Well, not the way I meant it. I meant it in a way, that he should prove that they are hands down a better head. Go kick some butt.
He shown that he could out run his 400cfm E heads with the same cam as with his standard wide ports. Did not give them a fair shot IMO.
Ran faster, know of mid 7.60 pass and maybe a 7.56. But he ran a 7.71 with E heads. Who is to say that if he had given the new 400cfm WPs a real effort, new cam and trying to maximize the combo he could not have gotten the tenth-tenth and a half gain from the CVs ? Not a lot of gain for all the money it "should" have cost him. Bet they were a freebee.
E heads are a great head for the vast majority of racers. Can make 1100HP + without huge effort. Racers don't have a hard time keeping plugs in them, or worse. Great engines hit the same every hole.
A few have stepped up to some of the billet heads. Make more power, sure. But not "that" much more really. 100HP-250HP for multiple "tens" of thousands of dollars more.
Hey, if you can afford it that is awesome. Great to be you.
But the money I am hearing for the top ends, is just nuts, bonkers crazy for what your get back for almost everyone but a few.
But George, myself being a NA guy people are starting to go your direction. Put a blower, centrifugal or turbo on it. Cheaper in the long run.
