Reply to "aluminum heads"

I remember the A3's as 235, 100 on the exhaust sounds right.
I didn't keep a note bood on the A3's. It wasn't important then.
Next time I have them off, I will cc them.
Again I remember the B's as right around 217. The exhausts were smaller then the A3's, needed help and were opened up to A3 size.
They didn't feel "cleveland" to me. They were kinda like driveing a 2v truck with a 2.78 first gear. Maybe I just couldn't switch back and forth with the two engines in my head.
The A3 is much more of an explosive set up. The B3 isn't.
Of course one can't argue with the area under the graph, but that doesn't have to make me like it.
I apparently like peak HP more then the "bread wagon" steady type.
It's my programing. Every real high performance engine I have ever driven is peaky and that's what I expect. Even the sound is different. I suppose the peaky engine goes supersonic at some point and that's what I hear( and like).
I suppose that these are old school aditudes but I'm not racing for a living and I am playing with yestertech for a reason.
If I didn't want it, I wouldn't be playing with a Pantera for sure.
