If you're talking about my last post, I was joking and making a point, a fairly accurate one too. UMMM.....isn't that the point my long rambling post made? Like I said, there are so many things to discuss on this motor, I have on idea why the first place we need to go every single time is the heads. What's with that fixation? And I'm not even saying the heads chosen are perfect. I am saying that with all the aspects of this thing to look at to singularly focus on the head as the first and foremost as the primary issue for this perceived "problem" (see I still say there's no problem based on the criteria of the build) is weak. Again, it was not me who introduced heads into this. I spoke to the stated goals of the build and if they were achieved. When you yourself clarified, I spoke to the intake and the carb as being a place to look and spoke to how the entire parts list was picked based on its contribution to the goal. And btw, my point to diffuse this stupid discussion on heads is to point out that given the stated goals, they picked the right parts, including the heads. Now, if the goals change so the heads, but I am sure you are painfully aware there is more than one other solution. I am not the one who tried to introduce the cyl heads as the primary issue. Did I respond to that as being ripe with folley, yes, of course, because it was. Not having been the one to introduce it, how do you pin this on me? Every time one of these comes up, someone, as if in a reflex, mentions cyl heads when in fact there are 10000 other aspects to look at. For pointing that out, I'm a bad guy. You say power someone says heads and how whatever head it is isn't the right head, unless of course it is the "right" head. Tell me again who wants to have the narrow conversation on heads. We all know where this was going. If they only used AFR 210 they would have made far more power, because that's where it always goes with some people, and honestly, I tire of it. I have to hand it to you Beach Bum, at least you had the stones to say "would it have made more power, I don't know" that right there is fair. Hey guess what that big orange ball is in the middle of the picture:  Hint: Not XXX heads. |
