Not sure why I stopped updating the blog at that point but most likely it was lack of free time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the good news is the VVT system works. I have over 7500 miles on my head and it\u2019s doing great. The VVT is cool but the complexity of it plus the additional costs involved makes it at the far end of what I would recommend doing. There is a lot more bang for the buck you can get and the KN20 makes a ton of power on it\u2019s own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have sold a total of ten heads. Unfortunately outside of mine only 3 of them have been completed and are on running motors. Not the fault of the heads but the realities of how long it can take to build performance engines. SN005 is on the road and has over 10K miles on it. SN010 is on a Z Car Garage build. It\u2019s on the road but I\u2019m not sure what kind of miles are on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So that is where things stand at the moment. Like a lot of things the pandemic has slowed\/stopped momentum on sales but I\u2019m seeing movement again. I\u2019m in production on 5 more heads and 3 of those are already sold so I can\u2019t really complain about that. I\u2019m making some interesting changes to the head and the process so I will try and keep things current going forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Derek<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So it\u2019s been a while since I updated my blog and I wanted to bring it up to date.
