Now I am really curious where they are being cast and machined.

could it be they've set up for Hurricane production, which'll use the same block material?
The original thread started out wondering why the CHI heads weren't seeing more purchases with the most recent results from a contest. I read the rules of that contest and it severely limits the heads that are allowed in. Race heads are specifically excluded. Some people are interested in performance for its own sake, many are here, but a large volume of customers will only be interested in re-creating a memory, and those memories will be of "pure" Clevelands or "Side-Oilers".
I don't mind that people don't know every lit bit of trivia about a subject. I get a little bent when they denigrate a competitor undeservedly though.
