Well I can see why I put this off for so long. Decided to port the chambers on my AFR 305 heads. These are a 2005 casting era, I bought them new as a ‘as-cast’ chamber. These had major ridges in them from when AFR milled in the seats and it was never cleaned up. I am told just removing these ridges is worth 10-15cfm basically across the map. Don’t ask me how much more power it will make but should help some anyways. Rough port work took about 1.5hrs a head but a final touch up of the chamber takes 1hr a chamber.

i am by no means changing the chamber shape, I am not experienced enough to know what to do there. Toolsis a 1/8” air die-grinder loaded with some deemed bits and flap disk wheels. I had some valves milled down you I can get closer to the valve seats without scoring them up.

once Comepleted I will send them in to get surfaced and done!

Finally got some race rims for the rear. Weld draglite, I already have a set of skinny up front so this will be the matching set. 15x10 rim. 28x10.5 slick. Weight is 39lbs each. Pretty good.

now to measure up if a 28x10.5W fits in the wheel tub!

 

[GoFast Beaumont]

Nope, 28x10.5W will NOT fit. Wheel tubes are big enough but the frame at the front stays wide 1/8” too much.

Lamb rear disk brakes, typically found on pro stock, dragsters, and super stock cars. This brake system is HD but still really light. Rotors are solid 0.4” thick, OE solid rotors are 0.5” thick for reference. As well 11.5” diameter. Lightweight calipers made of 7075 with 1.625 aluminum pistons. Uses the same mounting pattern as a Wilwood dynapro calipers. Brake pads are the same as a dynapro. So this is very universal all around with parts somewhat easy

weight loss, Lamb kit 11lbs each side. 9.5” aluminum drum setup is 16.5lbs each side. Weight loss of 5lbs or 10 overall. Take it while you can. Will post up install photos later.
