Product Updates
The first group of CV-1's sold out in 5 weeks! More
are on the way with availability scheduled for later this month. Many thanks to the Pontiac community for embracing the new
technology. Some of that first group are already in vehicles and will be displaying initial results soon. Ill be posting links
to that info here as it becomes available. We
thoroughly enjoyed our first dyno session. Nervous energy gave way to excitement as the Superflow SF-901 began to show results
from the "out of the box" unported 2.25/1.66" valve heads and gasket matched 4150 series mainfold. The 900cfm
carb/one half inch open spacer provided a broad, flat torque curve with the home fabbed 'turtle' in the manifold that
will soon be available for purchase due to its positive effect. Timing was set at 34* total. Power was still rising when the redline was reached, but the engine's owner decided
to play it safe considering the 2 bolt mains and cast crankshaft. Specs and results are as follows:
Roland Racing contracted Ruble Racing (417)866-0381 as an independent
third party to do the testing. The man in the video is 30 year race engine builder/dyno operator Jim Ruble. He pointed out
that above 6000rpm the fuel usage (BSFC) was steadily decreasing while the horsepower was increasing. Those BSFC #'s were
in the low .4 range, which were the lowest of the test. This is where he felt the motor was starting to "clean out"
and run its best. As a footnote, the valve train
performed perfectly again. No signs of pushrod/guideplate wear, as inspected by Mr. Ruble. First production run!
