Well thats just what it is **** talking, nothing personall, bussiness is bussiness though, and I am or could be a potental paying customer, I admit I may have not spent a large amount with them but I have bought and used there products, and if you look at any of the videos my son puts out on the web of his car he always gives PROPS to HSW and the kit he uses, seems to me thats a good advertisment. Anyway opinions vary. But I am sure they wont have to talk or sell me anything from here on out. But since this is a forum, I will input my questions and 2 cents worth of opinions weather you aprove or not. And weather they want to answer or not dont bother me at all.

You're right. Speak your mind. But, I would add, how would you treat someone that had blasted you all over town, then talked to your face like nothing happened? That's kind of how I see this situation. Maybe I'm wrong though.

I Understand exactly, sometimes things get out of hand.

This is through a EFI manifold, not a single plane.

I'm not going to even engage in some of these posts. Ed, I have answered every one of your PM's (even after hours, which I guess is important to you). Matt even talked to you over the phone and left you a voicemail with dimensions. What else am I missing here? If some of your questions weren't answered, I certainly apologize but perhaps they weren't asked? We always answer all questions to the fullest, however if you're hanging up the phone feeling like nothing was answered, then I encourage you to follow through and speak up. Say that you don't fully understand what was said or something! Don't just hang up the phone confused and then post negative comments because you didn't ask something. I also think that it is abundantly apparent that I will continue to answer your questions regardless of how you post and or feel about HSW.

Certainly we will not give you every single dimension of the plate. That's proprietary knowledge. I wish you the best of luck, and again if you run into any other questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks!

Nick

I didn't imply that at all. My advice still stands. On large shots it is my opinion that a single distribution point is not the safest route. If you'd like to tempt fate, then by all means do so, but from a liability standpoint I will not tell you that x product will exceed its ratings. That is my opinion and I'm sure plenty will agree with it and I'm sure plenty will not. That's all I was saying. Thanks!

Ok so are you saying here that you are unable to safely spray 200+ through a T/B plate and if so, is that not like saying N20 Dave must not sleep well at night, and he is living on a prayer that motors he sells his plates to dont blow up, I have spoke with Dave, and I tried calling you but spoke with Matt, Dave claims NO ISSUES with his plate spraying 200+ safely. I know you may think I am trying to start another pissing match with HSW, but the proof is on the site. A plate is a plate, I just think you guys are trying to push you direct port kits, If I am not mistaken there are numorus companys claiming 200+ easyly with a plate. I will hop on over and try Daves plate on the 200 and 250shot and see how it works out, another thing, about every Mfg. has the parts to there kits aval. to there customers. Like I told Matt if I wanted to try the Brute Plate, I fully understand you are not responsable, just sell the Dam thing. But hay, just my opinion again.

The bore size of the Brute force plate, the hole you spoke of on top I was told are .1875, now what are the orfice dia. on the same plate (Brute Force) on the center ring. I know you do not Mfg. them in house, But I do know that you have the info on every orfice size in the plate, Thats what I wanted to know the orfice size on the unner ring, I am not going to mass produce them and sell them.

Ed,

It doesn't matter if you make 1 or a million, proprietary knowledge means that we do not share dimensions with those outside of the company. Think of it this way, it's similar to someone calling Gencorp and asking them for the dimensions on their cluster bombs...The world just doesn't work that way regardless if you're making one cluster bomb or a million. Again my apologies and if there is anything else let me know! Thanks.
