CFE 18 DEGREE SPREAD-PORT
4.840 BORE SPACED | BBC | SPREAD-PORT
Standard 18-degree Spread-port programs are available in both rectangular and oval port configurations depending on engine requirements. CFE 18-degree Spread-port programs are custom-engineered for both engine application and manifold requirements.
The 18-degree Spread-port head is recommended specifically for nitrous oxide applications as it promotes efficient atomization of the air-fuel mixture thus broadening the tuning window of the engine by making it less prone to detonation. Also, the larger combustion chamber typical of the 18-degree Spread-port head makes it desirable for applications that require less compression ratio such as turbocharged and blown engines.
Popular Applications Include: Successfully used in Top Sportsman, Top Dragster, heads-up street car racing, bracket racing, off-shore marine, blown alcohol, drag boats, tractor pulling, mud racing, and turbo-charged applications.
