W2's

So far I’ve been 9.70 at 137 @ 2880 lbs with my 362” W2 engine. Still more in it but I’m done chasing ET.

The W2 is tough to beat, I’ve run W2’s since 2009 and doubt I’ll run anything else. They simply make power. Can’t argue with the results.

I don’t care that W2’s are iron. Nonsense to even argue the aluminum vs iron debate. If you have both exhaust bolt patterns, LA headers fit and I’ve ran LA headers for many years. Been in the 9’s with LA headers bolted to W2 heads. The 2nd picture is LA headers and finally I built a set of W2 headers in the 3rd picture.

I don’t have fancy rockers, ductile iron rockers that see 7500 rpm all day long and never miss a beat. Been running these rockers for years.

Not much to complain about if you ask me.

There wasn’t (and isnt) a damned thing wrong with those ductile iron rockers. The only complaint I had was they weren’t available in 1.6 ratio.

They are virtually indestructible.

There has always been (at least years ago) many rocker choices for the W2. It wasn’t like you couldn’t get something.

Guys just have a mental hurdle getting over the offset rocker. Since I love horsepower I couldn’t care less about buying an offset rocker.

So I am new to the W2 and have been trying to read as much as I can find. I got a set of 48⁰ W2s for a great deal. I see they can be made to work on the standard 59⁰ blocks. Tell me about the ductile iron rockers. I thought you had to go with Jesel or T&D offset set ups. Maybe still do, but I am learning. Thanks
