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.
