Default Billet Order

Billet now has their Ford 4 valve head order.
I too was upset, I sent a "Nuke" to Russ's area.
Somehow he remembered to ship their order, thank God.

Default Russ Arao apologies to customers who have waited

I Russell Arao apologize to those who have had to wait for their order.
Arao Engineering and Russell Arao have rectified the manufacturing problem with a manufacturing alliance with a large CNC manufacturing firm. This alliance has been much needed to alleviate a large "Bottleneck" in the manufacturing of its 32valve cylinder head products. This has been in the making for some time, and is now tooled up and manufacturing product. We tried to keep all manufacturing in house up until recently, but the decision was made to outsource. This helps alleviate some major problems in the delivery to customers of its product. I truly apologize to those customers who have had to wait. The significance of this alliance is stated here. The Facts are:

1) Old backorders of product to waiting customers are being taken care of FIRST.

2) Every model of cylinder head is being manufactured to be in stock. All Chevy and Ford.

3) With manufacturing outsourced, engineers can devote more time to Research and Development of its product.

The first backorder to be shipped with this new alliance went to Kevin Gall of Billet Racing. This was a special one off Blown Alcohol 32v Ford Cleveland head. With special 6 studs per cylinder and "O" ringed intake ports. A "Bad Ass" set of heads that most engine builders predict will produce well over 2000 HP on blown alcohol. We will make this data available when available to us.
Ongoing Horsepower comparisons are being conducted on other models and figures will be published.
You guys deserve the truth and to be informed, and you will get it.
Thank You
Russ Arao

hmmm we have seen suppliers appoligize publicly in this forum before.. and then do nothing.. so while i personally think its really nice that you chime in here, and its even better that you have recognized where to elliminate the problem. I still say "show me the money" keep us posted on whats going on.. On a more pleasant note; Congratulations on making the transition from in house and small to big league.. I hope it goes smoothly and you manage to do so while honoring past agreements, make money and keep quality high...

hope everyone end up with what they ordered,

and lastly.. could you post some specs and pics on the LSx head??

Anyone ever actually RUN a set of these ? or seen them on a car running?
Do they have reliability/durability issues?
