I need to wake up? I have been doing what you want to do for years now. Except A/C


You don't listen to the best advice given and talk back to the guys that are really pushing the envelope. Its a bold statement to say your builder is years ahead of anyone here... prove it. I think you're in for a major surprise/dissapointment. But hey, prove me wrong

 

Well, he's definitely YEARS ahead of the rest, maybe not light years, because when I was researching my first stroker (436ci from ARE) 6 years ago everyone was trying to hit the 500 RWHP mark. Two months after I got my 436ci from ARE and it dynoed almost 500 RWHP (I think 492, can't remember) my friend Les (Hoserack on sffba.com) had an iron 422ci built by this builder and it put down 535 RWHP A4. Les has been spraying that engine with a 300 shot for 6 years and the engine is still PERFECT today...PERFECT. He's selling the whole car and its PERFECT.....he just bought a Z06.
I wish I knew this builder was 5 miles from my house, I had no idea until after I got my 436ci.

He makes more power than every other builder with tiny cams and his own ported heads. His 416ci's are making 530 RWHP with 230ish sized cams and his head cam jobs for Z06 427ci customers are almost at 600 RWHP. Real 600 RWHP, not lies and dyno tricks like a couple builders have claimed. 30-40 more hp on everything. He's been in the same location for 30 years, lets see the other shops last that long.

And yes, most of his clients are 6 and 7 second drag cars. He's doing a 2,200 hp LSX build right now for a guy who runs 6's with a Grand National. The engine in it now was built by this guy 3 years ago and the guy is still running 6's with it. He's replacing it with the LSX.

He usually has no less then 2 C5R builds going at any time and a dozen LSx set-ups at any one time. He's getting 400 cfm from his LS7 ported heads too.

He doesn't do turbo fabbing or installs...all he does is build engines, thats it. He's in his 60's and can't do heavy labor and all up under cars and bending down in the engine bays anymore.

And people wonder why there's so many badass cars down here in South Florida, there's a few off-the-radar builders liek this. I asked him why he's not a sponsor on LS!tech.com.....he said, "what the hell is LS1tech.com " I told him and he said, "**** the internet". He doesn't have a computer, he doesn't have internet at home or work, he doesn't advertise anywhere.....He doesn't need to, word of mouth is all it takes when you've been around as long as he has with great products.

Its just the facts man.

I like it here because there's alot of smart people with great experiences, but jeez, it really sucks when someone can't spend a year asking **** and researching different possible set-ups before they drop $30,000.

Oh well.....as he says......"thats the ****** internet for ya."

I'm not ignoring anything....I listen to it all and consider everything.

No you aren't....noone ever said 1,500 RWHP on pump gas...noone. Well, I want and will have A/C on mine. If I listend to everyone here that told me I can't have huge power with a turbo and keep A/C I never would have learned about the OFI kit now would I. I'd be pissed off that I was pressured into buying something without A/C, but everyone here would be happy because I finally bought something, how gay

Lyle/Quickin:

I am giving you a 6 month vacation from the site. That gives you enough time to get your car together. Good luck, but your attitude got old and you are borderline insulting to a lot of guys on here who have made big power like you want, and/or have run record setting ET and MPH.

So, take a deep breath, and go order those parts. If you do an OFI kit, Joel contact me once the kit ships, but until then don't bother us.

Yeah, W2W and the like are such **** poor engine builders, Joe bob small block builds the best motors EVAR!

 

I thought it was Bobby Joe's big block

 

I don't care for censorship. Nobody has to respond to his threads. I see plenty of threads that get no responses at all and quickly get buried. It's also kind of entertaining seeing everybody getting pissed off. I've been here awhile and some of the most entertaining threads ever were the Mightymouse/Rob Raymer ones.

 

Damn John,I thought these threads were jokes

Just love seeing him post for advise,get advise and then bashes the people giving it. Why the hell would he post then tell everyone he has the God of LSX builders doing his car? Why does he need us?

 

this post was funny. i look forward to Quicken coming back with mega power in his DD.

 

lol, Quickin threads... All classic.

 

Its done.....
