[QUOTE=mike leech;5137890]Somebody is projecting...
nice dodge of they question i asked you....your ego won't let you say it because it would show your lack of experience or competence and ruin your self image...I understand how fragile your ego is.
mine dropped a valve..I did not properly ensure radial clearance. I clearly stated that at the time in the dyno thread that I checked depth but rushed and did not check with clay also. Look it up. I did not blame anyone else or hide the truth I even posted pictures for all to see.
I'm making sense, just not agreeing with you so you don't understand what it means....
Don't be so sure of your yourself or your advantage.....you still have to run the thing without it dying and parts do break...in the real world where racing happens.

You sure are stretching the conversation a bit....
Go back and read my last response. I told you exactly what I’ve done, no issues with my ego. Its the truth, I said it earlier. I’ve never been fast.
Started my build in 2009-2010. Took a couple years to get the chassis done and everything put back together. All the while I was buying/building all of my parts to finish the engine. Finished the engine first so I put it on a dyno in 2011 ( I think). I had less than stellar results because I purchased a used set of eheads that I never should have bought. I also assumed the dyno operator knew more than me so I paid him to tune it for me. He failed because of his so-called knowledge of the FAST classic system.
I didn’t force him to tune the engine in open loop following the TPS like I did before he got it. I should have been more forceful and demanded it. But I’m paying him $1500 so he should know best right....
He let it get lean because he was trying to run it in closed loop while running methanol. Unfortunately that doesn’t work with the classic system. EGT's got above 1300° and it was still climbing when it torched the head.
So in other words my inexperience and his over-confidence hurt my engine. I decided to buy the cv-1's and it took me a year to get the heads and all of the hot/cold side tubing made up to fit them. Everything I built for the eheads was scraped.
In the mean time I put the car together and built another engine to take on drag week. We didn’t get it finished until we got to the track on Sunday. I pushed it way to hard and made some shortcuts just to make it. That caught up to me and I didn’t make the next day.
See- I’m human and have no issues talking about my experience with fast cars.
Did that help make your point?
Did I call out every person in this post? Nope, I just alluded to racing Lil Jack and Kinsler. It’s all an observation.
Ok let’s move on to the next subject. You are one dumb MF'r if you think I would interview someone like I respond to you posts on the internet. I explained the technique, I didn’t say I direct the entire interview that way. Geesh you are slow, do I need to detail everything out to you? Typical Ops manager
Ive already been to the track. Ive also put at least 200 miles on the street. Im sure I'll be fine until I break it again.
