Title: CB Performance Wedgeport heads
Post by: Stephen schmidt on August 21, 2019, 20:04:36 pm
Hey Guys,

Just wanted to bench race for a moment and see who here has used or is currently using the CB performance Wedgeport heads on their engines with success.

Any WHP dyno numbers? 1/4 mile times?  I'd love to hear about your combos!

Getting excited as I have a set of these on order with 44x37 valves.

My combo will be:

84 DPR crank x 94 Cima/Mahle (but I also ordered some Weisco's...so we'll see)
Wedgeports
FK89
11:1 ish compression
1 3/4 header
48 IDA Webers

Trans is a 3.88, 4.11/2.47/1.71/1.31 with SAW axles, Quaife, Erco mainshaft, blah blah...

Stephen

I hope so! I wanted this combo to be able to produce 11's, so that's the goal with some seat time!

We did a 2332 a few years ago [mag case,scat crank & rods,wiseco pistons in long cylinders, scat rockers fk89], with out of box CB wedgeports[44/37.5,650 springs ti retainers] with only flycutting for compression, nice matchported tall manifolds with 48IDAs, msd and decent header, ran best 11.56@116mph with Jo driving in all steel 61 ragtop,factory glass etc, with chromoly cage, 2 race seats and no back seat but everything else factory weight, even had spare wheel in place still :o 
We ran slicks but no burnout as we had no idea what was in gearbox as it came with car :o

cheers Richie

LOL! Maybe the gearbox was stock, who knows  :D

Great story, gives me hope! :) What compression were you guys running? Race fuel?
