There's not many Pontiac guys where I'm at so I've always felt like I'm waving the banner for myself, which I'm proud to do. It's been a goal of mine to make it to Norwalk and meet some fellow banner carriers. After reading all this bickering I don't really care if I meet any of you. My sons and I will be at Pontiac Heaven having fun doing what we do and maybe if things go good we will make Norwalk
to race the " big boys". Rant over
hope you have fun at Pont Heav. Some day... If you make norwalk you wont have much trouble sorting out who runs their cars and who runs their mouths. Hope to see you there.

No one cares slowbird, as no one cares what anyone spends, but it is relevant to certain conversations when talking about best bang for the buck, like comparing heads that cost 2995 to heads that cost 12k to duplicate.

Hey, remember when we discussed lowering the weight? Did you come up with anything?

Your mouth causes more problems for Bill & Jim!
I dont care where jeff runs 8.8's,, what does he run at other tracks in hot weather? Quinn runs 8.8 at a lot of different tracks with 5k heads compared to heads that cost 12k to duplicate, wasn't he running 9's before Norwalk?

How can you talk best bang for the buck when one head has NEVER done it!!
By the way the HP head is the best bang for the buck.

TRY to grow up and not name call. I have run high 8s and not with 12000 heads or cv1s. steel valves, both sides. 495" so apparently there are other options. I am SURE there is more money in quinns heads then mine. Not that it matters to me. Pretty sure you deserve to be called a name....I'll settle for not smart.

what did Quin run @ Norwalk vs Kinsler same track same day, makes for a nice comparison except Kinsler was at least 350lbs heavier.

Well I'm sorry, I cant help but say DS to people who cannot follow a simple conversation, unless you are trying on purpose to put words in my mouth, like claiming I said you have 12k cylinder heads on your car, get my point?

Does the 5k top end include that pretty looking intake on top of his engine?

Reread your posts genius. The second one clearly says"if YOU want to spend 12k and weigh 200 more lbs TO RUN HIGH 8'S thats your business" Those were not my only choices as i got there spending less than quinn and 12,000. So either i spent $12000 or found another way....hum you look not smart right now.
