I stand corrected you do have some skills.

Shitty carb?

then how did I make it work, and work again in 2011 to place 8th, the highest placing Olds in engine masters history up until 2016?

oh ya, with factory iron heads on a hunk of junk 307

Well you didn't explain what you did to that carb . I am sure it's had to be reworked to get it to perform as it did . Number one I don't have your magazine to read about what all you done to that engine. Yeah I knew you went to the engine masters. Hell it was on the old ROP . If you really think it's okay lord it above a bracket racer!! And just a run of the mill bracket racer. I never said I was good at anything did i! I don't have a machine shop and I don't care to even begin to build something for a engine masters challenge. Plus I never claimed to have that skill! That's your cup of tea. I gave you congrats on the old ROP for your effort. You can stir the pot all you want .

on a side note why don't you with all your knowledge go tell vortec that you have all of his cars covered? Or is he your brother? Vortec always comes on here to brag .

You really don't need to bring me into this, but as you found out theres real engine guys out there. Me and Canadian have had our disagreements on other forums, but that doesn't mean I don't respect his work. Now as for you old timer.........lets work on getting those cars of yours quicker than my NA 327 shop truck LOL Awww

Of course the good Dr wants that. I wonder how many of the Siamese Bore Nascar blocks still exist?

So I'm.not the only one who thinks the big bore longer stroke stuff is just insufficient with the crappy heads we normally have available ??. Flow is one thing but how well it can fill the cylinder is another. Again this is why I use the Windsor and cleaveland as a good example since there is some similarities to our olds.
