More then run RAV or SD heads!

Bans and restrictions limit innovation . In a heads-up class, I think anything that will bolt to a Pontiac style block should be allowed. There are plenty of limited classes with all kinds of rules about what you can and can't run. Even if your not a fan of the Warp 6 or the guys that make them, show them the door on the race track in a heads-up format. Go get them!

"Cool so I can make my own double throwdown, superwamidyne billet head only for my self and run over the class."

Your welding skills and manifolds are works of art, so I would say yes. I don't know how the rules read now, but if the Kaufman's can run essentially "factory experimental" heads, than your own billet design should also be allowed. Only thing left to do is design, cut a set out, and test them. Heads-up means run what you got and hope you have enough. That's why we match race, it's always heads-up.

That's how innovation works. That's how KRE did it with the Warp 6.
No one stepped up, so they did it.

If you think you can do better, then do it, don't try and stifle the competition/innovation.

How is limiting availability of the head keeping it going?
