Those old dinousor E heads are hard to beat for the money.

The only bad part I found was when you start spraying them 400-500 worth of nitrous you have to put head gaskets on them about 20-25 passes.

That was mentioned years ago but denied by a few people, must not have liked the messengers.

I don't think Ed McGuinn changes his every 20-25. I'll ask him tomorrow were racing at Quaker City in Pa.

All I know is that after half a year and 20 pages if this race doesn't come off there will be a lot of disappointed people.

This has been like waiting for the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, and Peter Pan all rolled into one!

I like that car.

Well over 100 passes on the last set. Changed them late last fall along with a very light head cleanup. No issues since. Straight surfaces, Cometics and spot on tune is the key.

Bingo... obviously you keep a comfortable distance from the egde of detonation/pre-ignition. Obviously more to it than just tune when it comes to the mechanics of it, but tune is a huge factor.
I'll add its not just gaskets you hurt, that tune can save or hurt things below the pistons.
Certainly not an E-head only issue.

Just talked with Ed, 400 shot with no head gasket issues last year.
