How many of you understand what really goes into a very well developed set of heads? I don't mean the run of the mill good set of heads, I mean the best of the best. It would be NOTHING to have 200 hours in a killer set of heads, in many cases welding is required, on and off the flow bench many many times per port X 16, then theres getting the right castings to start with, it goes on and on. And don't kid yourself flow through the intake tract is every thing on a stocker. What your time worth? As a side note, theres no old school small block Chevy head that responds (flows) like certain castings of the 441 used on that 255 HP combo, head porters know exactly what I'am talking about!

"in many cases welding is required, "

Silly me. I didn't know that that was legal. Why don't we just throw all the rules away?

OR just run it like the NMCA's Nostalgic muscle car class or the NSS classes with 1/4 second breaks( from 9.50 down to 15.00 same as the NMCA) and anything goes ! Dave Duell loves the NSS classes with his 1964 HEMI station wagon ! Pick your dial in on Saturday but you can not run under it at all. Not even .001 and NO throttle stops allowed1. No fuel checks, no weight checks, no tear downs, any cubic inches allowed, but they need to get the damn hood scoope rules straightened out. most are UGLY as poop looking and wrong for the car they are on. No two steps, no wheelie bars, no electronics of any kind except high RPM shut offs. ALL run fields. NMCA has a 1985 or older cut off but NHRA could allow their computerized fool injected garbage if they could figure out how to keep the guys from cheating with computer controlled dial ins.....LOL. Then again maybe NOT ! Put them in their own category ! There I just solved the cheating problem and it didn't cost NHRA a penny and you can still use your new cheated on stocker engines ! Just use them until they blow up and then start fresh with a cheaper combo to save more money..................LOL.

Just carry extra weight or take some out to run dead on your number. No weight checks required and no grade points required either. Pay at the gate.
