They are modeled after the D3VE intake port, in fact they are a direct copy of a D3VE intake port, but with less room to grow than the factory iron D3VE. Even a CJ port match (which refers to a gasket match at the port entry only and not the entire intake port architecture) can be more effectively executed on the factory iron heads than the ProComp head (unless you do a ridiculous amount of welding on the outside of the intake ports of the Procomp Heads). The combustion chamber shape is modeled after the D3VE's 95 cc chamber, not the CJ's superiorly shaped 72cc chamber.Will do the post on Monday. The Dyno shop is closed today for a funneral so I will have them send it Monday. I will post the cam numbers tonight when I get home. It was a custom grind and I have the cam card at home. Thanks for your advise and knowledge. Sounds like i should have talked to you prior to starting my bulid not after the fact oh well lesson learned Rookie mistake. I will get the most out of these that i can can go from there. Might run them on this motor for a season then put them on the stock motor next winter and get better ones for the 514
Whomever is suggesting that the ProComp head is based on an SCJ head is grossly in error. I see this all the time with non-Ford enthusiasts that are instantly wowed by the big intake ports of these passenger car engines and immediatey assume "it must be a Cobra Jet!"
But these are the head you are running and you want more power. Please post a dyno sheet and the camshaft part number.
