It will be called the Jesus head, and people will come from miles around to see it. It is said that the virgin Mary's face can be seen if you look through the exhaust port in the right light.

OK, stupid jokes aside, this sounds right up my alley, and I'm sure interested to see the regimen for getting the car into this kind of hp

All this from my new "Big Valve" head with a stock cam and the stock ECU. My Tuner el spent allot of money and time to develop this head. I was amazed at how well the car performs with the stock ECU. The car runs better now then when the stock head was on. Tommarow we are putting in the new custom ground cam with adjustable cam gear. Next week the custom header and 3" exhaust go's in. The final item of this "5 piece system" will be the custom ECU tune. We will dyno the car after each install along the way to document the numbers. All on the same dyno

Revolution Mini Works Inc.

http://************************/

The site isn't much to look at yet, it's more of a placeholder to grow from. The target price point for the head is very aggressive, for what is in it.

For those that are interested more, follow the links and talk to Jan directly. He's a good guy who is a straight shooter.

Matt

ps, hmmm. The site got blocked so. www dot ************** dot com.....

Damn this is silly.. it's "revolution" + "mini"........

Now, I understand that Jan was banned for his cheery posting style. But this is just rediculous. I post AJUSA's information all day long as a source for K&N filters. we post eBay links all day long! Blocking Jan's website is a more of a disservice to the NAM membership than anything else...... And it doesn't really seem consitant with how others are treated.....

ps, a lock would be OK, because the info would still be there. Getting it wiped would be a sad, sad, thing.... M

Please leave it along at this time. It not worth the fight.

I never said who or gave contact info. I am playing by the rules like I should.

I am just sharing my fun and info along the way.

Now, where are those golf clubs?

+1 There are plenty of ways to get in touch with the tuner that do not violate the forum rules. If you can't figure at least one of them, then maybe you shouldn't be running the head.

We can talk info all we want....

but I guess there are a few names that we can't post....

anyway, I've been following the progress for a while, and it's nice to see it get to market. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is pretty detail oriented, and doesn't skip steps.

Way cool! It sounds like this "5-piece" solution is going to be a killer combo pack from your tuner. Hopefully they're keeping detailed notes for the next guy!

I'm amazed you're getting such gains without an ECU flash, that's just awesome! Can't wait to hear about the next steps!

Its called a revolution head. I'm not 100% on the cost, but I'm in the process of getting one rigt now and it should run somewhere between $2500 to $3000 for the head + cam + software... Another thing to note is that these mods are going to be 100% compatible with this company's future mods...

Keep an eye out, because there are some incredible products on the horizon.

Longboard picked up almost 40 whp with the head only. Add in the newly designed cam and some tuning and that number should be north of 60 whp. Pretty damn good for $3000 and not going turbo.

I'm very anxious to learn more about your specific set-up as things progress. Please do keep us posted Longboard, not only on the dyno progress but general drivability changes.
