I agree. Harlands are,well,pretty much junk.Luckilly I have my hands in alot of motors throughout the years. Morels fail too. Alot of cars rev to 7000rpm but alot are floating then too,expecially with an aftermarket-heavier-rocker.My old dynojet wouldn't pick it up but the new load dyno does. The problem with stock rockers is that they can side load the valves which wears down the guides.Alot of times you have to shim up the stock rockers to get rid of the problem.Within the last year we've pulled a few heads that the guides were gone.Such heads as AFR and TFS will show this problem,the main reason TFS recommends a roller rocker.

Nice, wish stuff was moving on my car!! haha Can't wait to see it up and back in action. Did you hear the news about QS, its not being run by Rick anymore and it may be visiting other tracks next season....
Yes Richie is going to do specialty events on the east coast. Him and Nate Prichett are going to be working together on a few events. I'm excited about that. I'm thinking of setting my car up for 275 radial.
