[/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.[/quote]
Scott -
You finally said what I wanted to hear, if you are admitting the 194 head is a very viable piece if properly prepared. There are some people on the bulletin board that have been very successful with this cylinder head. They have apparently put forth the effort or the money to make this head work for them.
I don't feel anyone should state they are wrong for what they believe and that this head isn't an excellent option for a more than average performance engine. If anyone is willing to do what it takes - more power to them.
If this is your opinion, and I have missed it somewhere in a post, I apologize. I agree there are many people on this board
that are looking for only moderate performance, however, there maybe more than 5 out of 5,000 that want something a little more extreme.
Bob
