    Has anyone heard from from Eddi at Trickflow?

    The last time I heard from him was on the December 14th.

    I believe they were finishing up machine work on the heads (new revision, better airflow, maybe 10HP more) and they would possibly be ready the week before xmas. Im sure with the holidays, people taking days off and such timeline got pushed back a little.

    If you early racers need the parts ASAP and Im in the queue before you feel free to take mine as I need them in Feb sometime.

    Talked to Ed today. The new heads are most likely less than a week away now. They need to do some QA checks on them first, but should ship out shortly after.

    Just spoke with Eddi at Trick Flow. There is a problem with the castings for the new heads and they have been back and forth with their supplier several times trying to get them right. Bottom line is it will be another month before the new heads are ready. BUMMER! West Coast season starts soon, and I am half way through the suspension upgrade already. Now my car is not legal in eiher class! It may be a slow start to the new season.

    As I understand it every change is optional in FFRC-2012 so you don't have to run the new engine with the new suspension and brakes. You can NOT run a hybrid engine so it would have to go back to being completely stock. You can NOT run any of the new changes in FFR2 though, so any change you have made automatically puts you on the '12 spec. At least that is the way I understood it.

    I will probably get the car out with the new suspension and brakes anyways just to see how it feels.

    Well it looks like the first race on the West Coast will be all brakes and suspension.
    Just got my package today from FFR and the conversion begins. Just hope the old engine
    still has some life in it for one last hard run.

    Would like to at least get the cam so I can get the bottom end finished when I have time this winter as that will be the worst part of the engine upgrade.
