Where to get Pro Lightning heads???

It seems neither Jeg's nor Summit carries these any longer, even though they are both listed on procylinderheads.com . I called Summit and the guy I talked to really liked them, but I'm not finding it easy to find them. So.... :-D

Nobody knows where to get these heads? So many of you guys raved about them.

Already called them. They only have the 72cc 180s and the 64cc 200s. I want the 64cc 180s.

Since when did Summit stop carrying them?

I will check at home for the place that I bought mine from. I can't remember off hand. I got them off an auction on Ebay. But they were a distributor for them.

Also try racepartsstore.com

I called Summit on Tuesday and they said they stopped carrying them. They're also not on the site anymore.

The last catalog was printed before they dropped them from the lineup.

Do the S/R Torquers flow anywhere near the Pro Lightnings?
