That is who I would be blaming, not MOPAR. Who takes an OEM engine and just runs it? Do that and you deserve what you get. Ever hear of production tolerances? The "engine builder" had to have access to NHRA's specs. Why was everything not measured?

Now that was an unexpected response ED

You could hardly call these OEM motors - they are complete "race ready" spec motors from Arrow Racing and two of them had been through NHRA tear down before and passed

I know Arrow built these as good as any engine builder out there - they just did not know MOPAR made a mistake - they used the valve which was identifed to go in the heads - stock size for a Gen IV viper engine - The TI sheet was submitted to NHRA after the engine building started - the valves used were appearently incorrectly measured by MOPAR engineering - used a blue print to figure out how to do it - LMFAO
