I'd mount it to something solid in relation to the tb but it works. This is lookin like beginnings of about as custom as you can get with a b3. Even has an aluminum engine mount. Did you upgrade the springs to control those heavier valves? VAF sucks for flow ditch it and go speed density when its still n/a, I'd like to see the gain you get from that alone.

Looks great Matt. I understand if it's "super secret", but can you give a little details?

What's the final compression ratio?
Did you port the head yourself?
What are the new valve sizes?
Has the head been flowed? Do you have flow #'s for the head, before & after?
What are the valve springs out of?
Is it a custom grind cam? What is the valve lift, overlap and duration @ .050?

c/r is 11.oto1 , ihave the valves in stock now, int are 1.411 exh are1.299 port work done in house ,cam is stock, springs custom 88lbs installed ht,175lbs @ full lift . ......... and it runs very well, getting bad torque steer , spins tires shifting into 3rd!

what pistons were those?

What are you going to do for a HG once you start getting into the higher numbers?

[mattdickmeyer]

pistons are stock. if your reffering to the head gasket, it's a felpro ,I consider the head gasket as a engineered in compression release, too much pressure and the gasket pops.I find it much easier to replace the hg than keep all the cyl pressure in and put a hole in a piston!

Ahh, ok. I don't see 500 or so HP coming out of a Felpro gasket though. When your shooting for those numbers are you gonna get a MLS made or O-ring the block?

Looks like she'll be wicked when its done
I admire your dedication to the b3 there's only been a few members to build the b3 - most simply swap

[mattdickmeyer]

I could water jet a hg out of sheet copper , but i'll most likly stick with the felpro . I bought one of every brand hg , felpro is the only one to have a stainless steel fire ring , this gasket will hold up to more thean you think!

[FestYboy]

not going with a beefier cam?
