Rep Power: 323 its cool i'll run a couple more drag events this year with the d17. I have a k20a2 swap just sitting here waiting on me, but its not going in until i get a quaife, upgraded syncros, stage2 clutch, and possibly a toda head gasket. early next year i'll have a big smile on my face.

Rep Power: 0 I should have more updates as far as a beta testable head in the next 2 weeks. Just to let some people know who are interested, there is a sweet spot on this head where air flow picks up in gobs. I think we may be onto something real good!
