this must be a bash jeff fest.... well let me say i havent had a great last 2 years with health issues,, it looks up from here out,, but i did get behind... will i sacrifice some quality or level of care or treatment to get somebodies heads done,,, no,, they will have to wait a week or two or whatever,, does that mean mr stage 6 guy should wait two years no,, im sorry for that...ill get that worked out,, now with mike from muscle motors,, he is a friend and i talk to him often...
mr thumperdart,, you live in california,, how coul dyou work for me in michigan? youll move here for an entry level job?
the guy with the hemi heads who said he wanted them fully ported,, you told me how much power you wanted to make,, i gave you a head that would support that,, i felt bad for you that you paid somebody to do work to them that didnt matter and would have to pay me to do it all over again,, but then you should have bought them from somebody who knows something,, or anything about cylinder heads
sheep,,, thats a joke.....
with my health issues its just me at my shop,, im going to resolve that first of the year or around,, its hard to keep an employee or two while not being here or having no energy,, or other physical limiting things going on.... plus i have to raise my prices since i cannot hire somebody who can work as fast as i can,, and my work is set of hourly prices with me working on it,,,, if i do something that takes 2 hrs,, and i get 125 for it,, i hire a guy,, he takes 5 hrs to do it,, i have to get 200 to even try to make any money paying him 20 or whatever,, its hard for me to charge a guy like that...
anything else?

You could say a lot more???? Please do
If I remember you said you wanted 800 hp or something,, I thought I could give you the head to do that without redoing everything bob sold you,, you got your heads,, 6 months or so later you got it going and dynod it and it made what you wanted,, did you have somebody report them? You wanted to pay a grand for that extra 10 hp,, I didn't think your combo/ cam/ manifold/ would recognize or use "437" cfm

plus, like mentioned, they showed up before I even paid for them...It is a bummer that he's obviously had some issues getting heads back to others in a reasonable amount of time...
