Default Re: Shoud I relieve my block

Somewhere in my past I missed this improved relief In the 60's and earler I relieved all my engines, but I wasn't in organized track racing, just street drags and a trip to Oarange to dragrace among the sky divers. Early track engines were relieved, but after a few years I discovered most builders stopped that. MY first trip to Bville was also interesting, Most of the blocks I saw there didn't have reliefs either NOT havinf FACTFUL information. I stopped relieving bocks and suggested to others that it didn't improve power and economy. I feel better now, however I've also made some port improvements that I don't think many people have done and have tried to post them on the barn these past few day with no luck. Very high STUPID factor here. I have some help coming over tomorrow and that might solve the problem
I have literly hundreds of pics of my experimenting back when I had my dyno, Most of the engines I built for coustomers were run on it for grakin and to prove the output. Non of them mad much HP but allot of torqur,
