Anyone playing with or using the new Pond High Riser head yet ?

[e philpott]

    Would like to hear thoughts , expected HP numbers and flow numbers about the new High Rise head from Pond . I have seen pictures on FB and know someone that purchased a set but haven't heard any flow bench numbers or heard of any options on them . I do like the looks of the twisted chamber design ( in the pictures I've seen ) for being severely limited in creativity with a NHRA legal head it's clever and do know it requires the matching intake manifold for the raised floor ( raised a 1/2 inch maybe not sure ?)

Thanks , Eric

Well I can’t post them, they are the wrong format I guess.

Have you tried to convert the picture to another format.:

I can't post pictures either but some floating around on facebook , I have talked to Blair since and he said they are designed for Stock eleminator and it's easy to get 350 cfm at 600 ish lift

Sure wish they would have incorporated a modern combustion chamber instead of the 427, but that would probably not allowed them to be used in Stock Class racing as a replacement head.  Joe-JDC

They NEED a modern chamber, I am hoping they start putting a modern chamber in them, if they would do that I would find a way to get a set, even though I don’t have an engine for them. A HR FE is one of my bucket list things.

If you want to get a group buyin and prepay for the heads with a modern combustion chamber, that's probably the only way it's going to happen. These heads cost a pile of pennies to make already.

I doubt Pond would be interested. He's a racer, and his stuff is aimed at the NHRA Stock racing crowd. There's no money to be made in producing such a low demand part, but it serves his purpose well, and will help keep the FE in the winners circle.

That’s not a bad idea. Might have to try to put something together. At the moment though, my fun money is earmarked for jays top end kit, and I just spent some of that on a crank. If the economy picks back up and my job is still around after all this I might be in a position to get a set next year.

^^^^ Someone who sees the bigger picture and understands it. He makes the parts he wants to use and racing is what he's is into. To spend the money on altering the head and do a run in the hopes that people will actually follow through with buying them isn't a wise risk.
