He should probably come on PY and read for himself. Doesn't seem like he's getting an accurate or complete description of what's being discussed here.

Maybe he could come on here and answer legitimate concerns about if the valve spacing, location and diameter will affect the ability of potential buyers to bolt them into an already built shortblock with common off the shelf Ross or whatever brand popular flattop forged pistons. That’s probably half of his potential customers right there. Basing his opinions about the PY forums on information from second hand sources and then criticizing the PY forum community for expressing their opinions and concerns might not be the best approach. My only criticism was they’re not going to look enough like a factory head for those who are looking for heads that closely match the look of OEM Pontiac heads. Not saying they’re not a good product in any way. People who were hopeful that they’d look like real RAII or RAIV heads or whatever D-port flavor they’re interested in aren’t ever going to get what they’ve been wishing for. It’s easy to understand that nobody is going to the expense to make different molds for each particular head, there’s no profit in that clearly. You have guys here thinking somehow that they’d have to be priced substantially below the current aluminum offerings from KRE or Edelbrock. Ain’t gonna happen guys, simple economics. So there goes that pool of potential customers who weren’t the target to begin with. Again I’m sure they’ll be a well engineered part and an asset to the hobby. Just because people have legitimate questions and concerns or share their opinions good or bad about a new product doesn’t make them haters.

There's another thread in the Street section with more activity than this thread.
It has a bit more critical thinking going on in it , but I haven't read any hate related type negativity. Maybe he is getting some embellished memorandums. This would be the best place on the internet to have chatter going on about a new cylinder head project coming to the market. |

Using Facebook exclusively and not taking advantage of the biggest Pontiac forums on the ‘net to spread the word is selling himself short. Just because people have questions and opinions both favorable and critical doesn’t make them haters. Let’s not play the victim when you’re clearly not one, there’s nothing to be gained by that.

It's easier to promote YouTube videos/podcasts on FB. Views on YouTube videos/podcasts make you money.

It's easy to sit on FB and call anyone who has questions about what he's doing "haters", but apparently it's too much effort to jump on here and get involved in the discussion.
