Missed on this combo?

Glad to hear this hasn't got ya down!

I'm curious to see what you come up with. I was just thinking you should try out a pair of them speedmaster CNC heads. When mike at MRL was building engines he used them on a few and made good power. They seem like an interesting alternative to the edelbrocks out there.
I never saw ANY of his builds make the power his 3rd party dyno sheets claimed. He used inflated dyno numbers as a sales tool, or perhaps he believed the inflated numbers the dyno service provided him, but anyway, he has now shut the doors and changed careers...
