CSX 427: I think the main reason why you don't see more hi-risers on replicas is that they aren't that well suited for the street. They have very good mid-range power and excellent top end, which is great for racing or track use, but their lack of low-end torque makes them suck for street driving and even autocrossing. While I was in the market I went for a test drive in a machine with a hi-riser setup, and around 3K RPMs it went like hell, very impressive, but then it had an extra tall hood scoop ... just didn't look right. ; ) Rich
