Why is it stupid for someone to hold their knowledge close to the vest?
I think it's totally justified!
I can't tell you how many times "neophytes" try to second guess what I am designing for camshafts or how many times "other shops" steal my profiles to make themselves "look good".
Keeping important data like camshaft timing events "should" remain private if the person wants them to be. After all, it's their choice to keep their little secret to themselves and not let anyone copy their efforts... That's why I no longer have "any" numbers on my profiles. Just enough to get them installed correctly. There's just too many copy cats out there not willing to work at getting results!
Mike,
Do you "really" think that everyone is entitled to data just because of the quickness of internet search engines? Do you "really" think this is fair to the designer or customer?
At risk of "someone in here" venting his usual puke about "my" attitude, I think you need to get with the program! People do not have a "right" to know everything! It's not in the Constitution you know!
Knowledge is not "google-like" and free for those who think they deserve it!
You must pay for it if you want valid data...
Ask O.J "the murderer". I bet his legal advice wasn't cheap!
with that kind of attitude i personally couldn't care less about the specs of your cam...its not like your setup has set a record for h/c power. so far we know tea 1.5's and some fms cam make 45X hp...yippie
Well, unlike you, I applaud his efforts (and attitude) and the fact he wants to keep some of his information private. The results are out there for all to see and comment on, just don't look to get certain things for "free" from him. Things that he has obviously worked very hard to achieve. He earned at least that degree of respect from you.
why even start the post? i guess your just real proud of yourself!
He provided information and results. I think the post/thread is totally valid... but then again, what do I know???
maybe your gonna send a huge order to comp for your specifc magical 455rw cam and sell them for $400+ like a sponsor ...lol
I'll tell you what, maybe he should! After all, at least he didn't steal the info from other sources and then try to market it as his own.
Good job and get to the track!!!

I say do not expect any stellar times if Josh is driving.. He's going to have to hire Allan Futral to get him the times his car should be running.. I would take her down the track for you Josh, but the weight penalty would hurt you even though I've been banned from the track from having a shifter that looks like a 6 speed shifter when it is actually a powerglide. You just have to know how to row..
EDC, thanks.

Done a leakdown on the motor? Maybe a hurt cylinder? Who knows man, something doesn't sound right if you got all the goodies up top.

I think your results are great..don't let them see your card's
And who is this Brandon guy?JK
Brandon was always fun to work with.

As far as his numbers, he's in rarified air, thats for sure, definitely reason to be proud and brag a little. 440+ RWHP TEA headed cars are as exclusive a club as there is. Also, I'm just curious if this car is going to be dynoed at an "independent" dyno, for comparison sake, would like to see how it does on another dyno, maybe Thunder Racing?
Congrats on the big numbers, that car should run 10.80s @ 128+.

BTW, you have no clue what my cam specs are. You have no idea what I have swapped into the car, nor when. Thanks for trying to be a dick...you passed.
Now back to our regularly scheduled program...

Cam specs are 229/233 591/.595 114.
10.80's @ 128 plus???? At what raceweight? Show me another M6 with 450rwhp and Josh's raceweight running 10.80's at 128mph plus.
Josh's car is also slammed. Not exactly prime 60' material...even on full blown slicks. No doubt the car will yield a VERY respectable # none the less. Stripped to the hilt...11.1x's @ 125 is about right on a good air day and prep....which is nothing to sneeze at for a daily driver. I will go out on a limb and say that I believe he will trap high...but won't be reflected in the ET.
Don't get me wrong....love to see my red headed stepchild lay down a 10.xx pass...just think 10.80 is way off for the current chassis setup. Never know though....Josh has been known to suprise folks......including himself

TEA was unwilling to do anything about it, until after I sold them, then suddeny "I would have helped you out, but you've already gone in another direction..." So, how does that make me a troll? I complimented your numbers, you are in rarified air, IMO. Good for you. As fas as genital warts, I am inexperienced in this area, must be something that you have had some experience with.....

10.8 @ 128 mph....lol, i guess it would run that if it has -2000 DA and 3000 lbs raceweight like so many other guys that like to brag about their best ETs.
again dont let this be a stupid cockfight. i say everyone go funk themselves and enjoy the many sponsers that are pushing the envelope. josh's car is far from a tin can drag race car like MANY MANY of the fast guys around here. just looking at the TR shootout, i didnt see too many daily driver street cars at ALL. .02
