We don't race flow sheet's, Dyno's or Calculators.

All, this is is a discussion, it doesn't mean SH_T, just something to pass the time away. The ECM and others use to do it all the time, If I recall.........not so much anymore.

Their mechanical full pump kicks butt and it's the best pump per dollar spent on the market. They offer a complete line of manifolds and valve covers. They changed the machining process on their heads so the valley pans fit and seal better. It doesn't require trimming the pan or grinding the manifold to make them fit (let's see how soon the other manufacturers make that change). They even offer a quality aluminum water pump for our cars along with several dress up items... not to mention the most powerful dyno'd Pontiac head on the planet!
Really.......valve covers and water pumps, oh forget you're a street guy. LOL!

Don't see it that way but I made my point so I'm happy.
All the thread was about was how the fast guys are trading in the e heads for something else. What happened to the thread after that wasn't my fault.

This "head war" stupidity is old and tired. But unfortunately it will go on because this is a Pontiac only site. If there were Ford, MOPAR and off brand GM racers here then we could fight with them, there are not so we eat our own. Like a bunch of goldfish in a little tank, killing each other to show dominance, eventually there are only a couple of goldfish left and owner gets tired of buying new fish and flushes what's left away.

I can't help reading all of these head wars threads....it's like watching a train wreck.

The only real effect it has on me is lowering my opinion of certain people. If that's the intent, it's working.

Lets see now:

George vs Tom V.
George vs the ECM
George vs Mike Leech
George vs Dragncar
George vs Paul K.

Think you hit the nail on the head on this one.

That being said, NOTHING is going to change because it is an advertisement for GTOGEORGE and the Farmers.

That is a fact. None of the other forums have this "advertising" (All about You) issue.
(Except for maybe the boost forum where if you are not running a Roots Blower with zoomies you are not worth chit.) Who runs a Roots Blower with Zoomies?

99% of the other forums actually HELP other members with their projects.
The .0005% guy in the Boost Forum and Race Forum doesn't offer any help to anyone.
It is all about Him.

So you have posted a TRUTH there Paul. Not Fake News.

Leech was on a mission. He made it happen. His biggest detractor was the "all about me" guy. Dragncar has a mission, his turn now in the barrel. ECM guys got their time in the barrel. I don't Bracket Race, my time in the barrel.

The E-Head thread was just an attempt to advertise for the farmers, keep his name out there, and detract from Dragncar's mission. Can't have someone else talking about their program, has to be all about the farmers and their products and Mr "All about Me".

I speak TRUTH Kemosabe! Last post on this thread.

After watching the ecm guys run last weekend I walked away with much respect for them. Head wise there was a set of E heads on one car. One running tiger heads and 2 sets of billet heads. All of the head designs ran well. No bs these are not stupid people behind keyboards trying to become something they are not. Beautiful cars with current technology and educated people turning the screws.
