Herb.....Ive been around this stuff almost as long as you are old. I NEVER ratted out anyone and never will. Ive fought long and hard years ago (about 10) about this horse s**t to no end with Len Imbrigno, Bob Lang of NHRA and IHRA people but its like talking to a stone wall. When they take the volumes from heads that have already been ported its a friggin' JOKE like most were done in S/S. . Ive also done cylinder heads for racers since 1969 and have seen it all from 22 years of tech inspection. All they need to do is use a CORRECT volume with a + tolerance from a VIRGIN head and let it go. Dont set up a spec. from one of these cars that runs 1.4O under just because the car is owned by a super star. This crap of hiding what goes on will never change until they get the rules written to where the cost of these heads and intake manifolds can become a little less expensive. When the inspectors cannot DQ a part because the way a rule is written it needs to be changed. Just my opinion and we all know what amounts to. ZIP !
