Both are high compression heads which should raise your horsepower. But only one can be used per engine! :lol:

Norm, I figured someone would say 'only one per motor', but these two heads and my other two heads (a Zajicek and a Prus) will go on FOUR different motors that I have. NOW, if I only had a Haibe head, I'd have a 'trifecta'.

Good score Terry, I ran a Giant Power Head on a ‘23 touring that I sold. It greatly increased performance. Same as the Waukasha Ricardo presently on my ‘19 sedan. Congrats !!

Dan, can you translate what was being stated in the two last paragraphs? To me, it looks like he was trying to blind them with science.

Here is link to the patent so you can read the details, and use the patent drawing item numbers to understand the claims.

But generally the claim is the secondary channel or flame path to the thinned cylinder inside combustion chamber.
