Nexus,

Here's the bottom line on all of this. Webb is a great cam company, I enjoy working with them. The problem with this motor of ours is not even Webb can make the springs or custom ground Buckets to make their cams work. They can make you a awsome cam grind to what ever you like but then your on your own for the rest. Webb likes to use Vance&hines to do this other work but after talking with Joe V. from Vance & Hines they don't want the aggervation of this head with so little demand in their eyes.

People are bad mouthing Gude on the issue of no proven dyno numbers and the way he operates and People think his web-site is crappy.

Like I've always said a picture is worth a thousand words and so is pretty packaging. Which is what most people need to see to feel secure in their purchase.

Gude is old school, no facy box, no 800 number, no huge sales staff standing by. It's him and his wife and a few employees. If you take the time to look up Bill Gude you will see he is a Aerospace Engineer and has done numerous military projects and has been in the performance business for 20 years.

They take the family approach with their customers no fancy bullshit just straight talk. The people that have gotten 1NZ-FE head packages from him have also taken them apart and are now having problems putting them back together. Like the guy from this site that got one. I just talked to bill and he told me that this person had to send his stuff back in for reassembly because he took it apart for what ever reason and cant get the proper clearences now. So Bill "For free" is putting it all back for him. It's these things you don't hear about.

People consume them selves with a fancy label or a high-end sales team. One thing I do know from this racing busineess is that most of highest HP motors are done by shops and people you would never know. These guys are real secret like and don't care to sell to the masses. It's like Pro -Stock NHRA racing these guys that do the head and cams for these motors are so secret that good luck finding a guy to do one for you.

The other thing I've seen around here is patience is in no ones fore-thought when building a motor. It takes time and more time. The head from Gude that I'm getting will have taken 3 months to get done. I asked for the works sparing no short cuts. I want to report back to you guys with great results.

Now not eveyone will do what I've done but it will be a platform for all to work from.

So with my advice Bill Gude is still the number one guy to go to for this motor at this time.
