Horsepower is all about port volume.

Our success in producing real horsepower has come through our practical understanding of the fact that horsepower generation is all about port volume. We discovered early on in the game that the port volume essential for power generation can not be acheived with the industry’s shortest valves, the Chrysler intake and exhaust valves. Realizing that we needed a longer valve, we designed the ports in our 440 cylinder heads around a 1/2 “ longer valve. This allowed us to raise the port roof significantly. The modification created the extra port volume required to acheive the desired end result... more horsepower, and lots of it!
