Anybody try them yet? They look promising.

The Panchito head seems a little over the top. Hard enough to get the available intake manifolds to match up with round ports, let alone D ports.

I do have the 044 heads on my engine though. Haven't flown them yet.

They have Panchito heads with the standard round port design.

I however did receive an email back that they do not do dual spark plug machine work so it would have to be sent elsewhere.

Anything has to be better than the Empi heads I got with my Aerovee. After 30 hrs I had to regrind the exhaust valve seats, they were warped badly.
