The impression I got from David was that the Pierce head simply did not
flow air well. I will get an exact explanation from David when he
returns. If you are happy with your aluminum head, it won't make any
difference what I or David says anyway.

We are talking $ for $. I have no doubt that David can build a better
head.
The question is can he sell it for the same price?
I don't care what David says the Aluminum is a performance head right out
of
the box. Not the best there is but pretty good, plus there is the
weight
difference and the cooler running. They certainly cannot compete
with
David's top heads but they are half the price.
BTW it's Pierce.

I have talked extensively with David Anton about the Pearce
aluminum
heads. David stated the aluminum heads do not flow as well
as a well
prepared cast iron head. David has run the Pearce head on
the flow bench
and says the flow machine proves this out. The Midget
project engine
David
is building for Classic Motorsport magazine was specified by the
magazine
to
have a Pearce head. The editors of the magazine thought the
the Pearce
head was a high performance head right out of the box just as
everyone
else
assumes. The flow bench does not lie. David says
he is going to
build both heads (aluminum and cast iron) so he can show them
the
performance
difference. Any other questions, you can direct them to
David when he
returns from the UK. He told me that you can get a hold of
him by his
eMail address, but his own employees are saying that he is not
answering
questions from them right now. Maybe he does not have as
easy access to a
computer as he thought he would have.
