Cylinder heads

[BadFastGTC]

By the way, I needed to send a public update and apology to those waiting for parts and heads. I had been putting off knee surgery hoping my machinist would get the work done I had taken to him over 3 months ago. Well, on August 28, I couldn't wait any longer. The knee got scoped out. I spare you those details. Following that I caught some flu bug that just kicked my butt. I plan on getting back at it this weekend. So thatnks for your patience and understanding. I'll be absorbing all the shipping costs as a result. It is the least I can do.

On a different front, I have an opportunity to do some work for a company that is R&D on the 5.7 heads. These heads are pretty decent out of the box and I have a 23 cfm improvement on them with the stock valve job and valves. The cfm improvement is almost equal on intake and exhaust. I hope this pans out!

Hemi heads! I'm intrigued, my Magnum would love some more go...

Glad to hear you are doing good Steve

Glad to hear that you are doing better Steve. I really hope you can get something going with the 5.7 stuff. Hopefully you can get as much work as you want from guys who aren't cheap skates.

Congrats Steve. Work your magic on those heads and you'll be just fine. Hope the knee gets better as well.

Everyone, here is an update on what happened with the Hemi heads and others. First a little background on the Hemi stuff. One of our own (well he was one of the early ones), AJ, had asked me to do development work on the '05 - 08 5.7. The completed work was taken by me to Arrington Performance where I spent a few days testing their stuff to my stuff, 6.1 heads from various suppliers, etc. First class place where I met a lot of cool people and saw a lot of cool things. I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement, so I must leave it at that. The summary of the whole deal was a potential job, but the Pews.pulled me aside at a race a month later and said they wanted to hire me, but had to add an engineer and there was no more wiggle room in their budget. He said he did not want to bring me on board and have to let me go in three months or so. I appreciated that immensely! I ended up picking up 35cfm on the intake side and 34 on the exhaust side. The ports were smaller than others too. I was pleased with what came out of them with stock valves. Larger valves were even better. I plan to step out on my own with these soon, once a few more details are worked out. I have also continued work on 8v and 16v offerings. Pictures are in members gallery. I ask if anyone has interest in any of these, feel free to send a PM or call.

Thanks for the update Steve. Also, Joy says hello. She was bummed you weren't at SDAC this year.

Steve hopefully we can catch up some time. Have you worked on the 6.1 heads yet? Seems most of the guys swap out the 5.7 heads, you can find them pretty cheap. 6.1 heads are like gold though... Or a lotus or masi head, ha... Any way, I'll probably look for some spare heads and you can work on them.

[BadFastGTC]

You're welcome. Please tell Joy hello also. I had a hard time being here vs. SDAC. I was sending messages to some of the gang asking various questions throughout.

Thanks for the update Steve. Also, Joy says hello. She was bummed you weren't at SDAC this year.

I learned a ton about both of them Gary. We'll have to chat about them both sometime. I have all the data. The potential in the 5.7 is pretty amazing. Then again, it is all about the money one wants to invest.

nice of you to update your customers on whats going on. I wish more people did this. Great customer service........I'll remember that!

[BadFastGTC]

Thank you, although I will admit there were a couple of instances over a period of time I could have done a better job of that. I will not allow that to happen again. Let me know how the car runs, you have a pretty sweet F-head there!
