I think Keith's engines may have something to do with the 15:1 compression [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

For his the 750hp 408/421 he uses the Edelbrock Victor's and for the 850hp 427 I think it was Brodix.

In any case can't argure with airflow if you have the Cubes or RPM to use it. The interesting thing about the Yates head is the Intakes flow big, but look at the exhaust and the are about the same or lower as most of the other
high end heads (Canfield, Victor's, AFR's). Not sure how that works in the greater scheme of things as they make CrAzY Power in properely set up engine combinations.

And Richard, don't think that I didn't consider the Yates heads [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Just a bit different then most of the other old ford crap (intakes, headers, etc) that I have floating around, trying to at least keep the spare parts bin somewhat reusable across projects!
