318 360 Race Heads

Conventional heads modified to produce up to 50 hp more at 4500 rpm and up to 80 lbs/ft more torque from 1000-3500 rpm

Negative Supercharging race heads are conventional cylinder heads that are modified with special porting, valve angles, high flow intake and low flow exhaust ports to control the Negative Supercharging process and enhance the supercharging effect. Cylinder heads from standard, race, cast-iron to aluminium may be used with Negative Pressure Supercharging. However, conventional race heads must have the exhaust modified to the Negative Supercharging specs.

NOTE
Modifying used standard heads to the Negative Supercharging specs produce the same increase in power and saves over AU$2,000 compared to the cost of new performance heads, porting and valve work. For example, the Negative Supercharging specs improve the intake flow of standard 1971-91 360 cast-iron heads from 215 cfm to 250 cfm at .500" lift at 28" Hg and produce 15 cfm more flow from .100 - .400" lift than ported Edelbrock aluminium heads.
