Can we hear about RMW R50 headers?

There's been some talk but no real info released and us R50 guys are curious as this is the first big thing to come down along with the Jebus head. Maybe some info on....price? Or possible a pic or 2? Maybe even a dyno result if you've had time to test them. I've been telling people to check into them but I'm sure we'd all love to see where he's at with them.

Come on Jan...stop wasting time on silly drag racing mini projects and finish testing our head, header, and stroker!

And hook me up with a better job so that I can afford any of the above listed items!

The wait is killing me

Not trying to put any pressure on Jan but is there also a R50 cam in the works?

I've been saving my "pennies" ... not that we have those here.

my guess would be similar to the S
$400 for the cam
$850 for the shorty
I have the jig it's just a matter of changing tubing size and collector sizing

It takes time... Jan is probably not going to release one piece before the R and D work is done on the entire package.

Any news on this Jan? I'm VERY interested on the cams, and if I'm not mistaken you mentioned an intake manifold too? That interests me a lot too!

Also, will the cams be optimized to work with the Jesus Head, or will they give good results with any head, particularly big valve ones (but not as big as the Jesus)?

He is working on a head, header and cam package. Should be awesome when its done. But this exchange rate is killing me now

Is anything out yet about the head specs? Particularly, the size of the valves?

Anyway yes, this exchange rate is not very favourable for me either, I'm in Italy and the Euro/US dollar ratio is about 1.35, when only a couple months ago it was 1.60, much better for us European buyers,
