I love your fascination with the weight of my car. Like I pulled 700 lbs out of it magically and it would run 12's if I put the supposed 700 lbs back in. Your dumb *** should spend more time learning how to make usable power and transferring it efficiently rather than acting like a 16 year old. Good luck.

Funny thing the mention of 16 y/o's... Interesting how you go into threads here and talk smack about other cars, but sweet Jesus Almighty if anything is said about yours....

Thanks, but as already stated I'm not interested in doing anything more than fixing what is broken. It's done a fine job of transferring power efficiently at least on the low end, sir. It's the top end of the rpm band that didn't do so well, which has been explained why, and was expected from the very beginning. If you are really hurt by what has been said you don't need to actively post in this thread? Just a thought.

and claim I'm the one doing so? When you go out of your way to shoot down any LE based thread with which you have no actual experience with? When you are the one with the wiped out cam lobes and metal throughout your motor and mine continues to run perfect yet you talk more **** because I'm considering selling it? You need help. 16 year old girls require less attention than you. Go ahead, continue your harassing to try and satisfy some sort of personal issue(s) in your life

To keep this on a constructive level, the reason why there was metal sent throughout the motor was purely through neglect. As you may or may not know, because of the higher spring pressures of a SR engine the valvetrain should be regularly checked after every so often. I was all about adjusting valves and checking the valve seats and tips, but never looked at the lobes and lifters. The lifters were tall body and required the heads to be taken off in order to get the lifters out. Contrary to speed_demon's belief the engine did have a lot of miles on it, many 7200rpm shifts and had been together for seven years. So, in essence, this problem I am fixing is all on me.
Aside from that, are you saying in a round about way you would like me to stop picking on you? Is that what I'm getting with all this complaining?
Dremel out the journals?

Even though this has been covered before, let me try and dumb it down for you so it does make sense. You see the pics of the heads I am using, right? You think even if peak power was at 6800rpm it was yielding the kind of flow which could be achieved with something like a ported AFR? The port work on those heads were only to accommodate a 383 using a 211/219 cam. Just because one cylinder head can produce enough flow to turn higher rpm does not mean it is doing it in the most efficient way. Does that help, or is it information overload?

So much butt hurt. After these kind of frothing posts it is a wonder how you can tie your own shoes, or even breathe for that matter. Seems you are always wanting to leave details out to come up with your own conclusions. It's just weird how you can consistently be this wrong. Whatever I've done has always been about spending as little as possible. Everyone says how I must have spent a fortune for LT4 Lingenfelter heads. Not true. LPE was wanting to get rid of them in favor of R&D for the LS1 when it debuted. I got them at their cost. Regardless, I am happy with the results for what was done past and present. Pity you cannot accept that. As far as "poor performance" is concerned I am not sure where your validity is? You bought a used e-bay block. Shortly thereafter it broke and was never fixed, never a straight answer as to what went wrong and continue to post as if it's still running. Yeah, I'm ready to be judged.
