Fireballed Mad Mod One ported cylinder head

Other than the current project M, do Fireballed still have the Mad Mod One CNC ported cylinder head?
I was searching around, but couldn't find any info.

I like the idea of CNC ported with stock valvetrain, it fits my application well. Not too extreme.

Is the head discontinued?

Any input would be highly appreciated.

Last time I was in at Fireballed (about 6 weeks) they did have/offer a "Stage One," which I believe had the stock valvetrain. I don't know for sure whether that is the same as you are thinking about. Also, was designed for use with stock cam, as I recall.

If you call Brian and ask, I'm sure he'll be happy to tell you "for sure."

Is your stage one spec similar to the JCW head?

I saw the picture of your cylinder head somewhere. It looks great.
Is the stage one compliment well with the Schrick camshaft?

Its far better than the jcw, I compare the jcw to a stock head and it works really well with a schrick cam.

If I'd be able to raise the rev-limit to 7,200 rpm some how, here is the question:

With you stage one head plus a Schrick camshaft set up, do you recommend using stock valve springs?

Or do you recommend using the dual springs?

And could we order your stage one head with stock valve size but with dual valve springs instead?

Kindly advise, Thanks.

we could upgrade the springs no problem, and anyone who tunes minis can raise the rev limiter. 7500 would be good
