Calculate Intake valve OD from RPM and CID |
Calculate What Intake valve OD Would Be From RPM and CID.
VALVE / BORE Ratio The valve to bore ratio should be: 52-52.5% of the bore for Wedge heads. 53-53.5% for Canted valve, rotated canted valve (Mopar P/S hemi) and true Hemi. If you decrease intake exhaust ratio down to 70-71% you can move both intake and exhaust valves over to the exhaust side and increase intake valve size by .5-1%. Anytime you increase valve size over the above stated Valve/Bore ratio you will see a small gain in CFM but the discharge coefficient drops and takes your power with it. An over shrouded valve instills a host of nasty scenario's, the two worst being decreased discharge coefficient and increased reversion below and above intake tuned power band.
