Also on Australians, this is KRE, Ken is mates with the guy that started Noonan, who I posted a few pages back that has the most insane engine shop in the US imo. KRE also do sprint car engines. The Total Seal, Hidden Horse power pod cast does an interview with Ken explaining in detail the new supercar engines. Lake Speed Jnr from Total Seal is another crazy engine guy.

Yea I guess this guy is saying "screw you" with his work to the idiots that think ramming boost into a stock head is actually going to achieve anything. If it was that easy, all performance engine shops would go broke and garret and pipe fabricators would be where it's at.
That Torana looks set to win by the looks of after the upgrades.

I just about to watch this one, it's 2 hours old, as of this post.
This is Mike Kojima, he was a engineer in Japan and worked for Nissan and TRD he also has been a magazine editor. He now runs a shop in the US I think they might be LA based, and they do street cars, drift cars and import drag cars, they do LS stuff too.
I watched his Honda K24 video and if I ever build a fast 4 I will be using a K24.

This is a older build video, but it's quite interesting.

This is a good video showing how to grind a crank, my local engine shop I use has one, Brian the owner does all the crank work, I've had a chat to him while he did one of my cranks.

This is MBE's weekly vid from Matt and Jimmy, Jimmy started Yellow Bullet.
Notice how every head seems to have ports you could use a put-put hole, this means most are 3.000" MCSA meaning likely every head there is near capable or way capable of 1000hp N/A, remember for every 14.5psi of boost you will double that power.
Also hear the part about the Joe Hornick springs, he said that head can do .900" lift for 10,000 miles so 16,000km with no issues and the new tech springs are smaller, lighter, less pressure and work better.
Some truly class leading stuff.


This just popped up, uploaded at the same time as the one above.

This is Spier race heads, Eric Weingartner learnt off him.
I never knew about this company but obviously killing it if the US will eat up his product.
