[QUOTE=tampamax]Well, i would think the guys that make the gaskets for the majority of the winners in the NHRA top fuel and funny car classes may know a thing or 2 about strength and reliability. Go with what you will, but saying you can't move forward because of a head gasket....meh.....

Tampax have you ever built a SR? and did you even take a moment to comprehend what I have written? The fact is that I can move forward with a product that is not as good which I have stated. My decision to hold up and wait for a particular part which is superior to others shows that I'm not impatient and willing to pay a little more for the best. Those who know me understand that I take racing seriously because I do it frequently. I also enjoy the fact that this is a reliable daily driver that is going faster than any other stock SR in the area and some that are built. Funny that I didn't see you in line next to me at the last track day to show me how far fetched my wisdom really is. Do some research on head gaskets for these motors and let me know what you come up with. BTW do you run a NHRA top fuel or funny car?
