I talked to Trevor at Hillside Honda today he is thinking about another batch of heads but needs to know what kind of interest their is in them he don't want to do another 10 heads then just sell 2 of them, I don't blame him.

He also wants to do the next batch as billet heads not cast, the new billet heads would be the same as the old heads, same look same physical size, I told him the need for it to look like the cast heads because most people like the look and I have to admit it looks like it belongs their, his intentions were to improve on the design by doing them all billet and CNC, he can control the material quality better unlike a casting that can be hit or miss, he also can improve on the quality of the finish, he wants to add some enhancements to increase it ability to cool even better than the cast heads do by internally and externally adding more cooling fins, cooling fins adds more surface area to absorb and dissipate heat.

He said he will stop by here when he gets a chance to see if their is a interest and he will post some screen captures of the head in the CNC program, hopefully to show what changes he is thinking about, once he does this that would be a good time for others to give their input.

He assumes their will be a price increase in the heads, he needs to finish writing the CNC program then get current prices on billet aluminum.

So how many would be interested in a Hillside Honda Head, need a show of hands, serious hands only please, I am sure I would want one too but lets face it I don't own a 350 so probable would not be buying one no matter how well they look and work heh

Who ever has a Hillside Head please give your feedback and post pics of your current head, might be a good time for current owners to upgrade to the new billet head, gain the benefits of more cooling surface area then sell your old head to recoup cost? A used head would also benefit someone on a tight budget.
:-) a win win situation for 2 people.
