Who to have Port Your head???
222 you are now in a market I understand with your examples [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] BTW, when talking computers it is the only time I would say you don't want HP [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Just my .02 there.
As for the other portion, that is what myself and many others have got to deside.

dragon and yjacket: I am in a position with computers where you guys are with engines. I use one everyday and know what I want it to do, I've even take a few apart. Got a few of them back together right. I've done upgrades that helped and upgrades that didn't help. I'm typing on a 1998 model HP that has been outstanding- never a virus, never a problem of any kind. On the other hand, my 2005 model top of the line laptop has been nothing but problems and the performance stinks in some areas. After all these years of problem free HP computers, Never again will I own a HP computer.
Now, I'm being told if I don't get a 64 bit computer, a top of the line 32 bit will be outdated before the year is out. All new programming will be 64 bit. And it needs to be dual core to run the powerful stuff on the internet today. This 1998 dinosaur has cable broadband, but it's slower than dial up. It is always locking up these days- just can't run with the new technology. I don't want to buy brand new technology and be a guinea pig- unlike engine builders, the computer companies don't get called to the mat when things don't work out. And I don't recommend you guys buy the first or 2nd of a new performance part that hasn't gone thru the paces of testing.
I will go more in depth elsewhere - let's make this a treasure hunt- see if you can find it!

yjacket: that's not bad estimating. Some of the easiest and first hp/dollar stuff is around $100/hp. After that, it just gets higher and higher until I'm spending $1000 for that last 2 hp.
Basic BajaX: just another one of those situations where you get the prototype stuff hand built, then finding time to test and tune it (and not at a big race- you want to go with what you know works), then finding someone to build it for you in quantities so it's affordable (and I use that term loosely!), then money and deposits, then getting them to build a prototype and inspecting/testing their copy, then .....ugh, this is wearing me out....
It seems like this on every new product.
Dragon: good, I've been getting good info.

Ron Wood has impressive gains.
I don't have any first hand info on HPR so others can chime in. . .
I'ld bet that most of the guys above send theirs out to someone and have them do the work but, I could be wrong.
Let us know what you find and go with for future reference.
I'll let you know how my buddies build goes. . . will probably be a few months. . . he's got some scars on the cylinder and needed a new piston so, he's going with a 102mm bore and the head work. 12.5:1 compression and Race 7 cams.
