I guess I am not getting the point. When did building a fast engine EVER involve recouping your investment? (forget about the time/labor factor).

Let me fix that quote for you. "John M, Gaby, and Mike L have ALL stated that they could have made serious power IF they had been allowed to change things in the Head and I believe them." John M DID change stuff on MJM421's heads and the car is a very nice street/track performer.

Nope....ya ain't gonna hear those stories from the average guy. you'll only hear such stories from dedicated people with a lot of disposable income or the ability to do much of the work themselves OR the ability to horsetrade said services to their advantage.
The cow is already out of the barn on that deal. Some People had a chance to use that capability (John M, Gaby, Mike L) and did not take the offer. It is what it is.

All of this banter does not answer the most basic question?

WHERE ARE THE 1000 HP+ ENGINES USING THESE PARTS?

ps I agree with Brian H, have the boys post up that 174 mph slip while you are at it.
