Sure thing Larry. Nice to hear from you! I have a Snyder 5.5 on the coupe but run a stock on the roadster. There's a world of difference in pulling power between the two. Some day the roadster will get one too when I get the spare $$$. Barry

Yes, I have one of yours and will buy another as soon as they are available. No complaints, installed as instructed, run air on the car and have about 14,000 miles on your head with no gasket issues. Hope your health is good.

Default Nope, not in my cars

Nope. I don't need one. The G28 engines in my two Model A's work well enough for me.

Fordially,

I have to build my next engine up first. Then I would get one.

Thumbs up Re: POLL: The one that really matters

Without a doubt I would opt to have a high compression head on my car. Are we thinking of cranking up production Larry? Glad to see you are posting once again. CC

Yes. I've had a 5.5:1 for the last two years (approx. 2000 miles) and love those extra few horses. No more long lines of angry folks behind me as I climb those long single-lane hills (depending on how steep the hill is. After all, it's still a Model A).

Wouldn't go back.

I recently purchased my 1st A. I cannot see any reason not to use a HC head, as long as it looks stock. I'll probably look into getting one once I get the ole girl running good as I live at 5300 ft in elevation and could use all the power I can get.
