Conversely....it took you a very short time to make your mark w/ the pro ports. A great head shows results...and "fast" you say. Look at the time span between when the RPM's were 1st released and the time it took to put a N/A street car into the 7's.
You should have the Pro ports in the 7's this year...assumably. That makes the pro ports WAYYYY better than the RPM's..right? Just tryin' to get a handle on the logic that is being used.
They (RPM's) were out for 17 years before Jack got them to perform at the level that HE is at. I haven't followed the dates on Jeff's milestones....but it hasn't happened overnight....more like YEARS. Many years since the RPM's were released. Just tired of hearin' how the CV-1 have been out for SOOO long. Not really that long in the grand scheme of things. A few have hyped the cv-1's up and regretably...too soon. My CV-1 engine made 705 hp and I spec'd everything but the cam. I'm a truck mechanic by trade. I can weld, paint, wire and just about anything else when I put my mind to it. I'm not an engine building specialist by any means....but 700 hp on pump gas is fine by me...for now.

Sigh...Face palm...throw up in my mouth a little. YOU are trying way to hard to justify the difference in performance by assigning a time frame? Look, if i had those heads they woulda either belted out some real power, got fixed so they did or sold. PERIOD,and all in less than 2 years. So you think if we give everybody with cv1s "more time" they will catch up? I promise you that has nothing to do with it.
So i should go ahead and be impressed in advance and just wait till i finally get beat in a heads up race by them. Of course over this waiting period i wont get faster though...right?

You're living the CV1 dream......no need to wake up.

All this aside I will go on record and say that I am sure I could bust 1000 hp with them. First try...guaranteed. I'll be yawning with a great big sticker waiting for the CV royalty to arrive so I can present it to them.

I'd actually like it gone so I'll lower the bar and just "give it" to any cv car with the stones to line up win or lose. That should be attainable....right?
