I need to take something back I said in my last post. Brandon/440 Source, doesn't really belong in the other group as, and correct me if I'm wrong, but he made parts already being produced, just cheaper. The others engineered, or paid people to engineer parts that advanced the Mopar race parts selection. I'm not saying his stuff isn't good for some applications, but not for me. JMO Uhh, we designed our Stealth cylinder head. We paid roughly the cost of a house to manufacture the tooling. Look at this head from the side, front or back and it looks like no other aftermarket head. If anything, it actually looks like a stock head which is what it is made to resemble. The chamber is 80cc's. No other aftermarket Mopar head comes with an 80cc chamber. But on Moparts, we "don't really belong in the other group" (of cylinder head manufacturers) because we "made parts already being produced, just cheaper." Who exactly was making our Stealth heads before we were? Gotta love Moparts. 
running up my post count some more .

You realize you are replying to a post that is over [EDIT]Twelve[/EDIT] years old   Moparts has been around for a LONG time and has had many different people on it. Please don't paint all of us with the same brush. Being less sensitive to criticism (from 2012  ) will help you sleep better at night. Lastly, always remember

I run your stuff, and I couldn't afford this hobby without the products you make. I have purchased a ton of your 512's a couple 526's and one 543 rotating assemblies from you over the years. Much appreciate it.

A trip down moparts memory lane. Not super fast but I went 8.40’s@160 mph with their rods and pistons. And 8.60’s with their rods, crank, and pistons. That assembly is still running strong in a street car 15 years later.
