Vortec Cylinder Heads

[stock car driver]

yeah I know......I was just stating that gm's were aluminum!

Those newer style vortecs made good power and had thicker decks!

GM vortec heads are NOT aluminum... And vortecs have a thinner lw casting than earlier model heads period. The newer model ones are actually thinner yet.

Fast Ford what do you recommend for timing it has 4vr flat tops heads were cut but probably very little only to true them up block is not decked i am gonna use 0.26 head gaskets it's also on e85.I am hoping for 10 to 1 compression or a little better. I probab!y should have had blocked decked but the funds were not there. Thanks.

28-32 timing for vortecs, I have never seen a vortec make more power above 33 degrees on a chassis dyno with motors from 9-1 compression to 15.5-1.

And you're still the keyboard non-racer jackhole, that's you've always been!

I see you disappeared from the tailgate section, guess you can't handle the truth over there......I guess that Mueller report must have you on suicide watch!

yep ghost town for sure, I check back every few months and always see the few that are replying dont know wtf they are even talking about.


When most of your posts are in late model gossip or tailgate section, you should probably avoid the tech section.

[fastford]

and some thats posting in the tech section should stick to the gossip and tail gate section......

Then you'll have to take 1/2 of a baby aspirin worrying about it, and losing sleep over it!
