my bottom end is at R&R now getting hooked up before I step up to a 117. Timken, h beams, plug, weld, true and balance. Not cheap!

Also, if you do use one of his kits make sure you get a reputable tuner. A good tune and it'll rip... Bad tune & you'll wish you never touched it.

Head-quarters web site does have a customer help forum, it's on their site.... Good luck

I though Doug retired 5-10 years ago.. Someone else took over.

My dealer got my HQ-107-PK through them, Doug was still working as far as I know ... That was 2014. Maybe your thinking Kevin Baxter of Power Twins down in Georgia ? He was/is a distributor and installer of HQ products.

I seem to remember some talking about out it in the time frame I mentioned. It may be that he tried, got bored and came back. don't know.. I remember Doug discussing this when the Yahoo news groups were still going. Wasn't Kendall Johnson the main guy in the US up until he started doing his own heads?

Max; I do rember a guy by the name of " Kevin Baxter' I believe . He was working in Georgia somewhere and company was called power twins. He was exclusive distributor for Head Quarters products in the U. S. I have heard of Kedall Johson, very well renowned builder and very talented. I always thought he was real big into S & S products. Either we great builders , both people .
