I've been doing some research on building a head properly. I'm new at this stuff and the majority of it I wont have any experience with, so I thought I'd put up a thread and see what people can give for insite on how to build the best head possible. Specifically I'm looking at Cams, Valves & springs. this stuff kinda spurred from this article.
I know its written off of a hot rodding site, which may not be the best place to get my tech from, but hey its a good place to start.
I'm also looking at building with response & torque in mind, so I'm not trying to get a peak hp number.
I guess the biggest thing I found was that lighter everything was better. Also there was some mention about Beehive springs vs Parallel wound. Can you get those for an RB26? Any manufacturers?
How about replacing the valves... There was some mention on titanium, except that it cost an arm an a leg. Also some stuff about stainless hollow valves to decrease the weight even more.
Anything else I'm missing in here? Can anyone give me any specific products?
Maybe some Cam suggestions w/ specs?
