So they were in production for around 4 years by my estimate. Anyone else here take math in school? 7 - 3 = ?

So the heads came out in 08-09 right? They sold out at some point and according to you weren't available for 3 yrs, correct? So all progress/developement just stop for those 3 yrs? What happened to all the people that owned the heads during those years. They parked their cars?
Im sorry but you can't just subtract those years.

Actually you can subtract those years. No matter what Bill might have been doing fiddling on the computer with design ideas...those heads were not out racing. They were not out tuning.

What happened to all of them? Some were built. Bill just posted a list a few pages back of known people running with the heads that had some pretty good results over what they ran before. Others may be running but they don't post on the PY forum, or they chose not to become involved in this debate. And still others may be sitting on someone's shelf.

The point is there have been one, maybe two people here that were unhappy with the CV-1 heads and posted about it. That happens. One guy bought a BBC. The other doesnt seem to post over here any longer. Maybe there are more?

Either way, unlike continued production AND racing of E-heads, plus more E-heads made even early on...the CV-1 racing program has been idle. People have lives and in some cases that might have interfered.

All I'm saying is.........let the CV-1's come again. If they do well, then great. If not....then they'll die away naturally.

Iron heads havent been produced in what 30+ years but there is still development going on. You can't subtract those 3 yrs just because the head wasn't in production. There was still 80 some sets out there. During that 3 years. And yes they were guys out racing with that head during those 3 years! Im sure they are happy to see you dismiss them though.

... yes, my development anyways stopped 3yrs ago, the only thing i was able to finish in that timeframe was my pumpgas 428 engine, and the 572 is still not completed ...

... the bulk of head sales went on street cars, not race cars ... and considering the head was never advertised as a race head that makes sense ...

... and Robin got away from racing during this time frame and he was one our top guys then, so we have not done much during that period, Kelvin Poe and Larry Quinn are the top guys i believe during this period ...

... so this certainly played a part to say the least ...

It must have slowed down, there were only like 5 new ports instead of the 20 from the previous 3 years. Lol!

Sorry, couldn't pass that up.

... yeah i was a busy lil' beaver back then, i think those will hold us for awhile, but i thought it was up to 93 ports what happened ??? ...

... only thing i still need to button up is the exhaust port on the billet CV-2 head, but it's close, that won't take long ...
