So would it be plausible, with all the better choices of heads out there nobody wants to go faster than they're going?? Or are you saying none of these guys know what they're doing? Why wouldn't some of these guys bolt on the "better" heads and go run deep into the five's?

George, if you changed fuel in your car and cranked up the boost how fast would you run?
A little more detail on the Fastest list:
#1 Warp 6 - limited availability
#2 our billet RA5 - not available, built for ruggedness, not ultimate flow
#3 Tiger heads
#4 e-heads
#5 (I don't recall)
#6 E-heads
#7 Tiger
#8 Warp 6
#9 Warp 6?
#10 Warp 6

So 4 different heads represented....a nice variety in my book.

Thanks Eric, I agree! It's to bad none of the heads on that list are readily available except for the Edelbrocks.

Hi Stan, I'm not sure why, but they've been out of stock for a long time.

Paul,
Thanks did not know that.

Just a WAG, but could be like the CV1's were sold out for sometime before the new CV1.1 came out that the Tigers are sold out of this casting run and are waiting on a new improved casting.

I agree with your thoughts but I've been told six more weeks for almost a year now and I know a gentleman that has been told that for close to two years. I know they have a fairly long list of buyers waiting and are doing their best to get the Tiger head done.

We used Tigers on the Grocery Getter and had no trouble getting them.

We had the first gen Tigers ( lots better now) and they were worth an instant 150 hp gain over ported e-heads (which are further developed now too).

Tigers are a very good head....hopefully they're available soon.
