I don't think anyone doubts they will work fine, they just won't be within reach of most people money wise to really matter on the Pontiac scene.

I'm sure Jack will put down a great number, I just hope he also lays down the price number so he doesn't mislead the dreamers who think they can buy these heads and build an engine around them.

The cost of these heads and subsequent cost to finish such a build is the main deal breaker of ever being relevant to the Pontic masses

The Pontiac masses don't race, they sit in a show car field bragging about many factory options they have on their car. And there is nothing wrong with that, I am just saying.

The cost of these heads are cheap compared to the cost of building a car capable enough and safe enough to handle the power to be made. You guys talk about high horsepower heads and engines when 90% of the people out there don't have a car that can handle that amount of power. Even a 9 second car would need over 20K put into it in upgrades to be able to use ANY high horsepower head on the market.

X 2
I have seen Pontiac car show guys spend more then a race engine cost on the exterior and chassis and nobody smack talks about them?????????

If money spend is a persons problem about the money one wants to spend to go fast, then I guess one should stay home and watch ESPN..
