I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

Found a pair. Thanks
They had a set of 74 cc heads.
I cracked a head at WOS so now I'll be able to make World Finals.

The head you cracked should be able to be welded. Aluminum heads are generally a fairly simple fix as long as distortion is properly controlled.

Than is correct.  Our car is #7472.  The heads that i cracked are stock iron heads that I opened up because I'm running 20 pounds of boost.  Problem is it weakens the heads.  The Wilson & Woods look like they have lots of extra metal that I can remove and still withstand the boost.
