They are probably purple hornies, a fried of mine has a couple of those but without the turndown tips (just bottles) they are pretty loud.

Oklahoma,
They have a pretty good reputation at making race heads. The trademark must have run out (?) or GM would be sueing their pants off for using the word "Vortec". Look to me like a much better head than GM's due to the added metal. GM needs to do this too. |

I also checked for a patent on Vortec cylinder heads and found nothing so I suppose this company is good to go. If anybody wants to search for themselves or would just like to snoop around.... http://www.uspto.gov/

The good thing about the USPTO site is that you can get detailed drawings and descriptions of some of the best technology in the world. The drawings and specs are so detailed that you could even replicate them for your own personal use as long as you don't sell it. If one had the time and the means it would save money to build some things yourself. |
