WOW! You picked up on the sarcasm part, very perceptive! What about the truth part in the second half?

Truth Dan? This is where it always takes a "LEFT" turn. Most of the koolaide drinkers prefer the emotional defense rather than the logical truth based version.....

Yeah, it happens! Here is what I think... I hope Bill can get his deal together, I hope that their drive system is trouble free and doesn't violate any copyrights and he can get out there and get running. I am pretty sure I am not the only one that feels this way, I would postulate that this would be the general consensus from most of us, You know, all of us that that camp thinks we hate them and wish them to fail.

... truth ?? ... you mean like the truth that you've told others that you feel its just a matter of time that CV-1's will make big power on the right build, and that you look at them as a possible upgrade to what you have ?? ...

... the source is a trust worthy person, so if its true, then why don't any of your posts reflect this position ?? ...

I've said it repeatedly bill....here and elsewhere and I was not joshing. I would say I no longer would run them personally for a few reasons. I would think your engine should make big numbers. FO REAL.

1. At this point I've decided to hang on to the junk I have with a few improvements and invest a little in a street car and a gto resto.
2. I don't believe there would be sufficient room for future improvement (I'd need 100+ at the same cid to make it make sense) If I switched to ANY head they would need considerable work to show that improvement. A big investment for a little gain. Likely 12-15000. I could switch for less but would stay the same performance and who wants to spend 9500-10500 and not improve on the power and performance they currently have.
3. I've tried selling my stuff and the consensus was that I was being stupid wanting 6500 for the whole top end including cam and lifters and shaft setup including pushrods.
LOL!
people think you can get this level of performance with 3500 wide ports. and all their existing parts...NOT!
4. The cool aide deal is unattractive to me....Sorry I tried to say it nicer but it was a bunch o gobbily gook.

Mike must have been drunk when he said that!

They don't even make a CV1 head anymore, if it has been 7 years and not even 1,000 HP N/A hasn't been achieved yet?

.... I don't think so .... Mike doesn't strike me as that type ...

... why are you so worried about CV-1 production Jack, if a set shows up and spanks you, then production status doesn't matter ...

... you should talk less and work more, as you'll have your work cut out for you Jack ...

... do you really think my 572 won't make 1,000hp+ ?? ...

Based on what you do for a living, the companies you work for, the size of that engine and the head layout on that engine it better make 1,000+ on the DYNO and show it at the track.
