There have been absolutely no failures of our USA made Super 7 valve locks so don't post any BS. Terry called the other day needing parts and as soon as he has retainers he said he would order locks.

I just heard from Chris that he thinks the only way there was a failure with the super 7 locks is if the valves were out of spec. Given the valves being used in alot of these application that could definately be the issue.

We haven't ever had a failure when using these on stock valve applications.

Would these work with a TREX if you added a flycutting the pistons to the mix? Those could be some silly numbers!!

I think they would work great with a TREX.. but you would have to do some flycutting because of the 2.05/1.60 valve combo... I'm going to run these heads with a larger cam pretty soon and we'll see how much I pick up over this puny 225.

Are these going to be CNC heads or all hand ported?

Are the Runner volume and flowsheet available?

You and me both!

The early results, along with the price, are starting to look very good.

We have never had a failure of a super seven lock in the field...period. That includes both stock and aftermarket valves.

Thanks for your support Jason!

Are these heads available to the public yet? I will probably just go with heads this summer instead of a stroker. I decided to get a rear, gears, slicks, and maybe some wheels as well...so no money for a stroker. Besides, what do I need all of that power for right now anyways?

How do these springs compare to the PP doubles (material and pressures) and what would the price be on just a COMPLETE spring kit that includes everything like in the PP kit.
