Actually when I first talked to them about the R/T heads, they said that
they had never heard of them. I started the engine build up in the late
spring early summer(this year) and at that time they had just listed them
and told me they didn't know if there were any clearance issues with the cam
I bought. So I was just curious about your heads in case I want to upgrade.
Thanks,
