KDM Port/Polished Heads done by ??
http://www.centroidcnc.com/cnc_porting.html
Show me another company that does our heads like this?
Now you know why they look like they do. The best costs the most. A garage job is just that, a garage job.

Besides the machine above doing the port and polish?
So you have Titanium Spring Retainers?
You have cut the guides down for what real High Lift cam? There are NONE available to you except mine
119 lb springs
Throat area opened up or just the seat cut out all the way to install a 1mm O/S Valve
Manual rockers
911 Porsche elephant feet?
New rocker shafts?
How about O-ringed?

If you have ever machined your own cylinderhead or resourced parts..
then compare your work or even someone else's to one of these cylinderheads...you'll see where the money was well spent.
Kelly also has original design camshafts that accompany this handy work.
Do you know or have you seen 4 cylinder circle track engines..?
If you do, you know years of advanced physics have gone into the design.
Years of trial and error allot of things that can not be taught,
but only learned by competent machinist and builders..
I was sold the first time a completed KDM cylinderhead was unveiled to me.. then I confirmed my suspicions with chris viper's TBI White 87 which is now owned by Papermaker.
Kelly has a camshaft for the MPI intake manifolds as well.
that camshaft was proven by Quest_tsi.

Thanks

That is an obvious question, yes but can be street driven.
What type lifter are you using??
Do you have an MPI setup ???
never mind (in signature)

Those pics look great. Yea due to the cam and air flow, my car is still pulling at 7000rpm. Wouldn't believe the torque and speed unless you rode with me.
