Default More info on "KG" Ported Head

I have a head ported by KG but I cant find any info on them. I know it is because its stamped by them on the right side of the head above the header. I have searched but cant find much on them. If someone could direct me to some info on them, it would be of a big help. TIA.

If you really need to contact him, you have a better chance posting this in Drag Racing Forum. Goodluck trying to get ahold of him.

I am also going to guess that it doesn't help being stuck in Nebraska, where as you West coast guys have some decent exposure and know the names like Kurt.
