New guy with a new? question

Hey, why don't people use a head land/dykes ring? I'm sure the cost is higher, but there are supposed to decrease the unburned HCs, increase compression slightly, and reduce piston rock at TDC. So, why don't people use them? By the way, just got my first camaro to go with the minivan. '91 RS TBI auto, 155K $1500 new tires/shocks/struts/trans rebuild, needs a little paint, needs a little interior, but otherwise very clean. Of course, that also means very stock. My Venture minivan probably has more power

Welcome,

I know. I drive a Venture reguarily and it does have some get-up-and-go power, but that RS has a heck of a lot mor Torque and potential.

That is good for an 1887 But it must be expensive to put food in the troph for 180 mouths! lol.

Just fooling around. Ahhh... strap some headers and cat back on thet RS and u will be kicking butt.
