Sometimes it's suppliers, raw material availability, etc. Along this line, just consider the similar difficulties that ET Performance (heads) and World Castings have (heads and block) had in the past year.

It's hard to wait. But sometimes good things require patience.

Great statement Steve. We are currently making some changes to the molds. As Steve said, it takes time to make things happen.

I agree. I'd much rather see a quality product than a rushed one. I just hate that it's not ready when I am.

The changes to our molds have been made and they are on the way back to the foundry. We get in line and hopefully have some castings here soon.

We have final samples being machined now. We will approve these final samples and then heads will be poured. It is looking like we will have heads in Feb.

The parts used to build these heads will be only the best quality parts available. If you are in the market for an aftermarket head, our Predator castings will be a great option for you.
Hey Gunnar, You mention choice of comb. chamber size. Will you be going as large as the AFR`s 205 with the option of a 76cc chamber. I may be looking to keep dropping compression in the future? Thanks

Speed Inc has them for sale on their site. Not sure if that means they are ready to go or if there is still a wait. http://www.ls1speed.com/catagory.cfm...in%20/%20Heads

when will we have pictires of inside the runners and the back of the valve guide pictured from the chambers of the ported heads?

can the stock rockers be used with the stock valve covers without modification?

flow numbers of the smaller ports on a 3.900 bore ?

and what about the new cams said to be avalable soon.
