    Dont mean to highjack a thread, but does anyone know when that new aluminum head FSP is working on will be available? I sure am curious about the price...

    clifford and ford six performance are really the only places out there to get hipo i6 stuff, its pretty pricey but both have very good quality stuff, cams valve covers, 2bbl conversion kits, header. rebuild kits. turbos are also a very popular mod. The i6 has a very strong bottom end for that type of modification
