    They can tell themselves that all they want,....I like curves but rolling hills and hair pin turns will never be sexy ha

    There is the one commercial with the tattooed up girl that needs a good razor for her privates.... I can live with that one;)

    Jim,
    If it is OK with Briz can you post the numbers for the dyno session? I am sure lots of us would love to see them.
    Thanks

    Yep, the giant butt trend can end anytime now.

    Called TA today. Think I heard they have 170+ sets of heads on back order. They have a new machinist spinning up soon, and they hope to get through machining ‘the next batch’ soon.

    The Stage I SEs Jim has on order for my 482 build (ordered June 2021)?? He said soonest would be October, but wasn’t promising anything.

    Exactly. I see nothing attractive about that. Exactly opposite if ya ask me. Im more of a tight, little butt guy with just the right curves. Now my Riv on the other hand has a big ole bootie and I wouldnt have it any other way

    I have no problem with that but probably start a new thread. I may share a bit of the first disappointing dyno experience .

    That is the Raquel Welch of cars. Curves in all the good places

    From my experience of being on the list which I have been a few times and am now for two sets of heads,...you usually get a call sooner than expected ,...time flies

    I am officially on the list. Heads and hydraulic cam core. BTW, that 170 number for backorder is ALL heads, not just the castings for BBB.

    Wow, I wasn't expecting such a huge delay getting parts. Im just getting around to pricing out my 455 build... Might have to get the stock iron heads worked on.

    That’s what I did.
    I had a deposit on 350 aluminum heads, almost 2 years, I threw in the towel and continued on with my irons.

    I have my ported heads from Thumper installed on the car and she seems very happy.[​IMG]
