You're leaving a significant amount of power on the table by not spending any money on the heads. I guess I don't understand what your goal is, since it seems to have changed from the original post.


5's is still the goal ....We weren't far off last year, and with a burnt head gasket and blown header tube, there should be some power left on the table. But yes, heads were what we originally wanted to do, but I think we will change it up more next year and with a procharger, we don't need super good heads.

Money was the other decision. New heads were outside the budget, and the porting quotes I got seemed pretty high to me. So we went with new pistons and head gaskets to get a little closer to max compression. We will be starting the season on 50/50 race fuel and getting everything dialed in from there.





But if you go to a 50/50 mix it won't be a pump gas combo anymore. All those years of insisting on being pump gas and you probably could have ran a 5 five years ago if you weren't so stubborn. LOL. But then again aren't we all Stubborn in our own ways. I know I am.


Well stubborn, and cheap at times....At least I got rid of the purple cam...
