Hank -
You and Larry shouldn't feel too bad. Having raced and been associated with Mike Kirby for over 15 years, I know for a fact his choice of cylinder heads is the 194. He has proven through years (not days) of dyno testing, flow testing and actual racing (not occasional) that the 194 cylinder head will outperform the others. There could be as many variables in cylinder head prep and dyno testing as there are in actual racing.
