I don't know if any of you have seen this... but I thought it was the coolest thing i've seen in a long time. I really hope this technology makes its way to our cars. The possibilities are endless....

What do you think?

 

That is interesting. I would like to see one of these heads up close. I wonder what the production cost would be compaired to standard heads? And if they could be an aftermarket install?

According to the Videos, the cost is about the same as exisiting heads and they can retrofit any engine. At this time they're concentrating on full engine orders.

 

It's an interesting idea but the port is going to flow terribly at low "lift".

 

Don't hold your breath on these heads, they've been in "development" for at least 5yrs now and still haven't been used anywhere that I've seen.

Interesting idea for sure, just not too feasible.
