Default Announcement: IB has valvetrain, coming soon, heres the specs:

We have a dual spring similar to the toda that can handle up to 14 mm of cam lift. The pressures are as follows, installed @34 mm you have 70 LBS. on the seat and @ 10 mm of lift the open pressure is 185 LBS. so @ 13 mm of lift you should have around 210 Lbs open.

So its a stiffer spring geared for people that want to rev their motor 9,000 RPM + and who want to use larger cams, such as Toda, Skunk 2 or Crower.

The spring set, with Ti retainers will retail for: $425 and that includes the Titanium Retainers.

We needed to come out with our own valvetrain because we are finding that the future generation of Honda Import Enthusiasts will want to rev past 10,000 RPM.

So the valvetrain was born.

IB Spec valvetrain. Coming in weeks.

Jeff

Nice. You make it really hard for a guy to stick to his word and not build another motor...

I can't say, its a big name though. I will tell you that.

Alot of big name companies won't tell me where they make their stuff. I can see why now.

I pay alot of money, get a custom spec item made for me, its a way better deal in the long run.

Sounds pretty promising Jeff. Picking out my parts seems to be getting easier and easier Now all you need to do is get your own grinds for cams and you'll be set.

Thats what I was thinking Phil.

IB cams.

Problem with that is they are VERY expensive to mass produce. And I don't have that kind of capital.

I think it costs about 30k to start.
