Class of the Head

Ya know it seems pretty doggone easy to me for NHRA to take care of ported Stocker heads, but I imagine they don't want to spend the money. They could mandate that they're going to procure 10 sets of heads. Average out those ten sets and call it a day. Sure, the first thing you're going to say is logistically and $$$$ wise that could be quite an investment.

But I'm sure there's some guys out there with castings and our shared attitude that would be glad to donate some stock castings for inspection. I know I have plenty of Pontiac castings, I'd LOVE to see a level playing field again.

Same with allowing Edelbrock heads. GET RID of THEM. I didn't work on my cast iron heads for five years to overnight have NHRA making a bunch of 428 guys heros. Some who never had a nine second ET slip in their life were running 9.20's overnight. Nope. Make everyone work with the same equipment.

And we all know 400 Stocker Pontiacs struggled to crack the tens for YEARS, and again, overnight, they're running 10.20's or better.

C'mon NHRA ~ Take five or ten sets of factory heads and average out their port sizes. Put your foot down.
