Well, yes...no.
The black car started out as a 2.3L motor. It was switch to a 2.0L Duratec to do testing. When Leo had the crash, there was some damage done to the motor and just before Nationals LC Racing swith the black car back to a 2.3L because that was the only motor Leo had.
The new 2008 Car LC Racing will have a 2.0L Duratec.
That being said, in 2007 we felt the 2.3L had a slight advantage to the other 2.0L. Because of this we made changes to the rules for the 2.3L cars. Now the 2.3L cannot use a 4.06 gear, It's now 25lbs heavier then last years car (75lbs different then 2.0L) and they must use the OEM TB.
So, now we believe all the motors are equal in a since where no car has an advantage at all types of tracks. So, we don't need a head for the 2.0 Duratecs that produces more power then the current spec'd FRPP heads, because all the numbers weight, parts and etc are based on the FRPP head and parts.
