I'm very happy for you if you have the resources to buy every name brand part you want. If you would like to tell me about your experience with gapless rings and Pro Comp heads and what problems you had with them, then I'd love to hear it. Otherwise: Your comment = useless. Besides, since when is a Barry Grant prepped Holley not a real Holley????
Well when you subject yourself to people wanting comments, thats typically what you get. As for gapless rings, they work real well doing one thing only, that is sucking money out of your wallet, seeing as how you say you cant afford all the brand name stuff, but yet you choose a very expensive ring that has shown time and time again that it does not increase hp/tq etc.. The whole theory they have based those rings on, there are 0 gains on a gapless, from my little bit of engine building in the last 15 years.

As for the pro comps, just search around a bit on those, my expeiences where they were very poorly machined, bad rocker arm geometry and some other small issues, again just my findings. Barry Grant you can keep bud, UNLESS things have gotten alot better, for example the demon line of carbs I have touched when new had more shrapnel in them than a scrap yard, AGAIN my findings, everyone is different. You wanted comments, I gave them, I am done now, I wish you luck bud.
