So What's Going On with Precision Race Components?
We like to keep customers informed as to what is going on at PRC. There are a few great things happening, so I'll address them individually.
The first new addition to Precision Race Components is our full-time cylinder head specialist, Freddy. He is a graduate from both Universal Technical Institute and the School of Automotive Machinists. He was in the top 5% of both graduating classes, so he really knows his stuff. He specialized in automotive block and cylinder head machining, and he has worked in-depth with the LSx-based cylinder heads. He played a major part in developing the ports on Judson's LS6 cylinder heads that were used to run 9.1's naturally aspirated! He started working for PRC yesterday, and he will be doing all of the hand-finishing, assembly, and flowing of all cylinder heads. He will also be doing a lot of developmental work with various cylinder heads that we think everyone will be pretty excited about. We are not at liberty to discuss what is being worked on at this time for various reasons, but we will certainly keep customers in the loop as much as possible as we make added progress. All of the work (i.e. CNCing, hand-finishing, assembly, decking, flowing, etc.) will be done in-house, and all cylinder heads will ship out with a flow sheet in the box. We purchased a SuperFlow 600 flow bench, along with all of our other equipment. We have very stringent checks and balances in place, and if a cylinder head deviates more than three CFM from what we expect they will not ship out. As part of our continuing effort to provide the best products with the best performance, we will be experimenting with different valve brands, sizes, angles, back-cuts, various porting techniques, etc. While the cylinder heads perform very well in their current state, we are and will always be working to make the cylinder heads flow that much better. Having someone like Freddy with extensive cylinder head experience is just another step at making PRC's cylinder heads the best on the market, while also offering added reassurance that you're getting exactly what you ordered -- the best cylinder head for the best price. All current customers waiting to receive their cylinder heads will have them finished in-house with all work done by Freddy. We want all of the checks and balances in place for any cylinder heads leaving. The heads are already CNC'ed and in line for assembly. We are the first to admit that it has taken much longer than expected to get cylinder heads to customers, and we apologize for that. This is one of the many reasons why all of the work has been brought in-house. With 100% control, we will be able to give customers accurate ship dates on their cylinder heads. We are going to get all of the back-orders taken care of and be able to keep a few sets of cylinder heads on the shelf at all times so cylinder heads will be able to ship the same day!
Feel free to give us a call or e-mail one of us if you have any questions or concerns.
