Ron, what's up with all the political stuff?? I don't see how that adds value to the product or the business image. As one of your original customers and as we have discussed in the past. My advice, focus on getting the headers done and out there. Aronhk MD is a saint for dealing with the hassle of responding to everyone's questions, concerns and providing status. The product speaks for itself and as you fill the orders, the negative PR goes away. I know it all feels personal and all, but you got a business to run and that is where your attention needs to be focused. Those people PO'd about the wait are going to PO'd until they get their headers and they have a right to be. Adding new projects does not make the issue better from their perspective. If it were me, I would be pumping out uncoated 2nd gen 1 3/4 primary, 3" collector headers in D and O ports as fast as I could to fill old orders. No coating, collector, material or diameter choices beyond that. That's the extent of my un-solicited, un-asked for opinion.

From my perspective, I am somewhat holding off on a cylinder head purchase as I would like to go round port but I have enough confidence in the product that I won't do so without going to a set of these headers. However, I am not buying a set until all of the older orders are filled including Crusty's issue addressed. In the end, I will probably keep my 2rd run D ports modified with a larger collector and go with a KRE head to resolve the issue on my end.
