I agree that at the top of the heap the heads are niether wedge nor hemi. Heck the only competitive and regularly winning Mopar I can think of is the Wedge -1 headed deal of Andy Mayes. He has now switched to a B1, I imagine if they thought they could win and make more power with a Hemi they would do it.

In the ned there is not right answer to this question i am sure. It is one of those winter debates that goes on around here every year. We get off the wall statements from key board racers, opinions from those who have used both, opinions from professional engine builders and the question always goes unanswered. People prefer the engine type they prefer. I can only go on what I have tried. In the past two years I have ran two Hemis and two wedges and have formed my opinion. The weight of a Hemi piston and the cost of the valvetrain are enough to keep me in wedges for a good long time. FWIW there was more money in the 900hp Hemi I had than the 1041hp Wedge I now have.
