When buying GM parts they generally are cheaper BECAUSE they have more choices and the parts guys will drop price to sell. Why would the parts guys cut price with the few mopar heads, buy or go away. We pay more (make up their losses). If you want 800 hp stock block is ok with a good tune, want 3000 or more hp get a dang funny car engine or those Street outlaw engine $$$. Unless you’re running some pro class it’s an ego trip to see the big number on the board.
Got a friend that runs ‘top sportsman’ has at least 100 grand in car and 50 in the engine to run 3.99, he said it cost 15 hundred each race to maybe win 2 grand. No ordinary Joe can afford that so we just need an affordable head with good flow potential and no exotic parts.
