Good luck with your 350 project.

You might be just a little bit low on your estimation on what the heads/headwork cost for some like Fulton and Lil Jack.

When you are in Jack's position, moving to a bunch of new 7 second times vs Dick's position where (according to some) he has been in the 7s for a good long while now with other heads, except for the trash talking what is Lil Jack really gaining from the deal?
A lot of new experience in a 7 second vehicle.

In Fulton's case, having been there for a good while in the 7s, what is Fulton really gaining/proving by this deal? Makes you wonder sometimes.

Kind of like the Tom Nell/Herb Adams guys showing up (for one race) at Lime Rock and doing ok (until the Pontiac engine had issues) vs the Ford and Chevy Guys battling it out for the Trans Am Championship for many races with one of them naturally taking the crown.

Tom,
After 25000 posts you still do not understand why and how someone is stepping up their program! Very sad.

What does 25000 posts helping people (on the majority of them) have to do with a 'measuring contest' at Norwalk, Stan? Sounds like an attack because sadly you could not come up with anything better.

Haven't saw the boards lit up with mumbers though. I have a vid of my daily GTO too.

Glad the heads are working for you.

No numbers till Norwalk. I have some video of two foot red flames shooting out the pipes, but know they are just a short blue flame

If Fulton goes faster than he ever did with his eheads the point will be made in my opinion..

Agree, the POINT BEING that the sum of ALL of the changes brought the new result, not just a set of different aluminum castings.

Ever heard the engineering concept, make ONE change to compare the actual difference in performance. Looks like you made several.
