Puhleeze. Check out a set of 245RP's. lol
I have checked out the indy heads, I do every year at the nats, thats the only place I have ever seen a set, at their display tent. I would like to know how many sets they really have sold??? I go to quite a few different tracks and have never seen or heard of anyone in this part of the country ever running a set, I'm sure there are guys out there that do, and I would love to see them on a car, let alone a hard running car, but like my first post, it is hard for most guys justify the added expense of rockers, intake, machine work, etc, etc, etc, to go have fun at their local track. Even the highly touted edelbrock heads take special machine work and porting to make them run half decent. Special intake rockers, pushrod tubes, oiling mods, etc, etc, etc...
When I first got my W5's there wasn't anyone around here running them either. In fact I've only ever seen 3 other cars with them in the southeast. Granted I don't get around a lot but still just the lack of known usage doesn't mean anything. Let's face it there just aren't a lot of people drag racing a SBM anywhere when you compare it to a SBC, BBC , SBF, or even a BBM.
I love my W5's and wouldn't mind having another set but there are other options and if I build another engine it will be a 48* block anyway so there are other options.
