wow that intake is pure eye candy.
I'll plead ignorant here, what makes it an road-race build exactly? Ive heard folks talk about engine built for specific hour uses but other than strengthen is there any necessary for a roadrace build? thnk you

Totally awsome build, top notch stuff
I can't say how much difference the vette headers would make,we lose about 75-80 hp on the chassis dyno in a 6 speed vette

lots of things go into making it a road race engine,type of bottom end components,design of the pistons.The biggest thing is the valvetrain.Valvetrains on these motors are very critical because they have to hold up under a wide rpm range.The rpm range is also important in these-need to have plenty of low end tq for out of the corners but good top end rpm for long straight stretches
