John,
Are the inconel valves hollow? or sodium filled? They are probably Inconel 625 which at 1000 deg F is stronger than chrome moly at room temp!! Great stuff.

  Hi Rex...Troy was referring to how heavy they are and no their solid , not filled with anything, but I've got an old WW2 Radial cyl head that does and its a hemi also.
 From what I understand inconel was developed for these old WW2 engines.

I thought the price of the inconel valves would be close to the titanium, man was I wrong.  Titanium are much more pricey. :evil:

  Water injection system ordered from Alcohol Injection Systems and on the way shortly. 2 -250PSI pumps to maintain atomization 1 big jet before supercharger and 4 small ones after intercooler. 3 gallon tank which we hope to fit above the wheel tubs and behind driver seat.

Take a before and after picture of the impeller vanes. Sounds interesting . . .I would like to see what they look like.

  If your talking about erosion of the supercharger impeller vanes they say its not a problem on belt driven centrifugals as the speed is slower than turbos and i've never had a problem in the past even though we didn't mist the injection as much as these newer styles.
 We didn't talk to much about turbos but he did about injecting water between stages of diesel  pullers, which the tractor pullers have been doing for over 20 years that I know of.
 One reason I went with this company is they recommend imjecting before the supercharger which removes a lot of temperature were as other companys recomend after the intercooler.

Good point about the rpm difference, JL.  I am assuming about 50% less. (120K rpm  vs. 60k rpm) give or take a few rpm. Like I said this is interesting. Are you going to EM in May?

Looks like it will dry up enough here to get the block BB honed and cleaned up outside.  Then work on assembly inside.  Would be great to get the block assemble on sat.  :cheers:
