Those are frigging sweet. Probably undriveable except in a straight line, wide-open. Cool

I like these. Perfectly round, straight shot, and minimal port volume. I would guess those heads were killers.

RIP Steve. Sad

I like how the guy who started this thread has now come a really long ways in 18 years. Very Happy
