... no, this was not just my valve job, but this shape is not what you would expect to see in a HP, as for me filling the floor or not, why do you seem to care or have reacted so much towards me doing that ? ... what difference does it make to you EC ?? ... are you telling me i'm not allowed to raise the floor unless you think it's a good idea or something ? ... ... c'mon, you are not a head porter, but yet you are trying to act like you are, and i'm not attacking you EC, i'm just pointing out the fact that "it seems" because you paid a very talented individual to port your heads & intake, does not make you a head porter, so please stop telling me what i should or should not do to a head that i am working on based on your opinion, and please dont reference what my costs will be for such a modification until i've stated what it will cost first, if i want to raise the floor, i will, but this particular port, i am the one that set that limitation on myself to try and keep costs down for this CNC package ... ... i set limitations for specific reasons, (std pushrod,small valve,no fill) ... std pushrod is obvious, limits cost, small valve allows for a smaller bore, and that bore could also limit displacement, which can limit the need for larger CSA through the port ...

... Jack, when i'm working on a new head, or port, or whatever, all i'm doing is showing people where i'm at with it, i dont make retarded claims, or predictions do i ?? ... ... you do not own this forum Jack, and you are not my mentor,judge, or warden and i dont need or want your approval on anything ... ... and you bash everything i do by the way, you say people are tired of the 'Vacuum Racing' ?? ... i can assure you there are just as many, if not more that have grown tired of your 'Hot Air Machine' ... ... what are you even doing in a thread that i started ?? ... you know you bring nothing but negativity, disrespect and argument with you ?? ... all you do is run your mouth and try to poke people (or myself) in the eye when the threads have anything to do with CV-1's or myself, do you not ?? ... You really think these people dont see that you have a hard-on for me Jack ?? You cant be that stupid ?? ... i dont follow you around in almost every thread you start, making DS posts about what you do, or dont do for a living ?? do i ?? ... ... my customers and myself will get my work on the track according to their schedules, not yours, so stop asking, it's really that simple ... |

... i never said anything about street/strip ... but you are answering your own question EC, i just said that i set that limitation on myself with this head, because it would add more cost, hence the (not allowed) statement i made, i think filling the floor will help this head, regardless of street/strip or not, but i wouldn't because we are trying to keep costs down, but if the customer wants it because i think it will help, then i will do it ... ... so in all, i think we agree here, that's why i did not fill the floor on this port ... but that doesn't mean i wont try it just to see what happens ... i have 3 more ports in this "work piece" head to play with, the wide port version will come later ...

Just remember Jack... once a racer always a racer. You want to imply through your snide comments I'm not a racer, go ahead. Hope you dont get forced to park for awhile due to circumstances beyond your control. You criticize me for that, I'll have no mercy criticizing you, if you are ever caught in a situation like I was. Lose 10" height, 95 Lbs, come back from stage 4 Multiple Myeloma and lose 2/3 household income at the same time. Try not being able to play with your kids for awhile the way a dad should be able to. Even a hug could be excruciating and pain killers dont let you be the person you really are. Cant play in the park with them, cant take them hiking fishing or a bike ride...not something you'd like to go thru Jack. My height is not coming back...I'm permanantly bent in the middle of my spine from multiple spine fractures...(I walked into the hospital with my spine broke Jack) I got back about 40lbs...I'm functional way beyond what I could have hoped for... My household income is getting back to where I can start building another car...and I'll be racing once again.... Dont think I'll make Norwalk this year but I will get back out eventually Jack. I started racing at the track 42 years ago. I slowed my race activities when my youngest was born 2002... work schedule mainly why. Still did some "fun time" racin when I could right thru 2005. I had my first back fracture the end of that year. Took a few months off moved and later in 2006 had a few more fractures occur that defied cause...I checked in the hospital for awhile. Started building a Ford in 2008... I couldnt afford the chassis to support the motor plus missed my Pontiac addiction so I sold everything Ford I had. Then Deb wasnt finding decent work...so race car money went to family as it should. But that situation has finally turned around...things wont happen as fast as I'd like, but I'll get done eventually. Dont even count me out Jack. |

Bruce, People's priorities will always be different. Some take massive hits and keep getting back up and trying again the next day.
Glad you are one of the "Get Back Up" types of people. Would be glad to meet you personally one day and talk a lot about boost stuff. Don't let Jack get you down, He is harmless really. Just stirring the pot. With all of the chit he has had to deal with over the years, Toilet Chit, "Yes Dear" chit, and "Baby Diaper" chit you can see why he acts the way that he does on the board.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
