I'm not a realist, I'm an Inliner!
I'll never be able to afford a $4000 head but I'd like to have access to the things I can pay for. I bid on the last one of those timing covers I saw on eBay and didn't win. It came at a bad time for my meager funds but I've been waiting for more. I realize that when we buy a part we are paying for much more than the part it's self. I sell $ .25 items for $25 all day at work and understand R&D, supply, demand, production, packaging, labor, shipping, handling, wholesale, retail, floor space, profit, etc. But I also understand when things are made to be unavailable it drives the price up. With the exception of lump port heads, I can't remember the last piece of inline speed equipment that I saw go unbid on on eBay and most went for more than a fair price. I guess it's the price we pay to be different. I just can't afford to be that different!
