Mike,
You should work here-you've got our next step figured-out, a good marketing plan and you write a pretty nice ad for our stuff
As soon as the next batch of tests concludes, I'll weigh the thing after it's drained and post here. Bill wants it to stay on the dyno and the head swap began today (on the dyno) for the 18 deg, 235 runner. It will run tomorrow. I'm guessing it will weigh about 380 or 390 (our Merlin BBC is 475). Our bare iron 9.5 weighs 223 with billet caps, the 8.2 is 188 and the bare aluminum weighs 108 with billet caps and sleeves. I'm also guessing the new heads will out-flow the current cam (lifts in the 620's and dur. in the 260's) and demand a cam change. Oh, and then we test the 10 deg 285cc "sewer" sized head.
I will definitely push for a member discount program to spur sales and post the results of that. A show of interest when we're closer to release can do wonders.
Finally, thanks for the kind words.
