here is the problem im having i bought a set of vitos 404 monoblock (which was a mistake) i sent it to rb racing had them drag ported the problem is the only head that will fit the cylinders is the vitos head and they dont make no smaller domes for it i was wondering if any one new who made domes for that head or who i could contact or what could i do to make the domes smaller

Dave Noss, who is also a site sponsor.

According to Vito's website, their heads/domes interchange with ProDesign and Noss....so I'd be surprised if other heads won't fit as well.

Couldn't ask for a nicer guy to deal with.

I have run vitos domes in my noss head. just an fyi

The Vitos Hemi-Head at one time had two locking tabs(I have not seen a Vitos head in a couple years now) These tabs are tabs that prevent the dome from rotating when removing a spark plug. Easy remedy was to grind off the extra tab from the head shell and you could run any of the PD type compatible domes with it.

Their 404 Monoblock uses a different heads and domes. The way I understand it, they don't sell that monoblock anymore. Vitos ordered some 20cc domes in July. Have you talked to them since then or are you looking for something smaller than 20cc? Ask for Lane when you call them.

If they can't help you give me a call, PM, or email.

concerning the standard type dome designs ,i was told another reason that vitos have the tabs was mostly an effort to slightly modify the design to prevent copyright problems with pro design corporation

Lane is the man at Vitos, helluva nice guy.

In regards to the Patent...you only have to change like 18 or 30% of the design for it to be considered (different)...that is the number 1 reason why people don't ever apply or follow through with the patent. Spend 10 to 20 K only to have someone copy your work, change it 20 to 30% and stamp their name on it....

That's why it's always best to patent the idea or the theory, not the actual part and it's dimensions.
