Swiftune don't seem too give much information on cylinder heads on there site, I know they build fantastic full race engines, but do they do stuff for road/occasional competition as well?


They do stuff for fast road too, take the SW5 cam and their range of clutches and flywheels for example. They don't really do off the shelf heads though, you'd have to give them a call and I'm sure Nick would sort you out if you told him roughly what you are after :-)

I'm aware of the SW5 cams, and its intended usage! :P
When I said road use I was referring to there cylinder heads and engine builds, maybe I wasn't clear! Ah well! :P

I realsied that, don't worry!

Anyway, I don't think they do off the shelf heads, I think you would have to spec one

Never quite understood this off the shelf thing with heads. You are letting someone else decide the spec for you rather than going to a head fettler who will do what exactly what you need. Mine was done in a couple of weeks to my exact spec (which was checked and agreed when I left it). It was more expensive (although the exhaust and inlet manifolds were also worked on) but the quality of work was excellent.

I have no connection with Brett Simms' business other than as retail customer but I very pleased I chose him. Brett and Kellie really did go the extra mile to fit in with my requirements and time scale and whilst others will no doubt be as good, I was very pleased with the service. If it goes as well as it looks.....
