Tech Reviews
In this edition of Road to Horsepower, we put the Predator 212's Hemi and Non-Hemi heads to the test on a 223cc stroker build. With identical bottom ends and a high-lift cam, we swapped the ported Hemi head for the Wildcat WC946-3 Non-Hemi head to see which flows better, revs cleaner, and makes more usable power. The results show more than just peak gains—valve float, torque curve, and RPM stability all play a role. Dive into the dyno data, component breakdown, and deep technical analysis of why non-hemi heads dominate high-performance small engine builds.
