Yes ... if performance is more important to the buyer than money.
But as of this moment you only have my word to go on. I've seen early dyno testing results, and they are very very good. I'm personally excited about Scotts heads, excited enough that I'm selling off a bunch of stuff so I can purchase a set myself. As the heads get into the hands of enthusiasts, as engines are built, dyno tested, and raced ... I think they are going to win a lot of converts.
Scott's heads are designed by Darin Morgan of Rehr Morrison Racing Engines, and will be faithfully reproduced using CNC machining. This is why they will cost more than simply cast heads. There's a big difference between an out-of-the-box CNC machined Scott Cook head and his competition's head.
And Scott's second generation dual plane intake manifold is going to blow people away ... no dual plane intake manifold has the amount of development time/money/technology behind it this one does.
The good news is .... Scott's heads are in production! He is machining heads to fill pre-orders as I write this. I'll be posting the latest batch of pictures either later tonight or tomorrow.
