So I just had a conversation with Dave Redmon at www.replikamaschinen.com

He is a very interesting man with a large backround in racing engines. From drag racing to IMSA.

Apparently one of his clients opened his pocketbook and said do what ever you have to do to make it go fast......

Thats about all I could get out of Dave on the carbon piston specificly.
He chose not to share that particular secret with me as he had a commitment to the customer to not talk about at length... YET... (more to come later)

Like Jake and many others. he uses coatings on just about every moving part imaginable.

Daves real expertise is all about headwork. His partner is more of the machinest.
(I think)
On the head flow conversation he was very open and very interesting. Based in the conversation I had with him. He has a very differant way of porting, reshaping and dealing with the porsche head. We were in agreement that the angle of the valves could be much better. Especially on the 356 head.
Me thinks he is onto something... Time will tell... If I had a buch of extra money to take a gamble on... I might want to send him a set of 2.0 heads and see what he can do...

He is also a great perveyor of designing a complete package. Based on the engine's usage and the customers needs.

If any of you are interested in his offerings. you can give him a call or check his website. http://www.replikamaschinen.com/porsche912_gallery.htm

You guys amaze me with the stuff you come up with. And I am forever grateful for all of it...
