My point being what happens when celebrities do the opposite? What if Shaq came out and said this heat balm sucks. States it is portioned too small. Well, for Shaq it may not work but a normal sized guy will have no problem. It cannot be said that bad press in this instance didn't hurt. That head would be fine for 90% of peoples performance goals. That was never stated enough. Who gives a damn if we already had E or HP heads. No reason to run another option off the market. And yes I'm calling you, John, Jeff, and Jack Pontiac celebs. Consider it the highest of compliments please.

Well you of all people know that I do not hate the head, or think that there is no way it can make power. Was there neg press yes. Where ridiculous claims made? yes. Were some made by non users that were not based entirely in fact and negative in nature? yes While I appreciate you're reference to celebs, I'd point out that that was not my intent to become one or to bash the head. More to the guys who have never done what they claim will be so easy and can't seem to get it done. The head has more potential than my eheads.

Mike do you think if we wanted to make 1000+ with a cv1 that we couldn't? Why have the experts not then?

Well If its so easy to do it na then just do it. I'm NOT saying it can't be done. There are a lot of people that underestimate what it takes to build that power. The same people think its easy to just stick it in the car and set records. Sorry I don't give credit for talking like its so easy. Its NOT that hard either if one gets in touch with the right people and actually does it.

Perfect, thats what I wanted to hear. You dont want to give credit but you enjoy beating the other products down?

Did you ever take one of those personality tests for a job or when you was in the military?

If so, I have a question for you. If you were a pickle, would you rather be a sliced bread&butter or a dill spear?

I'm not a pickle. You're missing the point genius. NO ONE gives credit to the guys talking and not doing. I'm not beating the product down. Just the blowhards that think the only thing separating them from success is luck or money, If only "fill in the blank" I could do that too.

Wrong answer pickle juice.

You have bashed the product numerous times. If you were serious about it just being the person not being capable, you would have kept the product out of the conversation.

I'm sorry but you are being retarded wether intentional or not. FIND A POST WHERE I BASHED THE PODUCT AND SAID IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE. Come back here and post it up pickle sniffer. Then I will print a retraction based on that. Just click on my name, click on view all posts by mike leech, Read them all and copy and print where I said the heads a piece of junk(or any comment similar)and cannot make 1000 hp.

GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY HUNTING!

Of course I did as well as security clearances, Aptitude testing, IQ ETC....where are you going with this? If there was a dreamer that couldn't keep up he'd of been out on that basis.

I'm not playing your pickle game. Thanks for the invite to your pickle party but not interested.

Every time a new product is introduced to the Pontiac community it is greeted by haters. Anyone remember the Indian adventurers block. If a new product is hyped as the next best thing buy a group of nut swingers and never shows potential after numerous attempts or years of "r&d". It will be greeted unfavorably. If the new products performance is displayed with actual on track results, the negative comments go away.

WE have discussed this many times, and the answer is still????????? Damn it Mike I think we could put some flat tops in mine, pay attention to a few details and let John touch up the heads. We would need an intake. I think we could go 1000. Don't you?

Mike , but what if all those people, (that are in that position because of experience) Are giving an honest opinion of the product.

You're a painter, you know paint chit, do you need to change your opinion on certain paint products because it may negatively affect that product's reputation? Phuck NO . that's called being a liar.

If someone wants my opinion I give it to them straight. And if im wrong, I say I was wrong.
