Did I click on the wrong forum? Is this the boosted section?

Two valve size/positions are already on offer from one Pontiac head manufacturer. It may not be what you would do but it's on offer for small vs bid bore Pontiacs.

I said I would not post on DRAG RACING TOPICS in the Race section, did not like DRAG RACING. I have known Marcella for a long time, if I agree with his post I can post that I agree with it and not offend anyone except for apparently chit stirrers like you Aaron.

You know edelbrock won't do anything.
I am not sure why other manufacturers of pontiac heads won't take in consideration some of your ideas,at least to make a better product,without having to re-engineer everything.
I guess its like everything else here,its not needed,so you will have to make them work. Its a good thing you can weld. Lol
It surprises me that a tiger would have to have so many revisions to make them a good head,even after they have been revised. IDK
Thanks for trying John.

You can come back now Tom,this is a kinder,more friendlier race section now.

That sounds like racing,spend thousands to win hundreds.

If you want to discuss I'm willing to get into extreme detail on what I see and think. No bashing, no negative agenda just honest opinion.

... well, the original 1st stage of my offer was to finish my "other" platform first, and then your modified version would happen next ...

... and could then be used as a point of comparison, from 1st Stage to 2nd Stage versions, which i honestly feel would be an extremely interesting project ...

... i have much respect for you and your crew, and look forward to anything positive in terms of results that could be gathered from a joint effort from talent such as ourselves ...

Hey Tom, this must be the diesel section!

[Aaron Quinton]

Hopefully you know I was just busting your chops.

This is what you said: "So I have decided to remove myself from any future RACE discussions and stay in the 64-65 GTO forum or the Boost Forum (as that is, and has been my job for 40 years."

Not stirring, just calling it. This is the race section, yes?

Some folks have multiple talents.

Like what? Excluding nonrelevant patents.

[Aaron Quinton]

You'd have to ask competent people. Patents cost about 20K to procure, I'm sure they're irrelevant (corrected spelling), to the untrained eye.

I'm sure all that seems great to you from a data perspective. However for the customer it would be downright foolish! 2 sets of rocker gear two different manifolds , two sets of Pistons. Not good financially for the customer.
What I would do to that casting is a tremendous change. Nothing would work with the old stuff.

Sounds like it would be better to start over with a clean sheet.




Internet racing was strong today, do any of you work?

[Tiger Paw]

Just as I thought, no relevant talent. So you're not a god either!

Just busting your chops.

Great idea! Lets start from scratch like Visner did...oh wait, That's not a good example is it...

... wrong, i was agreed to supply the complete engine, which means only one set of rocker gear, only one set of pistons, only one manifold, no tremendous change at all, as i would have supplied the complete engine, even a billet carburetor, remember ??? ...

... the point was to determine exactly where we stood with power in an N/A application with the Gen I architechture, the extra secondary parts wouldn't cost you anymore money, because they wouldn't be 2nd at all, as i have paid for the 1st level of components ...

[Aaron Quinton]

Well if you look at the patents I think block structure increasing strength while reducing mass and combustion system improvements would seem to apply but I could be wrong. I'm sure you've done more?

Never claimed to be anything. What I hope to help with is free information sharing without all of the bs that comes with this section.

Are you sure you're not ton v or gach I drag? Inquiring minds want to know.
