Pointless, even the normal VTR head is superior to the west coast one plus you can get a full blacktop for pennies plus all ancillaries

Does the vtr head have different lobe sizes on the cams

I believe the blacktop head has a different design of combustion chamber on in the head, and as far as I'm aware it runs a different cam but really nothing to write home about. I cant give measurements though or details of duration
