Love to see a Carl Foltz interview. See lots of CFE stickers from pros all the waybdown
Thanks for the suggestion
@@hiddenhorsepowerpodcast Carl should be a no-brainer for a interview! Him and Ron Winterhoff are some of the best ever to grind on a cylinder head.
Keith Wilson is a great guy. I met him in the mid 90s when he consulted on the engines for the ProStock team I was a crewmember on. He's one of the rare individuals who made the transition from the blacksmith shop (no disrespect) methods of the early days to utilizing and embracing the latest technology while keeping the same old school work ethic.
I go so far back, I watched Tim Hogan figure out to use his Flow Bench at night, while he was porting heads during the day for Mullins… I also knew Mark Knonquist (sp?) when he was the assistant engine builder at Bahari … long before he went to JGR
Mark is the man!
Keith is awesome!
I’ve been working on cyl to cyl water movement since 1988. Big gains where else can 557 cu” Blown Marine run on 87 octane gasoline 800 + HP.❤
Thanks for sharing!
You have the LARGEST radiator out of ANY vehicle....
The WHOLE lake. That helps BIG time.
Amazing , a Bowtie part number , on a hand finished manifold ,,, !
He’s the man!
Great show, love hearing from the performance Masters and their stories. Every day quest for perfection with hard work and determination.
Thanks! There is tons more to come!
I liked this talk. By the way I went to school with a guy named Bill Dingman in Brecksville Ohio ,,,, and another guy I knew worked with Ron Hutter.. nice conversation guys
Miami Hollywood Speed Way Park when you near it you will hear it and the Sportium. Great Times!!
You got that right!
I L O V E PORTING HEADS!
First time watching news this was great stuff.
Thanks! More to come each week...
That would be AWESOME if they would make a ITB setup for the LS and Hemi that is reasonably priced!!
That would be great!
Great job guys!
Mike
Thanks!
100% Agree. Every rule that is put in to lower cost did the exact opposite.
I always thought that Keith learned from and worked for Joe Petelle of High Velocity Heads back in the day.
Internal combustion engines forever ! Fossil fuels are cool, too
Jason line big bad Buick ❤❤❤❤
That’s right!
I got my friend to get the plate "SOULESS" for his Tesla Plaid
LOL
If you had a 5.0 mustang it was Wilson or Victor jr under the hood
That's right. Speaking of Ford's, stay tuned for the next episode.
Keith is a wizard. And he is correct, there is a lot of power in the details. Lots of people are lazy, they want to bolt on 20 hp instead of 4 items that make 5 hp. Like converters, nobody wants to take a converter in and out, and there is et in the right converter.
Well said!
I don't mind swapping converters in the car, I LIKE the experimentation aspect of it, and learing from the results. I just DON'T like paying for all the expensive fuggers....
Provide a pile of converters to me, and I'll try ALL of them, and report back.. 🤷🏻
What is a seat of cfd?
That's a license for the Computational Fluid Dynamics software.
Be careful you could learn something from listening to this series of videos. l love to learn new things.
Thanks!
