uh.....

does anyone have a nu-tek stroker?

 

"it" being what? That I'm new to this board? Are you a mathematician or something or did you just figure that out with the help of a calculator?!


Did I say that I was looking for advice on building a motor? Where do you get that idea anyways. I read from whoever I think I might gain some knowledge from.
I'm not trying to show anyone up either. Why are you trying to put words in my mouth?
I simply stated an opinion and suddenly I'm an "*******" and a "moron". Let me suggest that you lock your door and stay in the closet, that way you'll never have to deal with opinions that differ from your own.

No the contest isnt a new measure but does add to someones resume, you yourself should be impress since your chocked full of big names you can spue out on command.

And after all the name calling, you think I'd share even the smallest bit of information with you? I think not dear sir.

Chris Jarvis, NC programmer, I work for one of the gentelmen I named in one of my previous responses and I can gurantee you that I don't need to "go" anywhere to build a motor. That is.... if I were building one, wherever that came from.

If you have any other names to call or would like to talk this over on the phone, please send me an e-mail. I won't respond to your childish comments again.

Chris Jarvis

 

Jason Short does, it's one hell of a engine too.

Your not the only one who is confused on this.

 

As Bret mentioned Jason Short does and a bunch of guys from their last GP they had. In all honesty to a search for nutek and see what comes up....also with a 383/396 your looking at about 400-475rwhp...

Its a big range but a ton of variables factor in....

 

Wow, read through all of that..... interesting.

I'm not the most popular person, mainly because I speak my mind, just like in my everyday non-internet life. So, let me just say this.... Harbinger aka Chris Javis was stating his opinion and nothing more. Then you have a few guys come in and try to pound the guy into ground chuck because of it. And I keep asking myself... "Self, why do you spend your time on these message boards?". Some of you cary your egos on your sleeve.

Bret,
I'll be honest in speaking my mind... it won't have an effect on my income either way. I found the question (110 degree lsa) a little strange too. Didn't say anything about it... just thought it a little strange. Obviously Chris has an opinion otherwise. He may have come in and said what you wanted to hear but I don't think you played your hand very well in this deal. It only shows a lack of tolerance on your part. I read the thread... I followed the link... and you know what. I still think you're a knowledgable guy worthy of taking advice from. So what's changed? I think people are smart enough to draw their own conclusions about such things. I also think it's always good to stir the pot a little. Just glad alot of you guys didn't grow up where I did... you'd definitely have a thicker skin if you had.

Regards,

I have somewhat of a thick skin. I just think it shows a lack of class to come in and bad mouth someone. I like people w/ different opinions you learn stuff then. My tolerance for some $hit is not very big, oh well. Next time I'll say nothing and follow my own advice and speak with knowledge not B.S.

I resorted to deleting my posts. It's sad it came down to that, should have not said anything in the first place.

Your right that cam post was odd. Even though I know what it can do I asked to see the response I would get. Who knows it would have been this one. I learned that lesson. Time to get a dummy screen name.

Oh well.

Bret

 

BTW, this is a Nu-tek stroker car:

May want to check Nu-tek's "customer cars" section and see if you can get in contact with those guys if you have questions. All I can say is that everything I've heard about Nu-tek has been good news.
The owner of Nu-tek, Nick Norris, posts in the Advanced Tech forum from time to time. Usually squeezing out maybe a sentence or two... not long winded by any shot but he seems like a nice guy.

I have read a lot of posts from Bret. He is very knowledgable, and as I posted, he is a rare person in that he actually knows something but is still willing to share information. I would have had Bret build my new shortblock without question, I have that much faith in him. It just wasn't practical. As far as the 110 degree LSA question, it was perfectly reasonable. Bret was asking if anyone had tried it. In the real world, not on the Internet or on an engine simulator, but in the real world.

I am sure Bret doesn't need for me to defend him, but I think the tone that "Harbinger" took in his post was too harsh for what he had to say. That's why I am posting again to this thread. To ask for folks to think a bit before they post. It's one thing to give an opinion that differs, it's another to dis someone because they asked a question. Not "knowing it all" is a virtue in my book.

Rich Krause

 

I disagree 2Cntry and I'll go on to say that one of the biggest problems with people today is that they're afraid to speak their mind... and for what? Loss of popularity. Please.

Has nothing to do with morality. There is nothing wrong with one person questioning another person. It makes the world go round and people learn from it. Why is there a fear of that? It's not like we're not going to get both sides of this arguement. That freedom of speach thing was put into the Constitution for a reason. If you don't like what someone has to say then you don't have to respond. They do have a right to say it though.

Sorry to see you deleted your posts Bret.

edit: I agree with Rich though.... Chris, you've got to work on that tact. The tone was all wrong and the question could have been worded in a much more harmless way.

For the sake of cleaning up the thread and helping out jimbjr with his original question I deleted my posts also.

 

Thanks guys. The only way to get some progression is to level the playing field, knowledge does that. I speak what I think is needed, I do hold some things back. I'll speak about them in person with people I trust.

I'm with Mindgame, say what you have too. Having a sack is most of it.

As for this orginal post. Talk with Jason Short about Nu-Tek. He runs a 396 from them. He also worked there behind the scenes so he knows Nu Tek dam well.

Bret

 

As a professional in my field (masonry) I have learned to review my knowledge from time to time. I have never claimed to be the best. Just one of the best. I have never claimed to know it all. I just know a whole lot. I also realize a guy with a short time in my trade has the potential to teach me a new trick to a already learned technic. So from time to time I check if there is anything new that can inhance the old. I do this by asking questions.

" The only stupid question was the one I did not ask."

I love that quote.hehehe
I know that it sounds like there is a ton of greatness in this forum, & I am here to capture a little bit of it. Every guy in here can give the other something he did not already have. Knowing this is claiming wisdom to be yours.

peace out peep's

 

We'll have to agree to disagree.

You have a different outlook on life. y experiences have definitely formed the way I view things in general as I'm sure yours has. I respect everyone's opinion and I think everyone has a right to voice that opinion. Listen, react or ignore... that is your choice.

I won't be deleting anything I said as I always think before I say them. Was Chris' response tactful? No...... but neither is much of anything in life. It's not about the obstacles... it's how you deal with the obstacles.

-Mindgame

 

I know what your reasons are... don't expect mine to be the same.

And another word for something I really abhor is condescension.

-Mindgame

 

It's cool 2cntry... I don't care for a little ribbing but we're both intelligent adults. I don't se the need for condescension or patronizing remarks in general. I don't usually appreciate them and I have a habit of letting people know where I stand on such things. Tis only my nature.
