RRD, if you're going to spend 80-90% of your time on the street, do you really want to compromise streetability? I know a number of folks who crossed the threshold and regret it. Our local engine builder (Southern Automotive) does a great job of managing performance VS street manners. I'm running Twisted Wedge heads and Vic. Jr. intake, but each has been heavily ported and matched right through to the header flanges. My tire budget will certainly be affected. Light weight pistons, solid flat tappet cam/lifters, Demon performance carb and aluminum flywheel means instantaneous throttle response. Just something to consider!
