Justin started this post for an open discussion for the topic of this cylinder head, I have done my best to stay professional thru this. To answer your question if i am doing an engine for Dominic the answer is yes. I gave him the same answer i gave you when you asked me to do an engine for you guys after Indy...."I'm a year and a half out" the only difference is Dominic said yes.

In my opinion the only reason you are against this being approved is because i am taking the advantage away that you think you have. Remember i stood right next to you in the barn at Indy with your cylinder head in your hand... I have been looking at cylinder heads for a long time and i know what i am looking at. NHRA can only police what is written down and what they can measure and we both know that. Now there is a casting that everyone can buy to start on a level playing field.

Tilburg,

Yesterday your comments showed that you didn't understand the way a cylinder was made and today you are talking about casting boxes.... The only thing i can say on that is if you think spark plug location and water jacket on an aluminum aftermarket head that has to end up 172 ccs makes a difference in how it runs then you are working in the wrong area.

I've done my best to answer legitimate questions without beating around the bush, this is a serious topic about someone who is trying to make your lives easier if you don't wan't that then that's fine with me. I have already contacted NHRA about changing the plug location and or removing the heads from the list. In the end my customers still get the best that i can do at that time regardless of what i start with. Judging from the 30 phone calls i received yesterday your implications are acknowledged, so let the cards fall where the may gentleman.
