S1 and S2 Dencos were the same, I hear. You just expanded your range, Jim ;)

Are you doing any work with Tony Nicosia ? I had a voicemail from him last week telling me that he is producing the tapered headers for the chambers :eh:

Tony and I are in contact, but I think he has something brewing on his own too.

Tony is working with a Japanese company called TSUKIGI racing, they are going to make 200 numbered sets of Denco/TNT tapered head chambers. He quoted me 2000$ for a set..

Thanks for that, Sverre. Tony told me that they were going to make something like half a dozen sets for a few guys in Japan, but I had the impression something else was brewing. That's quite a price.

Personally, I think Jim's Product is (slightly) undervalued......! :D

Tony called me last week as well (left voicemail) to let me know he was going to be doing pipes again.....
I figured he and Jim were doing something together since Jim mentioned that he "found a guy" in a post not long ago.

It will be interesting to see what the Japanese pipes turn out like! :thumbup: Albeit, just a "bit" out of my budget.

Cody, the guy I'm working with is a very experienced fabricator with a background in building things like winning Baja race cars. One set of S2 chambers is available now, and several more will be ready in a couple weeks. Late H1 chambers will be starting in about 2 or 3 weeks, and we're going to make those until everyone on the waiting list who still wants them gets them. Then on to early H1, H2, and S3, not necessarily in that order. We also have plans to do a version of all of them in stainless, but not until caught up on the carbon steel ones. For the time being, they will all have silencers of the Denco style, welded-on with easily replaceable packing.
