Kaama, Yeah we are way off the subject, but to answer your question, I was running a cam from Reed Cams, duration at .050 tappet height is 217degrees intake and 221 degrees exhaust. lift is .510 intake, .522 exhaust, 112degrees lobe centers.
This is a pretty tame setup, but it kicked up a 330HP 454 to around 422 HP on the dyno with shop headers. In the boat I am running the EMI Thunders with cast risers, and I'm really starting to wonder about the effeciency of these risers. Like I said before, I am running different heads now, cam, and intake than what I was wiith this set up. Like a big dummy, I made all the changes at once over the winter, so I can't really say how each individual change effected the engine.

Yes I am happy with them. They are louder due to the water coming in later. They are nearly dry loud. Yes, I think there are still KEs to be found. I am wondering if the outfit with the molds plan to produce more. Bob?

Hey Roby, I'll set you up with a set of Lightning stainless headers. They're a whole lot less than SMI's and CMI's and work great. I put them on mine this year and I can't say enough about them.

Yes we will be producing the KE Headers once again. We don't have them up on the web site yet (maybe by next week). The price for a NEW set with tailpipes. gaskets, bolts, stainless fittings, etc. will be $3395.00 which is about $300.00 less than they were advertised for not to long ago. If you have any questions you can email [email protected]
