Rick, it ain't the fact you can't compete in SS\CS. It's the fact that the heads you have are basically 50 horse shy, and you would have to spend, in my opinion, about $8 to $10,000 to catch up. That's the part I thought would be attractive. Now, a lot of people say the comp guys would just come over and destroy the class. Unless they cheat, which I doubt they would do, they really won't have too much of a leg up on us. I do know they know chassis, short blocks, etc. better then some, but there is only so much power in a short block, and if that beats you, you're real close to winning. As far as the car, and trans, I see the excitement of older cars, and sticks, and how attractive they are, but I think we need to include others just to have a show. That being said, I know there is a slight advantage to newer cars, but that could be addressed. Eventually, with no break out in effect, the autos will probably go by the wayside. I'm just waiting for the word to finish my 67 nova. I already have a guy lined up to plum and wire it. Al Parker said he would go through the chassis, and brakes for me, and start on the short block of my choice, once there are rules. I have a guy already lined up to paint it. That being said, if it never goes, I still have all the bells, and whistles to put it on the street with one of my spec engines.

Nice part of the current Spec Head discussion is it gives ALL brands a fairly level field on heads. Short Blocks are the same. Then its minor tweaks like new versus old Body shape etc but ...Stick /Auto . 50 lb break either way would be a fair start...

Works for me Dick. Like I've stated to those who say it will never work. NEVER have we been given the chance to run any of three brands, with almost exactly the same potential. This has NEVER happened, even in Pro Stock. Just think. you would NEVER have to update you're cylinder heads. NEVER!
