LOL..they are in every forum on every board not this particular one at this time....
Jay (at Absolute) offers phenomenal customer service for an excellent price, is very congenial, and doesn't have to rely on "pimpin'" to satify his customers needs.
Ken (at Eastside) also offers exceptional customer service and more-than-competitive prices, and testiment to that customer service is loading eight customers cars on his tractor trailer and eight customers in a huge camper from the NY/NJ/CT area to race at MIR.. which they ALSO helped sponsor.
As far a LG Motorsports goes, they are way too far for us Yankee's

In my opinion, the absence of Cartek proper on this board (and others) has been regretably replaced with strident, narrow-minded "inner-circle" disciples who can't fathom that other places are *also* doing thier homework. Look at the top of the LS1-Tech E/T sheets..
![Nod](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_nod.gif)
I do see NoGo (tuning) LG, MTI, Slowhawk, JPR, LPE, Rapid, etc (and many others) actually contributing here with experiences and intellectually enriching this board. Sponsoring events is another small way to "give back" to the lifeblood of shops- customers.

LOL Lou, from your post you dont need any "pimps" because you are pimping your products and Absolutes speeds enough as it is, and you have your son to help you. Its called advertising and some sponsors do the talking themselves while others let their customers do the talking. And I disagree that even on a tech forum, you dont tell someone their numbers suck because they just dropped a couple grand for their setup and they know their numbers arent great, but they dont need you telling them they should have bought a different product. BTW niphilli is right - you have a lot of pimps in the autocross and handling forum as well as corvetteforum.com.
oh Lou,in all seriousness, can you design a cam for the CA people that has great power and will pass smog? Your G5X2 is just a little to big
, and I would like to see what you can come up with compared to TR's Old Man Cam and MTI Stealth Cams. Thanks

If i remember correctly, Cartek did post a lot on this forum in the beginning, but I think they were discouraged from actively participating in this forum because of the same exact **** that Lou is posting about now.
Thats been my biggest complaint about these types of sites, is that some people just can't stand to hear of someone else success, and therefore they chase away a valuable commodity - the people on the forefront of R&D for our engines. Its immature, childish, and personally, these bashers are just ********. If you dont believe someones claim - fine, shut your hole and dont believe it. If it is an outrageous claim, it wont hurt to ask for more specific details in a respectful fashion. If they keep proving their claim, then re-evaluate your opinion of them. At no point should a sponsor be bashed for anything other than customer service or failure to deliver promised HP. If you havent dealt with the sponsor in question, then you have nothing to say.

What makes me sick is the constant "show me your numbers and I'll believe you" crap. I can fake a dyno chart, a timing slip, a dyno run, lie about my times, lie about my setup that achieved those times. Are these people really that clueless? Anyone can post about fantastic times and any reader can choose not to believe them. Challenging or arguing about it is useless noise that reduces the usefullness of this board. On the other hand, if this is a technical forum, why are vendors pimping themselves anyway? Sure, it is advertising, but they have that over to the right. They can brag on their web sites. That is a seperation that is probably impossible to enforce, as any vendor's customer(s) can pimp for them, but would, IMHO, improve the signal to noise ratio of this board.

But since this is a Cylinder head thread, I don't think you could go wrong with either our LGM cylinder heads OR Absolute speed heads. All the others have too much hype, and too much "Pimp Factor" without outside validation on a large number of independent cars.
Thanks, and I am not trying to step on any toes here, just wanted to put my .02 in.
Thanks and keep the good forum going.
Complain about being bashed then say use ours or absolute heads the others are too much hype. Hello Louie isn't that a bash?
ohh poor you.
the funny thing is the thread you thought one of the other sponsers bashed you,I didn't see it as a bash. He stated that a .600 lift cam would be harder on valve train parts and could lead to broken springs. Is that a bash on you louie? was it a lie?
You then flew off the handle and bashed him instead. Maybe more people should just grow up.
as far as the other sponsers bashing each other I guess the truth is in the puddin. would you bash a guy who was not a sponser and they buy 2 sets of heads from you. then become a sponser and say how good there cnc heads are? I know for a fact it has happened on here.

Mr B. u still continue to act like a jackass...
Thats all I got to say about that....
Thats all I got to say about that....
As long as we're stirring the **** here, I may as well roll up my sleeves and grab a spoon. There is more drama surrounding LGM than any three other shops combined. There is always some whining about who's stealing his R&D, who is pimping other products, or who is bashing the LGM product line.. Boo Hoo.. LGM either feels like LS1 owners OWE them blind loyalty, or they just can't take the heat of the competition without having to cry foul... I can't make my mind up which it is.
And I don't know when LGM and Absolute became partners exactly, but if that co-marketing in your post isn't "pimping" I don't know what is. I think LGM is playing the old game of "no such thing as bad publicity." Get your name out there anyway you can... Bash competitors, whine about being picked on, shroud cam specs in "secrecy" just for hype (*cough* *cough* G5X2 = off the shelf comp cams grind *cough*), and then these transparent appeals to the sympathy of forum goers.
![Rolleyes](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/rolleyes.gif)
I hear mostly good things about LGM products. No one I've seen has bashed your products. Furthermore, the ONLY posts I've ever read that made me NOT want to buy LGM products were posted by LGM staff! How's that for irony? The very unprofessional way you conduct yourself, and the belligerent way you and your staff address the competing shops on here is cause for negative feedback. I think you need to learn the difference between someone bashing your personality, and someone bashing your products. The way I see it, most people are just sort of hinting that they think you're a *****, and you receive that as an attack on your shop, or your products.

Well I do greatly appreciate any shop that activley participates in this forum. Its always nice to be able to chat with the people im going to buy stuff from. As far as vendor bashing one another I really steer myself clear of that and dont feel I have a good opinion of it. So to Lou and all you other sponsers out there please keep posting your stuff, try to keep it positive, and keep it coming. It seems everything here that goes wrong is caused by someones reply post, but remember there are always those people who just read the forums and make their decision on the subject a private matter. Im one of them. ![Secret](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies3/secret2.gif)

A: I'm not a junior.
B: I am neither ugly or stupid. What are you, in junior high? Please, I would be embarrased if I was a grown man and couldn't come up with anything better than that.
C: Who's pimping who? Search LG's threads, then search TEA threads, I bet I'm in less of LGs threads than you are in TEAs threads. Wanna check on that? Thought not.
D: The only thing my mouth tonight is my dinner and a bad taste from my TEA "experience" Funny, you say I am a pimp. Wanna search threads as I asked above?
E: How are the TEA cams doing? :p Hopefully better than the heads.

As far as stealing his R&D, ask TEA what cam they have in their awesome 9 sec Corvette. As they describe it, "a G5X2 copy". Ask how the specs of the X2 came out. Ask why I have had no less than 50 PMs and Emails asking for the specs to the G5X3 since I put it in my sig. Why would anyone possibly want to know that info? Surely, nobody would copy the specs, would they?
![EEK !!](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_eek2.gif)
AS and LGM are not partners, they just have a proven combo that works. As far as "get your name out there any way you can", LG is usually brought up in the threads. Remember, the sincerest form of imitation is flattery.
Do a search from when the G5X2 came out, see if you see a pattern. I have spoken to Lou on many occasions, and I can assure you, he is far from unprofessional, and has been attacked unfairly on several occasions (either directly or indirectly). If you judge what products you buy by what you *think* someone is like on the internet....
Call Lou sometime, and speak to him, you're attitude about him might change.
