Yep, that's pretty much my point here. Enthusiasts can't justify (or, better yet,
afford) spending that kind of money on just a head. Just to have how much usable street power? As much as a mild small block? It really is logically insensible.
I'm speaking from my own perspective here, and certainly to each his own. I really like to
drive my vehicles so reliability, street and cruise-ability are important to me. I also like to be different (which is why my 66 stepside has a 292). But at some point, economics and common sense kicks in and I start thinking about $$$ per HP, parts availability and overall out-of-pocket expenses.
Damaging a head on a 300 HP street 350 can be replaced for a few hundred bucks by a local race shop. Damaging the Sissell head costs me two children! (you get the point)
So the Sissell head is very much for drag racers and enthusiasts who
really,
really into the "being different" thing. But never for me.
