // (cylinder volume c.c.) X .0612 = total inch
