I also agree that for the average Joe (myself and many others) the 194 head might be a challenge. Someone with many years of inline cylinder head experience might have a little more success. Sometimes cheaper is not better.

[/quote] Bob, that has been the viewpoint we have been trying to point out from the beginning. The dollar to dollar comparison between these two heads. These tests have been for the average Joe, and the average Joe comprises 99.9% of the enthusiasts that are only going to do the basic head prep work for their projects. And for each dollar spent on either style of head, the large chambers performance gains exceeds the small chamber heads gains. Its only after you spend an additional amount of $$$$'s to further relieve and reshape the chambers of the small chamber head, and do additional milling to further increase the compression, that the small chamber head finally begins to pull ahead of the large chamber, but again, its only that final one tenth of 1% of enthusuiasts that are going to even go to that extreme to do this. And these dyno tests were selected to benefit the 99.9% of average Joe's that are going to do these simple basic modifications to start with.
