Langer and Kinsler? lol, is this a serious question? Like I said, Butlers and Kauffman have done more than anyone, because they keep the average pontiac guys car alive, even PY can be thrown in the mix, for they all supply parts the average guy can use.

The cheapest and probably best thing they provide is exposure. I race. I don't go to SEMA to look at motors on stands. I go to the track. I see Langer, Kinsler and Marcella's motors and watch THEM race. I see Gaydosh, Rex, the Butlers and Kaufmans. If you don't think the manufacturers' don't learn from the racers you are a fool. Well come to think of it , you probably don't.

So what are some of the things you believe they have learned from them that has not been known for many years? Be specific.



Don't the Butlers and Kauffman's have their own race programs for product development?

I mean if either of them want to post on here and give John or Gaby or any of the others mentioned credit for their product development that would be great

Enough for who? You?

It's what I wanted it to be.. a pump gas street engine. If I wanted 1000hp engine I would have a 1000hp engine. Highports have already proven they can make the power.
