SpeedMaster Heads Quality Update.

We received the band saw blade today so tomorrow I'll be at it again. Slicin' 'n Dicin'

I've learned that with all SpeedMaster products, the R&D and engineering is all performed at their headquarters in Australia. The castings are made in China and the CNC machine work and assembly is all done right here in the USA. So these heads are truly international and many families are getting fed making these heads.

My experience with Chinese "hard engine parts", is that machining performed in the US with US inspections and machine maintenance greatly improves the finished product. So that is good news. If I was Speedmaster, I wouldn't hide the steps you just found out, I would advertise the information. Another example of a company that can make this production method work is Molnar. Design and engineering in the US, Rough product from China, finish machining and inspection in the US. Need to get some of these heads on the track and street ASAP and really try and "prove them".

That's another reason we are a WD with Molnar too.

Looks like the price is going up 25%!

Even from the "Cheap Seats" I can tell this is going to be good.

Yep, Narellan Sydney is their big warehouse now. I did some work for Pete (owner of Speedmaster) a little while back as he wanted to develop an FI-carb like a Holley Sniper or FiTech and I started the R&D project for him after I paired him up with the Megasquirt guys. Should give him a call as I made him a few test throttle body systems and just needed a motor to run them on to v'fy everything. It's taken him a while to get here in terms of quality, but some of the stuff they produce now is nothing like their old 'cheap' gear. Awesome to hear the heads are a winner!
