Re: High Compression Head Review

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.

Re: High Compression Head Review

This is exactly the reason I am getting the Mitchell. It is shipping this week and I feel the 5.5 Head will compliment it quite nicely. I just hope my limited Model A experience will allow me to...

Re: High Compression Head Review

I agree with your statement however some people do not like the old saying of "To Each Their Own".

No offense taken at all as I was expecting your comments to come. I simply took the advise to drive my car and experience the cars that different people have prior to making a decision. With...

Re: High Compression Head Review

Funny you say that. On my first drive to a car show last Saturday with the 5.5 Head I used less spark and the car started to boil over a little. I went back to half spark advance and the problem...
