It's time for a change on that.

Wow, that sounds radical. I can't wait to hear what a 396 375 sounds like at 10000 RPM.
Since we are On that path, I think we should open up the valvetrain to Titanium valves and retainers. Don't forget clamshells on the camshaft.
This is just asking to get out eleminatior merged into superstock. I'm not interested 2k in new valvetrain parts just to keep up. NO THANKS. If you keep breaking stuff, spend money and do some spintron testing. Or buy a new car, and you get all that already.
