So I'm still not sure whether I'll go the 2G option, or keep this puppy.  Anyways, what options do I have, when doing a top end rebuild, performance wise?  With the end goal of having 8500(+?) in revs, and getting more flow.

This just doesn't stop.  When I get things sorted out (sort of) I'll post more details :S

you can also get your head redone locally.  L&R does them, and I know that Mike at Kinetic knows these things as well.

While I know that Slowboy does have some trick stuff, its along way away, and the US buck is stronger than ours, shipping, duty, taxes etc etc add up quick.

Plus its nice to use local talent, especially when its as good as it is.

Any idea how much L&R or Kinetic would charge for a re-done head, John?
