possible the Blue head has better mileage... but there is also to factor that the LTD has a little lower overall sleeve timing.....i think it would need to be something tested back to back ....

If I were to have Nova build me a engine it would be very close to the Gold head Paloma...it has the DNA to be many things, from a fuel sipping mizer to a all out drag engine..I would put a nicer cooling head on it, some ceramic bearings and maybe a nicer slugged and tuned crank but with the same bore and timing profile....even tho its a 7 port it has lower sleeve timing then Nova usually uses, which gives it really crisp bottom end power....
