Class of the Head

[jamie2370]

If the head ports CC correct and the chamber CC correct and they look "as cast" there is no policing they can do. Reshaping, welding, and coverup work of bowls and runners, shaving intake side of head to bring CC's down when runners are enlarged, cutting bottom of heads to bring bowl back to specs after you unshrouded the valves and covered it up.....Am I getting close? lol oh and of course the intake has no measurements in the book so "as cast" is good enough even if it's bigger than a sheetmetal intake lol. When one car can run to 6800 at the shift and the other falls over at 6200, same casting numbers, same cam and valvetrain, same trans/converter, same rear gear etc etc.....someone if moving more air thru there air pump(engine) Anyone that says this is not being done is lying to their self. Round trackers been doing it for decades. The question is ??? if you can't beat them, join them??

Yup..Lots of places to hide if you don't want to play the "heads up win at any cost" game.

I suppose some readers are cringing now about some of the d/r honeys we race. I have been told that you need a low 10 or 9 second car to win anything in today's world.
That being the case, we should be seeing a new winner every other week.
Not so, it seems.
Yes we've seen an A or B Camaro driver finish 1 & 2 last year, also a few 305 Malibu wagons winning races..Anybody care to explain how that's even possible?
