So what do YOU suggest for someone who's interest is in maximizing 
durability, gas mileage, and driveability while minimizing emissions and 
maintenance. I'd like to get as much performance as I can out of what 
amounts to a stock engine, without giving up emissions or having to buy 
expensive gas.

BTW, I realize that you have made your opinions known on this in the past, 
but for the record, I've been doing this on stock engines for about 10 years 
and have no complaints to date. Keep in mind that our goals are completely 
different. I suspect that you have found that the semi-hemi heads do not work 
for you for what you want them to do, and I accept that, but how much can 
you say about them in my regime?
