Re: Claim of 25% HP bump true?
If you think of the engine as half of a 400 cubic " V8 it's easy to see how under carburetor the engine actually is!

Does anyone know the difference in the Burtz 6.5 HP vs Snyder's 6.1HP? |

Re: Claim of 25% HP bump true?
From my experience there is a little boost going from the Snyder's 5.5 to the Burtz 6.5. In my opinion, the Snyder's 6.1 head has a better combustion chamber design than the Snyder's 5.5 or the Burtz 6.5 so it might be better than either of those, but I don't have any data to back that up.

Synder’s 6.1 head is 6.0 compression ( in their catalog 6:1) and their 5.5:1 if anyone cares

Re: Claim of 25% HP bump true?
years ago I bought a 5.5 head from Snyder's only to find it was approx. 1/8"-3/16" too short in front and rear. I'm just wondering if this still exists? Of course they refunded my money and paid for shipping both ways!

Re: Claim of 25% HP bump true?
Either a Stromberg 81 or 97 or the Weber that is commonly used today. I once ran the Auburn hill climb in my '30 tudor. I had run it first with a stock B engine with stock A carb. A few months later I changed to a Winfield 6:1 head, the time was a full second quicker up the hill. That same day I switched to a Stromberg 81, times were almost another second quicker. The next time I ran that hill I had changed to a 97 carb, times were 3/10s of a second quicker. I love to experiment like that. That car got really quick when I installed my 4-port Riley in it!
