How did the pistons get fixed/changed then?

Bruce you said dyno or track time, they broke a cam key in the car, how did they fix that without pulling the heads? They pinched a ring before or at Norwalk, how they fixing that? Roll your eyes all you want the heads have been off that engine in 2016.

Pretty sure the cam key was 2015...but maybe it was the start of 2016... I didnt mark my calendar. Quit being so anal and I'll avoid being sarcastic with you.
Point being that between cam key and last pass at Norwalk the heads never came off. There was alot of hard passes in between. No gasket issues and lash that stayed the same throughout. 180+mph tuned to keep a dying cylinder happy...173mph when the cylinder was without compression. Seems like you and a few otrhers were hoping for a meltdown instead.
I said this in another post Brian...I dont get you at all. Myself and as best I'm aware of, anyone else in the cv camp never gave you shct when you were being beat up during your highport build. But from day 1 with CV1"s you have been ridiculous. Nit pic anything and everything... so whats your goal? Do you have one or are you just ..........?

I don't have a problem with the head, never did. Its the way you guys spin the facts or lack there of. I haven't said anything in a very long time in a CV1 thread because i could careless about it (i didnt say anything about the head in this thread either, just questioning you, guess i shouldnt have done that). I just think it was odd you stating the heads have never been off when Bill has posted then have been some issues. I guess you meant to say that the heads didn't come off in between issues.

They are all massive disappointments. Just sayin.
Working on a pontiac head right now. Mapping things out and right away doing the WTF. Just another swing and a miss.

What are "they"? If you are talking about all Pontiac heads, I'm interested in hearing more details.

Edit: that came out sounding like I meant Bob & Frank's ALL-PONTIAC heads- that's NOT what I meant.

Seriously all this head sh_t is stupid, I mean how much could you really gain on a set of heads? Unless you're going from a stock set of factory heads to a balls out set of whatevery you'll pick up a lot but maybe just maybe you'll pick up around a tenth and how much HP is a tenth in the said 7 sec. Car...........if you're lucky (in a 7 sec. ride)! GOSH some people really need to get a life specially over on the Gach Pontiac board! I call it the Gach board because he's the only one that ever post over there and if you piss him off with the TRUTH he'll kick you off a no BALLS move but whatever!!! So basically he went a tenth quicker in a car that was 100 lbs heavier no t even counting the weather conditions but really it doesn't make a difference.
FYI.......comparing one car to another at different tracks and different weather conditions is all BS anyways!! JMO!!

GTOGeorge,
When someone is running competitively in a heads up class, you have no idea what that .1 of a second can mean for them. Or how much they will pay to get that .1 of a second improvement in et.
