Great news! It finally looks like someone is doing some R&D on stock 3.4 heads and may produce/sell aftermarket worked heads.

For anyone that wants more power and doesn't have but basic knowledge of engines, Heads are what determine HP. You can only go so large with a cam grind until a larger grind will not matter. what will allow for more power is higher flow through the heads. If the head will allow only so much flow, it doesn't matter how high the valves open.

This is the first I have seen of anyone further developing the heads of our motors for general aftermarket availibility.

He hasn't listed any prices but is still talking on larger 1.8" intake valves and experimenting further with possibly relocating the vanes in the intake ports for even better flow. This take someone with the MEANS and WILL to do this R&D. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

Would these heads works on a 3.1 or 2.8? Or only if I replaced my 3.1 with a 3.4? I appologize for my ignorance. But this sounds very interesting.
