Same here, depending on cost. I don't run my car hard enough to really need them, but it would make me feel better to have them, even if I never install them.

Awdtuning replied- they ceased production of these because they never caught on.

To be honest, it looks like their solution required some work to the head. It looks like their retainer is held in place with a fastener.

I received a reply from Dennis- he is willing to do some sort of a group buy, with a caveat- he'd want to ship them to one address, and that person would be responsible for shipping them to the other buyers in the US.
I would certainly feel apprehensive about leaving my fate in the hands of someone else, so I understand if this is a turn off- you could certainly e-mail him individually, but the answer is yes- they will ship to the US. If anyone is interested in getting one and doesn't mind trusting me to ship to you when I get mine, let me know. Contact - Dennis@Denstoj.com.au |

No requisite, just that he'd far prefer to ship any quantity to one location to save on shipping cost/reliability. Pretty sure he'll sell them individually.
He said if people want to buy as a group, he just needs to know how many and he'll send a quote |

Count me in as being interested in a group purchase. This, in addition to an IAG stage 1 or 2 built short block would make these engines a whole heck-uv-a lot more reliable for everyday street and occasional track use.
