[FireSale]

Your engine builder wants to eat your wallet. A set of titanium valves from Manley or Ferrea will run $2000. The weight reduction might let the rich kids rev higher but would thin the field by raising the perceived cost to get in the game. For SS you need one piece stainless steel and nothing more.

Outside of class at the National races, SS is a dial in game. You don't need $$$$ valves to nail your dial. Imagine dumping all that cash into a motor and loosing to an aircraft mechanic who buys used parts from Jimmy DeFrank.

Good luck finding people who want to petition NHRA to legalize titanium in SS.

I built my engine. I'm on version 3 and might have it right now. I wouldn't do it any other way.
