Looking forward to seeing the results, Josh. I know "the other Josh" at HHP is really looking forward to the Shootout, too.

No Mopar Performance 392 heads? I'd like to see those run against that group.

I already sent an email to them, and have yet to get a reply. If they can get a set of heads to me for a 392 application then I will be more than happy to include them into the test.

Tell me more...

Hoping to get Car Craft Magazine to cover this test. Would be nice to get some nation wide coverage. Will keep you posted.

Dude, this is AWESOME to hear...but bringing in the Mopar heads WOULD be icing on the cake!

 

[LegMaker]

whoa!!! this is very cool news!!! will be very interested to see who comes out on top!!! this is my next investment come the spring!!! woot!!!

 

[Trojan]

All cars will run the same cam and tune, Were gonna start today with Installing the PPP heads and the cam, Well custom tune with the CMR and go from there.
Then will swap to HHP's heads and then the PR&D. So it will be interesting.
If Mopar Perf wants to send us some 392 heads they will be given a fair shake as well.

What about!

I know where a set of Mopar heads are sitting around......that came off a certain 392 drifter!!

Why isnt GSM/CMW being asked for a set of their heads???

I'm testing the heads I see as the biggest movers out there in the community. Not to mention I'm doing all of this free of labor and on my dime. I can't really go off and test 10 different sets of cylinder heads on a car. If you have a built 392 laying around I will make a custom harness for it and we can do this test on an engine dyno and test all the manufacturers. Doing this test on a chassis dyno is very time consuming so I have to watch my time accordingly.

 

[LegMaker]

makes sense......

 

[sdcarguy]

My question is about what trojan said. He said the PPP heads were going on then to be tuned. Isnt this a bit of an advantage to them since your tuning for them then expecting the others to work perfectly with that tune?

I appreciate that your doing this on your dime! With that being said would it be possible to use the CMR to do a tune for each to allow them to run at their individual peaks?

And by the way THANKS!

 

[Trojan]

The tunes will be adjusted to show individual peaks on each set of heads.

 

[jaak]

Looking forward to the results!!!!

good to hear..... at least you guys are trying to keep the playing field as level as possible..... kudos to you guys for stepping up and donating your time, experience, and resources for the knowldege the rest of us will benefit from!!! also kudos to the vendors that offered their stuff up for such a comparo!!!

 

[Dookie]

This will be good!

 

[LegMaker]

This will be good!

yes kyle...... yes it will!!!! will probably play a BIG part in my decision of which vendor to use when the time comes in the spring!!!
