I'd have to agree with Chipper. Cylinder head and intake modifications have become more "liberal". Mainly because no one in authority knows what to look for anymore. Basically if the head looks "right" and is under the listed runner volumes then it's good.

You can spend lots of money on "state-of-the-art" heads and an intake. Depending on your cam and combo choice, I've found no difference between solid and hydraulic lifters and stock and roller rockers from a performance standpoint but that could be the combos that I'm using.

Wrong again Ed! I think that I answered his second question rather well! Unlike your first post which didn't answer any of the man's questions at all. It only told him how expensive it has gotten. Does anyone tell you how to spend your money?

you say I'm wrong because you don't have the coin to field a competitive stocker that can win a championship in stock eliminator today. Meanwhile the stock eliminator racers I'm friends with aren't happy just to show up and maybe win a round or two, No they show up chasing the championship with cars that are capable of winning a championship and they have the driving skills to do so.

That doesn't support his fragile ego! The "douchebag" comment is the REAL TRUTH.

Now we have a clear difference between you and me. Back when I did race I was nowhere near the fastest, but I did my own work, built my own engines, rebuilt my manual trans and setup my own rear ends. It looks look you and yours friends just write checks. To each there own. But that is not what racing is for me.

No, I said you're wrong because you're wrong. And this^^^^^^ has nothing to do with the questions asked.

But since you've brought up the subjects, I don't ever remember discussing my financial means with you. I'm comfortable enough to do whatever I would want to do and I don't have an EGO that big.

I've said on many threads before, "I'm not going to spend $100,000 to make $2,000. THAT isn't very good financial advice, not that I asked you for any.

Now, as far as the "stock eliminator racers you're friends with", instead of putting words in their mouths why don't you ask them to give me a call or post on here (they're all members here) and let THEM tell me what they would think of my chances of winning a championship if I decided to do so. Unlike you, they know what I'm capable of if I decide to do something. I'm pretty sure that I still can figure out how to put together a competitive Camaro of Nova, I've got a few. But you see, I'd have to BUILD it myself so that when I win in it I can claim ALL of the accolades. Not like you!

Billy, when was the last time you won a Divisional in Stock Eliminator?

When was the last time you won the Division championship in Stock Eliminator?

When was the last time you won a National Event in Stock Eliminator?

That said, you get no more points, no more $, no bigger Wally for "building" your car if/when you win a race then the guy that paid someone like Tom Goldman who liked your reply, to build their car or the guy that bought a brand new DragPak, Cobra Jet or COPO.

2004 or 5 I won a couple
1993
1994

What does this^^^^^^ have to do with anything? I'll ask YOU the same questions, YOU not your son.

Face it Ed, YOU'VE never won anything in your life. You're nothing but talk. And entertainment. I guess Kenny likes that.
