I don't know why you think he owes you that.

I entered this thread of my own accord. I could have rolled my eyes and clicked on the next thread as I usually do when I see you guys ranting on Bret for no reason. Had I done that would the 355 in my car no longer exist? You would think so. And I'm the naive one?

P.S. "but don't hate...." Non-LT1 related question: Does anybody older than 16 actually speak like that?
Good grief. A question has been asked, and BRE won't answer it. Simple as that. I'm not looking for contact information, and I certainly wouldn't "track them down and harrass them with this nonesense". Just post some proof that substantiates the BRE legend, that's all. You have one engine that hasn't run yet, so I'll take your word for what its worth, and unless you're competing at some recognized level, it really doesn't matter anyway.

Why you feel so compelled to defend this is beyond me - let the big boy answer his own questions. So far he's done a great job responding with images of Vagisil, don't you think?

BTW, if you want to read where BRE parrots a lot of his information from, check out this site (PM me if you want the link) Guys on this site actually build engines and race them in multiple levels of competition.

I too have had some great experiences dealing with some of the current stand-up vendors on this site - we should be patronizing them for the support they offer the board.

I'm relieved to hear that being a longtime member here makes you uniquely qualified to make the types of determinations you've made. Seriously though, being stand-up and knowing **** have nothing to do with the question that has been asked.

I'm thankful to have guys like Harold Brookshire on certain boards, and numerous other guys like Vizard contributing that have a substantial track record and 'credentials' outside of the e-world, desktop dyno and back issues of PHR. Without some substantiation, I wouldn't put BRE in the same category.

It's okay. Your complete lack of any coherent or credible response was all we needed, and expected.

I agree with you...it's sad to be caught in deception.

I don't think its deception....BTW I would never tell anyone who ground a custom cam for me.....I would keep the card in a safe.

Alot of people have good stuff...no need to bash on bret or anyone else tho...most of these guys are not running a class where they have to be within certain limits and living on the edge of those limits, most of them are street cars...I think he does a good job for those guys and I haven't seen a customer say they were unhappy.

The guy that wrote this post wanted to know who buiolds a good motor......so why are you so upset. I want to know why this stuff always turns up, these boards are suppose to help people

I know so many know it all type people that don't know anything...never won a title(there name or parts) but they don't last for long

I'm no expert of any sorts i'm basiclly a shade tree redneck so don't drag me into this....

Yeah, when people say the engine in my car doesn't exist simply because they don't like the guy who built it, I should agree. I guess they must be right. I should forget all my real personal experience with the guy and jump on your ill-informed internet rumor spreading bandwagon.

What's "beyond me" is why a few people who happened to buy "Brand A" feel the need to chase around "Brand B" like a swarm of gnats making unfounded accusations based upon zero real information.

I've never said a single contrary word about Ai. Why on earth would I? So why on earth do you?
caught in deception?
So we're back to my motor not existing again? Good catch! Now I know I'll need to walk to work tomorrow. Thanks!
the BRE legend
The "legend" he was called a liar for here was he built a couple of motors and people bought them. Everything more than that was brought up by you and the other gnats.

You think he's the one who looks sad here? I know if I called somebody a liar simply because I didn't like him, with absolutely no basis in fact for doing so, and then saw pictures of what I said didn't exist.... I'd really feel like crap. I might even say sorry. I might shut my mouth for a while. You want to talk about accountability.....

I ask, because the BS flows easily on the internet and I encounter unqualified people in my profession daily.
I completely agree. If I was interested in doing business
with someone then I would absolutly want to know their qualifications. I would also not have any problem providing someone with my qualifications if someone was coming to me with an intrest in doing business with me.

I'm in no way put off by the question. I am however put off by the way it was asked. If someone asked about my qualifications the same way you asked Bret then I would probibly not be inclined to give you an answer also. You obviously have a beef with Bret and have absolutly no intention of doing business with him. Now on that note when I do decide to get a H/C package in the future I will shop around and make sure I'm happy(ask alot of questions) with the choice of vendor I decide to go with. Again please take no offense to this post, it's just my opinion.

FWIW, anyone who gives out customers names unless they consider it OK is a very bad move. Jon is one of my customers, he has no problem saying anything. I have other customers who have said it's ok to post their motor pics up, but don't want their name released. Hell there are street racers that would never talk to me again if I said anything about them to anyone. Besides, if you have happy customers you don't need to say what their stuff runs, most times they will do it for you.
