He said he has other ways of dealing with the more powerful/faster car, ok cool. I’m glad he is stepping up to a better head, he should have done it for Indy! I’ll still say 520+ cubes and a pair of turbos are the way to go.....you can never have too much power! You know there is nothing wrong with giving an opinion (right or wrong) as long as it doesn’t harm someone!!

Im just amazed at how you wont just drop something after finding out you were wrong about it.. Its that part of your opinion that becomes painful to keep reading about..

520 cubes with 2 big turbos is overkill for street racing . So you have 1 engine making 3000hp and the other making 4000hp but both can only put 2500hp to the pavement . Whats the difference? 1 guys got 500hp more in reserve the others got 1500hp . So for the street 500hp over the cliff is alot as even for the track for that matter ! Some race cars dont even have that big of a shot of NOS on there car! The only place that kind of power is good for is on a preped track.. And im talking about getting down the street reliably / consistently. Not I did it once back in the 90's!

And as for his new heads being the better choice? Well that remains to be seen. Lets not get too presumptuous here ... We will just have to wait and see....
