Different cylinder heads, rockers & bump sticks for use on the 6.5

[EWC]

FT , didn't know you were the moderator here . I was asking to see if Husker had some numbers from his ported heads . Was curious to see if the numbers were close to mine . How about we keep this technical and you keep your personal insults to yourself .

EWC, Your opinion is yours and mine are mine....you came into this thread on your own free will making like you had the best flowing heads in the world for a 6.5 td however when I asked you to provide all the results of your wonder porting you admitted there were no before, during and after engine dyno or track results to show of the porting you had done on your cylinder heads actually made more power or reduced power under real world operation......

"KEEP IT TECHNICAL YOU SAY." I am, I've said it before and I'll say it again cylinder head flow numbers are not all there is too porting cylinder heads other tools are required "before/during/after" like an engine dyno, roller dyno or track to determine if the porting actually is making more power or reducing it under real world conditions not only on a flow bench."

You have a nice day!

FWIW, EWC, I never said that I had ported heads on either of my 6.5's. In fact, I don't, nor ever intend to port match, polish, or otherwise alter the flow pathways of the head just for the sake of doing so, for a multitude of reasons. That is just my opinion, and I'm entitled to have an opinion that is based off of my circumstances with my vehicles.

FT , you seem to have a problem with reading comprehension . I'll type this S L O W L Y , hopefully you can keep up .

Never said I had the best flowing heads just that mine were ported . You seem to think that your opinion matters to me . It doesn't . I'm not interested if I have dyno numbers to appease you or anyone else that feels the need to dissect every little detail and criticize other peoples work to improve their own thoughts of self importance . I grew tired of the endless threads of how to get more power out of the 6.2/6.5 and all anyone ever said was to throw more turbo, bigger exhaust , etc and be happy . I wanted to try another way . If that doesn't please you , too bad . I have numbers on my heads and both the single and dual plane intakes , do you know how much they flow ? Oh wait , that's right you don't think the numbers mean anything . If you don't think it's worth porting the heads , that's fine but don't castigate me because of your narrow minded views . I was sharing my experience with the heads , intakes and cam from my combination and nothing more .

FLAME ON !

You need to get a hobby or something!

EWC, I’m having a hard time understanding what your beef is with my opinions. You entered this forum string on your own free will, then you bounced all over the place with questions too which you don’t like the answers.

You made claims of good flow bench cfm flow numbers done by some mystery porting guru, when I challenged you on testing via an engine dyno pulls or track runs before during and after porting to document if the porting that was done indeed produced performance gains or not. You admitted there are none. All I did was point out to you that flow bench numbers are not all there is to properly porting heads. My best guess is you did not like that so you claim I insulted you.

For whatever reason, you decided to insult me today about my comprehending what I’m reading etc. while you clearly can’t grasp the reality that opinions are like anal orifices which everyone has one.

For the record, in all the decades the GM 6.2/6.5 N/A & turbo have been around the general consensus is that porting the cylinder heads is the least desirable modification for 99.999% of those who use them.

Aftermarket figured early on, it would not be a profitable endeavor to produce ported heads for an IDI diesel designed for work not performance. As evidence of my claim, I searched quite a few terms relating to porting the GM 6.2/6.5 N/A & turbo and a couple of names kept popping up over the many, many years and in all those years not one individual who claimed to port these heads could provide any proof whatsoever as too whether or not their porting increased performance perhaps you are one of those individuals hiding behind the site handle EWC.

The industry standard is using a good flow bench along with engine pulls and/or track runs before, during and after porting so EWC stop bull shi__ing those who don’t know any better about properly porting cylinder heads and confirming if the porting yielded positive or negative results.

You claim you’re sick of everyone claiming just go bigger with the turbo, exhaust, fuel etc. so I suggest you seek the professional help you so desperately need to deal with that admitted illness you have.

“HAVE A NICE DAY!”

Trailrider basically covered it . Maybe what I'm saying takes you out of your comfort zone and makes you look like you don't know what you are talking about ?

I guess this argument boils down to who prefers to be blown and who prefers to be reamed.

I guess this argument boils down to who prefers to be blown and who prefers to be reamed.

Except the people who like to get reamed still need to be blown.

I personally think that wasting money/time on an experimental cam is much more worth while than wasting money/time on porting heads.... [emoji15]

In all reality, anything we do aside from throwing a better turbo, exhaust and adding fuel to the truck, everything else will most likely give minimal gains. For best power per dollar, turbo, tune (or a free turn of a screw), and exhaust are probably the top three. Everything else is just trying to make things a little more efficient to squeeze a couple more hp out of it. Now if this cam I am testing out proves to do for me what it does with torque on the Fords, then it may be worth the $300 he sells them for. But we shall see soon enough I suppose.

OK , that's good stuff . Now we wait for the people to come on and say that anything but the stock cam is a waste of time and money . You decided what and how you wanted to modify your truck . Doesn't matter if it's a cam or porting heads . Your own needs and skills were put into play along with the budget . It's your choice and if it flops , move on and try a new theory . This is how technology moves forward , by little advances in all directions . That's one of the reasons I don't get FT , so much negativity with anyone trying something new . No one can tell me about my engine because I don't know where this will go as far as porting . Maybe this is the first step , as in getting more air , and the next step is more fuel . A lot easier to port heads , when building , than to disassemble from totally built . I'm not advocating porting for everyone just that there are some , or a few , that do it . Just sharing my build with the group , no magical porter or any of the other BS that FT posted . Just sharing .

Maybe port the cam?

 

[n8in8or]

Maybe port the cam?

Or regrind your PMD.

 

[Husker6.5]

Or polish the heat sink on your cam?
