In theory air pockets in your water cooling system cause cracks. If you get any air in your water system the air pockets will allow areas to heat faster then cool (relatively speaking) once the water hits it. Pumps have to drive the system and the plumbing and radiators take up space. This is the theory anyway.
If you go to billet heads there is no need for water. Cast filled heads seem to take the heat and cool slower. But a filled cast head is usually not repairable if something major would happen. And one more downfall to dry head and blocks is multiple runs. This is probably the hardest on a dry system if not cooled or fresh oil changed out. For organizations with floating finishes usually not an issue. COO for OTTPA www.outlawpulling.com www.truck-specialties.com Schaeffer Oil Representative [www.schaefferoil.com] Edited 2 time(s).

Go for it, just get your clearances correct. Talk to someone doing the same that knows what works. Things to consider are skirt clearance, ring gap, valve guide clearance, piston coating and run as much oil in your sump as possible.
