    I apologize for getting it wrong vis-a-vis where/when (or how many times?) the CRB went around the STAC but my concern stands. When a CRB member submits a letter that "accidentally" bypasses the ad hoc and goes straight to his committee, there's something wrong. Make no mistake that the CRB is clearly not bound to accept the ad hoc's finding of "not recommended" but this is a case where a paper trail and determination of who is supporting what would be a valuable tool of transparency for the membership.

    The more things change, the more they stay the same.
    I would be surprised if that name is released.
    The desire for transparency among the clubs operators is far less than I would prefer.
    It's a fucking CAR CLUB folks. We are not hiding our weapon technolofy from a world menace. Just follow proper procedures, name names, and cut it with the back channel end around BS.

    Seems to me, non-compliant SM heads are just looking for a place to play. I say ok, but add a zero to the adjustment.

    100% dead lock it was either Drago or Keane. It really makes no difference which. They are both "playas" when it comes to this game.

    EDIT - just noticing now that items from real members list the proposer's name; items from the mist just list "Club Racing Board." That's bad practice, assuming we care about transparency.

    EDIT EDIT - LMFAO! I crack me up!!

    But....1% weight? Maybe 5%.....???


    Could this ACTUALLY be a field "leveler" for some cars, eliminate the "plunge gate" problems (some of these heads SUCK from the factory, and suck more than the other heads off the same engines). I'd suspect that the CRB might actually be seeking opinions! Write some letters?

    I Personally think it won't benefit big k20's.

    It will barely benefit b18cs.

    It will barely benefit b16"s.

    It will give 6-10 whp to d15/d16/Mazda bp.... although I'm a bit rusty on BP stuff

    What are the "other" engines I'm not thinking of/don't see much?

    Ford stuff? Chevy? Nissan sr20?

    Yea, when the ITAC created something SOMEbody penned it and took charge. I did the vent window thing, I think, and so on.
    Having a name attached from the CRB WOULD be cool, except, it would mean little if they just assigned a guy to sign it in leau of the actual originator.
