Cylinder head dyno shoot out

Dude - noone is doubting the idea but there’s more than one way to skin a cat.

Maybe there is a segment of guys that just don’t know the difference, don’t care or maybe are just simply not aware of the choice. Should they all just shitcan their whole top end and go right to Indy 360-1s?

I stand by my reasoning that if you’re going to invest in the offset rocker stuff it’s kinda pointless to handicap them with garden-variety parts. They represent a commitment to an entire combination, it’s not just the rocker arms.

Case in point- My W2 340 was OK but you certainly don’t need them go 12.0. The guy that built the engine used garden-variety parts; heavy TRW pistons and a Mopar .528 solid cam. It was a street/strip car. OK it had H.S. rockers and a Victor W2 intake but it was untouched. Hughes 10” 3,500 converter, FMVB 904 and a 4:30 gear. The whole thing was right out of the MP recipe book and it went 12.0 like it was supposed to.

At the time I pulled that motor, I considered the options available which at the time were less plentiful than now. The CNC RHS were a good deal. The W2s would have cost at least the same or more to re-do. I could not afford to set the world on fire at that point in my life so the standard set up made the most sense to me. I sold the W2 stuff as a package at Carlisle for enough that the RHS didn’t cost me a dime. Had I run them like I wanted to, the RHS would have been way faster than the W2s.

I’m sure you will find a way to call me an idiot but I’m being honest and am speaking from direct experience so YRMV.
