Dean an mom are doing great!!! Thanks

I too would like to see more boats in our class. Pretty sure my buddy fraser will have a boat for next year. Hes hooked!

I got a drag plate last week, and had a set of heads milled down. So between those mods and lightening the boat up a bit i hope to still be able to keep up!


did you try the 2.0l heads?

I tried to bolt the 2.0 heads on, but the head itself is a bit wider then the 2.4 head. So when i went to bolt it on, it was up agianst the ex chest an the headbolt holes didnt line up. Id have to mill the side of the head down to get it to work. Maybe cuz there from the fatblock an pinned like a 2.5?

I did have my buddy mill my bp hemi dome heads down .050 but havent bolted em on yet.
