you will also have to have the neck where the spiggot fits into machined to fit the rb250, as the spiggot is bigger than a 200 barrel, you probably already know this, great kit by the way.

went to rayspeed today and had a look at the new rb heads, similar to the ron moss avanti head, but has some extra vanes thant go towards the barrel, and some vents next to the vanes, comes with a hole for a temp gauge and all exhausts will fit, ben told me that temperatures take a lot longer to rise than a standard head, and dont get so high, it also cools down much quicker than the standard head, will not fit onto an avanti barrel as the extra vanes would get in the way.
