... well, i'm not sure who's engine you're referencing with the whole (worked, reworked, and reworked forever) part, but we don't have an engine that fits that description at all, Fulton is our top dog right now, so i'm assuming that's the one you're meaning, but his engine is the same set up as it was when it was first built, same cam, valvetrain, manifold, carbs, bottom end etc ... even the N20 system is the same, there have some set backs and bugs for sure, but nothing that fits the reworked forever statement, and the eggs in one basket doesn't fit either, Fulton is a customer that wanted to build a CV-1 N20 engine that makes more power than his old combo, and that's exactly what has been done, certainly not all our eggs per say ...
... now where i do agree with you 100% is the (Success on many Levels) part of your post, which is exactly what we've been doing, and i know the first thing many will say or bring up the whole N/A Max Effort type build, which obviously has not happen yet, but the issue there is there have been a bunch of customers that have directly compared their CV-1's to other cylinder heads, and on these customers cars the Tigers, Edelbrock RPM's, KRE D-Ports & High-Ports have all been outrun on customers cars with before and after testing, the real problem is for some reason when people make suggestions like yours, these customers before & after testing has somehow been forgotten, no matter how much we try to remind people of it, and the notion nothing has happened in 7 years now, which honestly makes no sense to me, so the success on many levels has been happening for quite some time now and Fulton's car is certainly a part of that, in fact Fulton's performance at Norwalk which was a 7.62 @ 174 which came after lifting close to 200ft short as we'd made the low cylinder even less happy, previous run was approaching 181mph, but there are others that are trying to convince everyone that Fulton's car is not much faster if at all ...
