I’m not lashing out at you personally but if engine builder x did the same thing wouldn’t you be wondering and speculating if your getting the same spark plug height, seat and guide location, material left in areas to work with the list of things could go on for days. I personally think this machining process should be left to the manufacturer. At this point there are 4 heads available to use that I’m aware of why do we need to keep adding more. Like I said before this is nothing against you personally it’s just my opinion and the opinion of many others. You know this will open the box for everyone to do the same thing and nhra won’t be able turn them away so it’s like opening up pandoras box’s. Jeff Dona

You have a valid point... I don't think i need to answer for my integrity, my customers and people who have worked with me know where i stand on rules and being thrown into a certain group of people. I have worked hard to get where i am and i have no intention of tarnishing my reputation and losing what i have.

To answer your question as to what i would do if another Cylinder Head/ Engine builder did this same thing would i question what i was getting. My honest answer is no. When i start a project i have a goal in mind and how ever i end up at that within the confines of our rule book is what i do. One of the biggest discussions i have with my customers is the "Do what the rest are doing" I have never been that way and i will never go down that road. When i choose a part to start with i know what it will take and what i can get from it. I think the guys we are racing with do the same things, thats what makes Super Stock what it is.
