Bryce stated he gets the Procomps Bare and installs his own seats and guides, my Airwolfs are the dyno pair and (assuming they are representative to the production sets)I have zero issues with the quality of the hardware or metallurgy with my own set.
I'm hoping Bryce will get through the rough patch and get the supply up to the demand, in my own dealings with him he has been very professional and takes his client's product satisfaction very seriously.
Tell me which part of getting heads out to someone who is blowing up his business phone, his cell phone, his e-mail, and his facebook, but ignoring a customer who placed his order a month earlier, and was charged a month earlier could be considered "professional"? Actions, or in this case inaction, speaks far more loudly than words.

Billy, I only stated what my own personal experiences have been, every word I stated was true as to my own transaction on the Airwolf Heads I bought from Bryce. I have no doubt what you say is true but I think that Bryce probably hit an unforseen shipment rough patch and likely (quite unintentionally) your transaction got caught-up in it. Seems it's happened to all of us at one time or another but most times it gets set-right, that said, I do hope Bryce will get it all squared-up as best as possible with you soon

Personally the wait wouldn't bother me as much as the lack of communication.
IMO communication is the first step in good customer service. In this electronic age it's simpler than ever.

NB I'm also after a port matched manifold and a "big inch" small block - something along the lines of an R3 block with a BPE crank and a solid Roller. I want a pretty big lazy motor that doesn't have to rev its tail off to make power.
Slightly off topic but anyone know a good source for nice short per my description above? Was thinking Bryce or Hughes (also thought about Indy but they don't seem to have a good rep for issue resolution) but I don't want the $$$ to get out of control...

Seriously, Brian at IMM (IMMengines.com) If I'd have just taken him my X block, the 4.125 BPE kit(beautiful kit, and while it took a little longer than expected to get, Rod was in constant contact with us), and my set of worn out 90K miles Edelbrocks, I'd have 575 Hp sitting between the fenders right now, instead of being jerked around like this!

Well, After he PM'd me (per above) I responded to him saying that once you have a total price let me know and I'll provide my CC number. I was thinking that it would happen fairly quickly.
I hadn't had response so I started ringing again. Then emailed him and contacted him via the Dr J's website.

I had a response from Bryce this morning (My time)saying to ring his cell phone so I'll try that later tonight (big time difference between Australia and California). Hopefully we'll be able to stitch something up ASAP as its dragging on a bit.

Try Tony at Brinks Performance in Townsville. He won't let you down.

I'm just on the outside looking in Pittsracer... I met Billy and his family at a Mopar Shootout in Tuscon years ago and he's a guy you want in your circle. No bs, true to his word, and a handshake means something. Though I seldom see him, I consider him a friend... enough to go to bat for him. I had just noted on Dr. J's facebook page that they had noted that their were more heads done and that they were "overwhelmed" with responses for them. I responded that Billy had been patiently waiting for some time with no response, or heads and they replied to me. I posted those results here. I went on again tonight (not looking like Billy facebooks, or at least with Dr. J) and they replied within an hour... so again, I posted the reply. At this point, making it "public" will at least show that just maybe Dr J's is trying the best that they can... I don't know jack diddly about their operation. I hear it's a "one man show" and the service for Billy would so far reflect that... that's assuming that the "one guy, overwhelming demand", scenario is what's going on here. I just hope he gets his heads soon and he's able to adapt to the "small block boys club". He's been trying really hard to fit in. I'm thinking he's thinking this is all some kind of strange initiation to the "Small block Mopar" club....though I'm not going to let him in on the secret handshake
