I cannot log on and read Jakes forum since I am not a member. All I see here is a bunch of random ramblings that say nothing about what this guy was going to do. Sure would be nice to know what was really going on.

I detailed why registration has been disabled for the past 2 weeks in a post this morning- Its due to 500 spammers a day invading the site, so many that I could not control it and it's happening to other forums using the same software.

I also enjoy that you've just stated that your current products are not your best work, should we all wait until you release your new killer heads before buying?

Lets clarify something:

What we sell today is the most proven and most effective and most understood offering. Its something that we can dictate tuning for and something that we fully understand. We must understand it before we can support it, if not we'd be like 95% of the other TIV sources, just selling parts that they don't work with.

My Turn Key engines always have and always will get the most updated components. This is for many reasons, but primarily so we can observe them first hand and learn about them prior to releasing them to individuals. This holds true for cylinder heads as well as other components likeour roller cams and lifters that are available in turn key engines at the present, but not in kits or as individual items available through my store..

Anyone who is waiting for us to create the most killer head on the planet will be waiting a while, as we constantly alter things and try to make them better. Ten years ago I was lucky if a 2270 made 140 HP, today that same engine makes 190HP, runs cooler and gets better MPG. Its a process of evolution that we have gone through over time.

The fact is that no matter if the head that was to be replicated is 1 week old technology or 10 year old technology, we still must do what we can to secure it. The other fact is that even though this head is 6+ months old and has been superseded its still better than ANYTHING commercially available based on the TIV casting.

As far as the Supertrapp thread goes- after the crap that was stirred from this thread I won't dare post anything that could stir a debate here for a long time. I simply don't have the time for it.
