Undercover ported stock heads?

That's why I said 98%. I'm sure there are some combos that go one second under and have never even taken the head off.

No kidding! I don't know where that run came from. It's NEVER gone that fast. Must've been the good air that morning. Oh well, won't be going that far under again. That run bumped me right out of C/FS...

It could actually cost less to run the ported heads than might think.

Just say you want one of the sets of "bogus" or "special" heads for your motor. There are only a known amount "out there". I am sure the cost of locating and purchasing a set of those would far exceed the port job.

Now assume (I hate that word) you are still not allowed to port heads. There are only a set amount of the "good" heads out there and then there are only a few who have the best chance at the optimum performance. The person who does not have the "good" heads has less of a chance of winning and with no chance of even getting a set of the "good " heads and no chance of porting or competing with some other head, the question is why does he even bother racing.

This is just something to think about. I accuse no one.

Interesting responses, I suppose 'Cyclone" hit the nail on the head, why even bother to compete without getting the "undercover" ported heads. I guess i should join the pack this winter with my new B/SA car. Thanks for all the responses.
