NHRA Expertise: The valvetrain secrets of a nitro-burning Hemi
The Hemi engines drag racers know and love get their name from the hemispherical (half of a sphere) combustion chamber that positions their valves 180 degrees from one another. Those monstrous valves are held in place by titanium retainers and steel keepers.
For Nitro Funny Car engines:
Only one cylinder-head design is acceptable: Intake valve angle of 35 degrees, + or - 1 degree Intake valve size maximum: 2.470 inches Exhaust valve angle of 21 degrees, + or - 1 degree Combined intake and exhaust valve size maximum: 4.395 Inches
