Default Re: Jones Head - Racers Only

I have no problem with the replacement heads as long as they don't give an unfair advantage. If the replacement head is a better head than the stock head it should carry a horsepower penalty. From what I have read this head has angle plug configuration. I don't know if that makes a big difference or not. Typically the angle plug heads are more of a performance head. Also some of the aftermarket heads have been talked about having larger ports than the factory head. Both of these items should have a horsepower penalty. I have a stock of the factory heads for my car so I don't see myself putting aftermarket head on my car any time soon. If I was to build an new set it would be from a set of aftermarket brand new castings not 50 year old factory castings. One good point is that there is still interest from the aftermarket to make heads so we can continue to race the older combo's. I have been racing my car for 40 years.
