Total Engine Airflow is proud to announce a head for Pro racers.
Working with the Brodix Neal BF 202 we have come up with 3 intake port designs,
2 exhaust port designs and 2 combustion chambers.
We have a 280cc port designed by Paul Klyzcek that flows in the 380
CFM range with a 2.125 valve, perfect for normally aspirated and small
power adder applications.
We have a 295cc port designed by TEA machinist Mark Warrick. It
flows in the 400 CFM range and is a good head for a lot of different
applications.
We have a 310cc port designed by TEA airflow development team member
As of this writing we do not have cc data on exhaust ports but the flows range
from 280 - 320 CFM. As well as a small chamber and a larger chamber.

veered in front of Rimmer's. More information can be found at many websites,
