Harley Power, Edelbrock Style
|
As with any high-performance motor setup, the cylinder heads are the heart (or the lungs, in this case) of the powerplant. The volume of air the motor can get in and out dictates how much power can be made. But, the speed of the incoming air is just as important. High-velocity airflow through the ports in the heads leads to better acceleration, improved midrange, and great throttle response. These Edelbrock CNC-ported aluminum heads, which come in black, gray, polished, or natural finish, have NASCAR-racing-inspired rectangular-shaped intake ports and 'D'-shaped exhaust ports. The purpose of the rectangular port is to create a smooth, laminar flow for the incoming air/fuel mixture, leading to a more evenly atomized mixture. The intake manifold has matching rectangular ports to maximize airflow. The interior of the heads uses a compact, diagonal quench combustion chamber which provides better squish and increased chamber turbulence, leading to highly efficient combustion, while preventing motor-killing detonation/pinging. All of this together yields a motor that produces a flat torque curve from idle all the way to redline. The best part as a rider is you can actually feel the technology -- power where you want it, when you want it. View Related Article
