Prices will always be like this on a new part(new being 2 years or less in market). Castings arent cheap unless done in large volumes and the volume is not going to be there to get the price down. I have had a prototype Predator casting in my hands thursday and will tell ya they have potential(just by the way the prototypes were, much less the actual piece that Patriot is going to sell).

gollum, we already make this combo. 11 degree ls7 small bore. still uses a ls7 manifold, smaller intake valve and positioning for the 4.00 bore.

PZ, I was thinking of you when I posted. 
If we can get a special price on two sets, count me in! The "Predator" and "PREDATOR-Z" trademark infringement discount.

I plan on perusing my trademark legal documents and file for punitive damages, which, BTW, could be easily settled out of court with delivery of a mint, complete set of heads, at each of our doorsteps, but it's Patriot's choice, pay us now, or pay us later.

Surely we could do a little something for both of you
As far as pricing, assembled retail will be $1795.00. These will come with all the good stuff and choice of valve, runner, and chamber size...custom made heads just for your application. Last edited by Gunnar@Patriot; 12-13-2005 at 10:29 AM.

OUCH!!, heads are next on my list.

You could have picked a different name, but "orangepeel" is very becoming.
