Back on topic, glad you're happy with the 5.5 head. I like mine too. No change in top end performance (stock head did 65, so does this one) but a noticeable improvement climbing hills.
Thanks. I found my top end to be the exact same as well at 65 but the hill climbing is a huge improvement from from the stock 4.2 to 1 head.

I think the 6 to 1 head is very good as well and I know it performs better than the 5.5 with additional modifications. I have Babbitt bearings and have no intention of doing any additional performance modifications so the 5.5 head was right for me. No need for me to go higher as the 5.5 meets my needs.
