There again, what's to stop GM or any others producing a killer head in cast iron, and peeing in everyone's post toasties?

Randy, I believe if NHRA created a class with a spec head, small block class, standard deck block, no short deck, 10.5 tire and lbs/CID with no break out rules, there would be many participants. Nevertheless, like always happens, someone would request a rule change and the class will go down the toilet.

Also, if NHRA approves the rule change for any aftermarket cast iron head, like said before, the class will be a Chevy engine class only. No aftermarket company will invest in creating a cast iron racing cylinder head for other makes in limited quantities when everybody prefers and easy to port and lightweight aluminum head.

The Pro Action heads were developed in Australia and then acquired by RHS. The cast iron LS-1 was only available two years in GM trucks and the aftermarket racing LS cast iron block is actually a GM truck production block.

All this said, this will force the Ford and Mopar products to race in the higher SS/Mod classes with aluminum heads, or race in the Super Modified class in Comp Eliminator.
