A K-Series with that same stroke has been able to reach a little over 400WHP and more torque than this. Also multiple cars not just one (I believe Skunk2's has 400whp+ and some other shop cars). Another thing, why use H series in our cars when they weight more? Our shell already gives us a disadvantage as far as weight so why put a lot more weight? Also why want more motor mounts and if you think about it further our car is designed to have the header in the BACK not the FRONT so H series in our cars is out of the question for many reasons. If you are talking about EG's and other platforms then yes, you might save some money doing an H but in the long run K's are so easily available now that it is cheaper to have the new technology. The only thing that is expensive with K series is the tuning (computers), FlashPro is like $700 and K-Pro is $1000. You can probably tune a B or H with a P28 or cheaper solution.
