Thank you all for the kind words. With that being said, I want to make sure people understand who I am and what I'm about. First off, the work is not behind us, not even close. I personally go through every set of heads, from inspection, to taking measurements, checking and setting up valve springs to even making the templates and putting the logo on the heads. Hell, Vic still checks and backcuts valves for me. I'm at my day job (25 years and counting) for at least 9 hours a day and Vic is at his close to 11-12 and honestly I don't want to spend every free minute I have setting up heads or being on the phone. I know from past experiences, for every 10 people I speak with 8 of them will never buy anything. And, don't get me wrong, I want to help people achieve their goals and see them succeed with their program but, I can't spend every waking moment doing just this. Our goal when we started was not to turn this into some big operation but, to make something that's better than what's currently available even if on a limited basis. Second, 100% of this effort has been paid for and will continue to be out of my pocket, not backed up by a financial institution. I purchase castings when I can and have them machined when I can. It's really that simple. I / we do this because we were interested in SBM engines from the time we were teenagers and just wanted something better. As far as being better than a W2 head I will say this, any cylinder head not properly done will underperform. I'm sure there are plenty of W2 engines out there that run really well and they should. They have several advantages over what we're working with here and have completely different architecture. Not to mention, people have been working with them since what 1977? In closing, I know my heads aren't the cheapest things going and never will be. But, if you really want to support the "Little Guys" and actually get the performance you paid for. I might just have what you need.
Thank you,
Rod
