(hope I spelled yep right)

It's kind of pointless to complain about the "pros" since there's maybe only 2 left? Fletcher and Rampy? You should start a new thread about it if you want. It usually comes up this time of year anyway....every year.....

It was OK to stack that deck with your heroes. If that was the case (and a hugh majority seemed to think it as acceptable), then stacking the deck with low HP engines shouldn't be an issue.
In both instances, NHRA has allowed one side an unfair advantage and as a result, you are loosing money.

Spelling is a hugh deal on this site.

My My, I leave yall alone for a couple days, and yall go crazy. Breathe deep into your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth. Do the Yoga 'ahmmmmm, ahmmmm, ahmmmm. There, now much better. Yall is the proper spelling for yall. I think I will just work on my stuff, and on Feb 15 or so, I will go to Florida. I plan on being in good spirits.
Sheep, Sheep Dogs, Foreign Language, bogus HP and all other things that make your blood pressure rise will be gone. I'm gettin about 8 hp for Christmas if yall want to celebrate. But I'm also gettin some nice presents from my 13 Grandchildren, and a nice cuddly smile from my 11 month old Grandaughter Annabelle with her bright red hair and big blue eyes. Ahmmmmmm, Ahmmmmmmm, Ahmmmmmm. Better huh?

This head is the part number listed in the engine blueprint guide

it talks about CNC porting at the bottom, so the accepted head is the non-CNC'd version?

Correct Andrew, when the engine was submitted to NHRA it did list the cnc head, but NHRA said no.The 352 and 428 along with the new 363 and 427 all use the non cnc heads.

There's something screwy in this head deal because Roush says the heads have runner volumes of 204 and 85 as cast and the spec in the engine blueprint section says 230 and 91. Wonder where those extra cc's came from?
