You either ran a Hemi, a Max or a Six Pak car, not easy for the average racer to afford or put together, and the motor that was the most plentiful and cheap couldn't even be considered. Every dog has it's day and I guess ours has finally come. If these heads turn out to be worth more than 5 HP and I think they will, NHRA wont turn their heads like they did with the new cars, they'll slam us hard.

This should get interesting, any idea what the 60917 casting is going to cost Erik?

Paul, if you can't be deadly fast with factory heads after 35 hp has been taken off, you need to find something else to do.
