X-Tech is just letting us know some of the hang-ups we would encounter, and I'm sure we would. Top stock was a great idea, that got hijacked. To Billy, I don't know how a couple of racers would dominate, if a racers board made ALL the calls, along with Brodix for help. There is just so much HP in a short block. Dick, I now see what you mean, but NHRA would NOT let us run in SS. To Mike, that's why we allowed ANY internal mods to the intake manifold. THAT'S where they, the innovators can play. WAY LESS EXPENSIVE THEN THE HEADS. Control the heads, you control the performance. You could spend a million dollars on the intake, and maybe gain a slight advantage, but a guy with a good brain, could take a well designed intake, have a competent guy port it, pick the right cam, and carb, and compete. It still has to go down into a limited head. I think Mike and I think a lot alike, but we may be wrong. Did anyone go to youtube and watch the black nova against us, or the white nova against us? That race in the dark was Big Shoot-out night, and we won by .0002. We spotted him a tenth, he was at 11.5 lbs, we were at 11. LOOK at the stands, but remember, the stands were only on the side they are filming from.
