Not that I know of - I bought them a few years ago but have taken ages to get to the stage to put something together.

Posting for interest only.

Funny this got brought up again, because I was wondering why someone didn't step in and buy Bryce out, then try to keep the AirWolf name and products going. Since then I've been watching this whole Keith Black debacle unfold, and it's abundantly clear why they let it die on the vine!!

As far as the heads... three torturous Drag Weeks, running down back roads at temps between 210 and 230 for over 3200 miles. Zero issues, heads are still dry. 10.39-128 motor, 9.65-138 bottle 300/600 flat tappet cam.

I remember you getting somewhat nervous Billy.... you have one of the few sets running I'm betting.

Yep Prop Comps - There was some conjecture as to whether they were the standard casting or a modified version.

I seem to remember Bryce talking about a couple of changes he asked Edelbrock to make to their casting but they wouldn't, so he went to Pro Comp.

It would be interesting to see if he or someone else has the AIRWOLF CNC programme, esp if it was run on the std Pro Comp Casting.

The main issue I see with the AW heads, at this point in time is........ What if you damaged one bad enough to need another one?

For someone who already owns a set, that's a moot point. You just run em and hope for the best.
But if a few sets of "NOS" showed up in the market, I'd have to think about how deep I'd want my build to be based on something where a replacement wasn't available.

In that regard I put them in the same catagory as the Chapman Stage 6's...... Except for the price of course.

This is interesting. I know they are talking Chevy here but a partnership my be a partnership and you may be able to get these buying off Speier Racing Heads unless he screwed him too.

Those SBC heads are made from Profiler castings....... Which are readily available.

I'd be surprised if you couldn't still get those through Spierer..... Unless he's come up with something better since.

If they start out as Pro Comp heads, couldn't they be copied fairly easy?

I think I have the only other "known" set on moparts besides Billy. Mine were alledgedly the dyno set used on Dulcich's 408 dyno mule for the original magazine set.

No QC issues except for the fact that the springs Bryce said I got were nowhere near the advertised seat/open pressures stated on the Build sheet. So the second pass down the track they floated #2 intake valve which fortunately didn't cost me more than a tear down and a little emory clean up on the slug.

I called Bryce about it but got ZERO for a reply, no "my bad"....nada. But seeing them disassembled the Port work in the bowls, runners and even the chambers all looked great though. Wondered what they could flow with a PR relo/tube and maybe an offset intake rocker....maybe a legit 315-320? And the only thing that was borderline concerning QC wise was that the port roof to seat cup 'meat' in the casting was a little bit thin on the caliper measurement, but with But we put a new set of PAC's on them and I shift every run at 6800 with a 260/269@.050 .665/640 lift Solid roller Bullet cam.

This isn't a suggestion......... more like a thought that popped in to my head.......

It would make for an interesting dyno test session...... AW220 vs BPE heads vs Hughes Big Mouth vs some decent hand ported RPM's....... All on the same 422-ish roller cammed short block.

Bryce Mulvey is the new mouthpiece for CPP-Carrillo. Talk about landing on your feet!

He and his wife-to-be were on a reality TV program and lost something like 195 lb so they'd look good for their wedding.

Bryce was part of the team that built the Buick 400 for last year's Enginemasters. He ported the Edelbrock heads and called them Airwolf, so it looks like he wants to keep that name for himself. I wasn't aware that there was a CNC program for his Mopar heads. He also called himself Dr. J's at one time. You can see it in Fall 2016 Enginemasters.

If he were a stand up guy...... Which he's shown he's not......now that he's got a decent steady income......... He could start repaying all the people he's swindled out of their hard earned $$$, or start supplying the products they paid for.
It wouldn't have to be overnight...... But he could pick away at it.

Frankly, I'd have a hard time even doing business with CP at this point, knowing they hired someone with so little integrity.

There seems to be a small percentage of guys in the hobby who are grifters or scammers or maybe just big talkers who don't deliver. Guys who develop new heads or blocks but never seem to deliver anything other than a stream of excuses.

One nice thing about the internet is some of that behavior is now kept in check since anyone who knows how to use Google should be able to find out if they are dealing with a scammer or not.

Hang on a minute lads...do any of you actually know anyone who paid him, but didn't get what they paid for?

In my personal dealings with him he was a decent bloke.

Obviously, at the time he was going through a fairly traumatic separation/divorce with the custody of his young boy involved. He's no orphan in going through that, but I'm guessing it would've had a pretty big impact on his life at the time.

I think that was the major contributor to the issues I had contacting him, and him getting me what I was after. At the end of the day he did send me the heads, they were very good quality and I did get what I paid for. Yes, it was a pain in the neck but we got there in the end.

Like I said before its all a bit moot now, but if there are people with outstanding issues hes not exactly hard to find. For the blokes that are interested in getting a set of heads why not contact him and see if he's willing to get a set done for you?
