The only thing that bothers me about what Mike said is that he lets his arrogance get in the way of his knowledge. He is after all a very smart man. A very smart man who is humble, will get more respect than the same man that acts as if he is better than someone else. I have never claimed to be the fastest racer.

I have my own converter now. I bought a standard PI converter and stamped AJ in it. Now I'm an expert to.:thumb::D

I sent this to Terry along with your daddy's comments about his converters.
My comment about your converter if it is a PI was serious.

Cams and heads

Rob, I think you and I both would rather have the :hug:"CORRECT" 2.6 turbo than a set of ported heads or cam for pulling. All the cam and head work in the world will not make up for a basic turbo when there is a turbo limit. It will be very interesting to see how this 2.6 race shakes out in feb. It's a shame a good turbo is almost as much as ported heads and cam. Jeff

I don't build anything fast anymore. I do like being part of a team that gets the job done. I stay in the backround. Could I build a killer truck? You bet your ass.
You sure seem worried about me and my reputation. You should worry about building a fast truck so you can give advice as to how you did it.
Answer this question. What have you done? Try not to bring my age or my rep into it. Just answer what you have done and why anyone should listen to you as compared to what they can read on the forums as you have.

Why don't you take your own advice...

Before you go blasting around the internet forums with your new boost hardon. Spend some time to get to know some of the people on here, the trans guy you are bashin is one of the most respected ally guys in the biz. Yes he can be a little rough but he knows his stuff. Respect is earned not given.

So I will echo his question, what have you done & why should anyone listen to you? Oh and start your own thread, blackdirtymax's list of accomplishments & accolades:thumb:

Beech, sorry us ass hats mucked up your build thread....

Huge difference between 1000HP and 600HP.

600 can be done fairly cheap, fairly reliable, without pulling the engine out.

1000HP is the opposite. :D
well that is true i can not fight about that but i got a motor that has low comp on #4 and lost two injectors. I have fixed or replaced the injectors and now i have to pull the motor apart and i want to do the most i can while im in there. but still be able to use the truck not just race and play with it. but would love to build a race truck next so thats why ill try to learn from all you guys tell i get enough to do what ive learned and build this motor as bad as i can (as funds afford but i dont want to waist it on stuff thats not needed and only use the stuff thats most benificial now )

Don't let the post count fool you!
Lets get one thing clear , I know who Mike L is, I know he knows his stuff and I respect him for that. However what I don't respect is for a person of his caliber to come in a thread and bash me because he thinks I don't know what I am talking about . Maybe you guys that are mad or upset because you think I am being disrespectful to him, should go back and reread the parts where we began our bickering. I never called out Mike L, he made the comments. I was simply defending myself.

To Mike , if I affended you in any way "Sorry"
