Thanks for that info ! I reckin I just assumed that most of these long time class racers already knew all the tricks & had experimented with enuff different combination of parts to know what would run the quickest in their particular engine.
Just to add a for instance. Valve profiles. Every manufacturer is a little different and some offer custom stuff. Some guy may have been through 25 intakes and 20 exhausts to find the best flowing one for that particular head. It’s something that may be noticable with the head apart. He’s going to want to protect his investment of time and money.
