I don't really care what you "do". Your prose just struck me as "lawyerish". I guess it struck Bret as "copish". Fess up if you wish...or not. It's your choice. You can read my CV a few pages back, and Bret's CV has become the hijacked subject of this thread. You can believe my CV or not.


Toohey was a character in a novel, not an author, nor even a real person.

The allegator (I made up that word, I think) is the one to contact. Ask PSJ for his contact info since he deleted the thread.

CV = Cuirriculum Vitae for anyone who doesn't know.

Those shift points you want are crap... and with the cam you want it will perform like crap. 6-6.2K is still in the power band of the stock cam.

 

well....that pretty much sums it up guys, guess our work here is done, cant believe it took us 497 posts to figure that out

good thread guys, see ya on the next one

LOL! One of the top 10 posts in this thread.

There's more to accomodating Comp R lifters than proper adjustment. Regardless even if you think they were adjusted right doesn't mean anything to me.
Did you know God hates you?
Seriously it reads as though you should've just stuck to a simple application.

 

thank you for making fun of the composition of my post rather than reading the facts I posted in it. it just shows you are a moron. My car was a work in progress that I was continually improving until the bottom end failed. also, please oh lord of the comp R lifters, what did I do wrong with them? they were soaked in oil before installed, I calculated thread pitch on my 7/16" studs and determined exactly how much I would have to turn it to achieve the desired preload. I did this several times. the valvetrain was all set up correctly. what was wrong? what caused my lifters to fail?

right now youre just at the point of being a mindless heckler.

 

You want me to contact an allegator? I stay away from allegators AND crocodiles. LOL I get it, you're taking the fifth.

 

You really don't get it do you? YES, I want you to contact the guy. He's in Bahrain, but I don't remember his screen name. PSJ can hook you up. You are registed there and posted in the last two days, so it should be easy to do.

Ball is in your court. Defecate, get off the pot, or clam up. (I edited that sentence to be more genteel.)

I read the facts and it reads as though you had one devastating problem right after another. Sucks. Sorry.
I haven't the slightest idea why they failed. Even the flamboyant cam "designer" doesn't know. How would I know? You want ideas then read the Comp R thread.

 

Coming from an LE customer, you guys making excuses for your setups are hurting more than helping the argument (whatever the argument is at this point).

Fix your **** and run it, quit making excuses.

My first pass out with LE stuff (before my new shortblock) was plagued with problems too long to list, and I still broke 11's first pass out.

And what's up with all these "3800 pound" F-bodies... I DON'T THINK SO JACK.

My car is fully loaded, fully optioned, leather seat, 6cd changer, blah blah Z28. It weighed 3330 (without driver) with the only "reduction" being !spare and welds up front. Now it has the ford 9" making it somewhat heavier, and prostars on the back to lighten up some. But 3800 lbs? No.

 

the word "Excuses" has been broadened more than I have ever heard in this thread. Sure means a lot that an Auto can run within .7 of its best first run out... I wish people didnt consider altitude an "excuse"...

 

I don't consider altitude an excuse, that's not what I was getting at. If people are running at a high DA and post it in their thread, it would clear up "poor result" threads quite nicely.

Alot of changes and fixing went in to me going 11.3x. But I fixed the problems that made me "slow" and got good results to show for it. Others should do the same.

 

With all due respect, shouldn't YOU be contacting the allegator? LOL

In all seriousness, I'm not the one being accused of a crime here.

 

The 'SS Brothers' aren't questioning whether a LE/BRE setup can run a decent number. A few examples have been posted and I think they agree that a LE h/c package can run well when setup correctly. What they are asking for is for the BRE guys to post some credentials to back what they perceive to be arrogance on Bret's part. Since no credentials have been posted, we can only conclude 1 of 2 things:

1. BRE has no credentials to back up what the SS Brothers perceive to be arrogance on Bret's part

2. BRE has the credentials/references to back up what the SS Brothers perceive to be arrogance on Bret's part, but find the SS Brothers to be irrelevant


I pick 1.5.

 

"Fessing up" implies that I have been deceitful. Where have I made a statement about myself that is not true?


Writers often portray characters that reveal themselves. Thomas Mann, in Death in Venice, would be one example. The point is you compare MY character to someone like Toohey. It is clear you assert "supposition" as fact, not very "Jack Bauer" like.

Made up which word?...allegator or cuirriculum?
