Hey Potterman is listed as a dealer for them you should ask him if they
do as they claim.

Well, it sooooounds good, but it's pricey. Might get more sales with a
lower price point and make up the perceived difference in profits in
greater volume.

I like the idea, but I'm concerned the head will be just as hot as
always and the heat needs to go somewhere so, will it really work? Any
dyno graphs for proof? Hmmmm.
