Default Lynn's RAV headed cars out there at the tracks?

Is there any new Lynn's RAV headed cars out there at the tracks? Just wondering why there's never any postings. If I had a set & running I'd be posting (bragging) about it. Im wanting a set but I never here of guy's running them. Lynn posted pics of a bunch of heads going out. So why are we not hearing anything?

I was real excited to see these come out around 2ys ish ago & with no results from someone other than Lynn it's not good. I mean someone can come out with something & post all the good stuff about them is great but with no one else posting actual experiences is odd. How many sets are out there? 10, 20, 30 or more? Someone has to have actually ran one RIGHT??

As far as I know, Lynn's not even sold a set. He's still doing development work. You might what to contact him. He's a member.

I don't think there is alot of high end builds of any head, much less the v's at this time, because of the crummy economy. I certainly don't want to talk for Lynn, but his v head was not intended to be a all out race head. His v head is a nice compromise between the two. He does have a head porters version also for the do it yourselfer. If one wanted to build a budget set, ready available ebay pull out nascar tit. valves and hardware would easily adapt to these heads. You cannot say that for the other raised port offerings to my knowlege.

I am not in the habit of putting the plow before the horse, but I will go out on a limb and say the v head combo we are working on will be he highest hp n/a pontiac built to date.

You already made an estimate by stating it would be the highest hp n/a motor to date.. that puts you at the 1300+ hp range. No doubt Tony is good. Best of luck to you.
