Be patient boys
Todd has them on the way--It Always takes longer than they say or tell us--A nice head that is TOP quality for very reasonable price is on the way--
I am guessing like the Sidewinder more than a few folks will buy a pile of them to sell--That is all good --From what I have seen resembles heads that are out there now--amazing CNC'd seats etc--excellent quality castings for LESS $ so....

HotrodDave,
The ones Hughes and many others are selling are ProComp
They look similar in some photos but there are several differences
I am waiting on getting a pair of the Sidewinder small blocks here.

I have seen the ProComp heads. They look similar to the RPM heads but I haven't had one long enough to flow test it.
I won't sell ProComp stuff because the seats and guides last a few passes and need replacement.
The Sidewinder /,Promaxx come through with much better quality seats and guides. I'm dying to get them in here in a small block version.

I am not sure if these are the same castings, they most likely are just with a different name like the big block ones. But these guys have them in stock http://www.performance-world.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=63171
