You would think that in these cold winter months there would be some “down time” at Kauffman Racing Equipment…. Well that is just not so! Mark and Jeff Kauffman have been hard at work machining and installing a pair of their new Super Wedge heads on a test engine so that they could get some initial numbers on the new heads.
So what kind of numbers did they get?
The single 4bbl combo 1150 cfm Dominator made 926.8 horsepower at 6900 rpm and peak torque was 777.4 at 5300 rpm
The dual 4 combo (KRE dual 4 intake with two 1050 dominators) made 937.8 horsepower at 7000 rpm and peak torque was 785.9 at 5800 rpm
Not too shabby for the first Super Wedge combo ever! The Kauffman’s expect a fully ported set of Super Wedges to flow in the 475 range. Time will tell as these heads have already been ripped off this engine and thrown into one of KRE’s CNC machine. Can’t wait for round 2 of testing – Fully Ported Super Wedges!
