[PONTIAC'S REVENGE]

Yes,
I think thats the step but then you cross the line on how to shape it and where would u hit water and how it would have to be welded. They deemed it too much of an advantage to play with the shape.

When you have a 9.5 to 1 engine I dont think it matters that much anyway. There are way more LIBERAL scenario's out there than that but I think there point is once you do it for one then you set a precedent for them all. I think a lot of these are mistakes like the 400 sbc head for years.

The officials are professionally careful in my opinion, so change come very slowly. We may get consideration as the aftermarket wave progresses. Just the diverse opinions of this thread are an example of what these guys go through with letters and phonecalls everyday.

We do need to keep the old combos affordable and competitive. It seems to be increasingly difficult to expect the factory's to maintain this. The aftermarket playing field will take over...but gradually. Not as a advantage medium but a survival one.

Headn to Vegas!!
