The current engine before I had to revert to a standard head againQuote:

Its all fine and well thinking that the costs I'm mentioning are ridiculous but they are from people who actually build reliable race engines, its typical of the internet for people to think they know better but in this case going off what your telling me you have been given bad information.
There are probably more people on there that would back you up than me but then they have probably have no experience in building or speccing such an engine where as I have been involved in a few and certainly have dealt with a few people that do it for a living so have more of a idea than most.
If you want anywhere near that power you will be paying some where near that or more for an exhaust manifold and system that works, get a quote off either Tony Law or BTB/SBD or if you want stainless Simpson or JP.Quote:

Like Jonlem said, provide evidence of your work, graph's of power. I never round my figures up to the nearest figure, that instantly shows you never had it RR'd, as you cant even remember the figure. I can remember every one of my dyno runs, the exact figures and operators notes, and i have all my graphs (except 1 i sold with my very last Nova) to prove.
Jonlem - Your sig is very appropiate!
em yes he has had it on a rr and it was tuned on there can't remember if we got a print out or not tho when i wen't with him + it made 195 on a standard head that prity much all that is holding this engine back at the moment + he been on the phone to people (that run some of the fastest cars in the seen ) and they say he on the right track to make it the bhp he really want so for now sit back shut your trap and let him prove you all so wrong watch this spaceQuote:

195 is good though, on a standard head, also believable. I managed 162 on a completely standard 20XE with just a rebuilt GM head.
