I actually had that guy call here a few months back. It was the most "one sided" conversation I ever had with anyone during my nearly 65 years on this planet. He's so "full of himself" makes you want to PUKE! 99 percent of the conversation was him telling me how great he was, how things should be done, how he does it, and even when he did ask questions he very quickly answered them himself and agreed with the findings. I said very little as I figured out in about .5 milliseconds of our conversation that this guy is a nutter and no amount of information I'd provide would be a complete waste of my time and energy.
He pushes those STOOPID tuning methods all over the place, and actually believes they work or at least are better than the way anyone else does it.
I woln't mention any names but he's not to hard to find if you go looking for him and in his life span has become a LEGEND.......in his own mind!........FWIW......

My experiences with many if not most people in those Facebook groups are about the same. FB is not the place to learn about much of anything. Unfortunately, there are blowhards on there that draw a huge audience and lure people into the wrong areas with bogus information. I've even seen FB posts from "supposed" experts listed in the GTOAA and POCI publications telling others of things that are horribly incorrect. This tells me that the prerequisites to become one these "experts" must be low. I mention this group many times to people that want to learn about Pontiacs and everything about them. Hopefully some take my advice and join our group here. FB can be a lot of fun but a great deal of the information there must be looked at with a skeptical eye!!!
