You would think they would make more power, but I 've seen several examples where they didn't.
The reason for the change is that NHRA doesn't want cars breaking on their track, and slowing down the show.
We've seen stamped sheet metal rockers split in two , or punch out the push rod cups, with the springs they allow you to run now.
But the main point should be.. Everybody ...or nobody.
Garden variety Chevies didn't come with screw in studs and guide plates. If they can modify the heads, why can't everyone else?
Shafts where shafts were, studs and guides everywhere else.
End of story.
