blackonblack, check out MMR for the trickflow heads. They have 3 stages of the heads for some reason. And they seem legit. Im about to send them an email about them and ask them whats done to the heads and ask them if there are any problems like nick had with porting these heads and how they are flowing compared to the factory castings.

Umm I dont know... track record, number of moving parts, weight, complexity... take your pic. Its pretty common knowledge that 2v is more reliable than 4v. Thats not to say a 4v is "unreliable" per se.... but in a race car this is definitely the case.

at any horsepower level 400 500 600 700 and on up.. A 4v is more reliable in every sense of the word.. Its easier on parts, both valvetrain, and shortblock parts.....
what is this track record that you speak of? a guys cousin, that someone down the street knows?
HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW WITH a 2v racecar? since in a race car you claim this is the case..
