Default any news on the super 7 locks yet?

Haven't heard anything about them lately. Patriot was supposed to be using them on their heads when they came out. Anybody got them? Any updates?
Thanks.

i need to know this too. i'm a couple days away from being forced to make a spring puchase to replace my REV's for my G5X-2 (i've put this off for over 6 months now) and would love to test this new set-up out on my local road course March 27-28. 6000-6800 RPM's for 20 minutes @ a time 4 times a day for 2 days would be a good test.

E-mail me with your location and I will give you a dealer as close to you as I can. They won't have them in stock but they could get them drop shipped for you.

The lock was designed for Cup engines years ago to replace the 10 degree lock. The characteristics (the angle mainly) allows the retainer, valve, and locks to seat together and stay together. Cup cars would break springs frequently and the locks would jump out and then the valve would drop. . .ouch. The Super 7 helps prevent this.

Hope you like them, I have several hundred hours of time in those SOB's.

We have received several sets of springs/retainers with the Super 7 locks now. You can call us to place your order, and we will have a set drop-shipped for you!
