Well, this year is almost in the books, got one more race this weekend, but my bracket car is out for the season....And as usual, we went thru some parts, figured some stuff out, and just wished it had all come together at least at one of the races this year.

I really thought last weekend was it. The car was running awesome. The driver was dead on the tree, and it was looking promising in record good air. But it was not to be. Seems I got bit by everything at least once this year. From tow vehicle issues to you name it. Last week,the no oil pressure light came on just as I hit the return road on a good pass. Checked a couple things, and it looks like I didn't hurt anything, but the engine has to come out for a mild freshen up.

So with that said, I was really hoping for 6.0's or better this year out of our new 400/512...We are just under 11:1 and have EZ1 heads and a .680 roller cam. A Thumper 1050 dominator, and basically just a port match on everything...Its a nothing fancy bracket engine, but we had opted for the light weight crank option. Figured 6lbs off the rotating assembly should have been worth somthing...

What would you guys change? Go with better heads, or send these out?
