Apparently, some of you just don't get it, so I'll just be blunt. You know the old joke about how parents bring children into the world and can easily take them out... Well I brought the Racing and Performance forum into this world in the hopes that we can have educational and productive discussions about high performance Oldsmobiles with racers and builders. If it's just going to be a new extension of ROP or Yellow Bullet, it will go away and you guys can just go back to those sites.
Just remember vortec pro hasn't done anything that matters anyway. I can atleast say I have done what I have done and it's relevant to our hobby and brand. With relevancy and proof . I'm no one., Im just some Punk from Chicago but I can prove what I've done.
My bad, I forgot about Chad. He builds a badazz Olds, for sure.
I was referring to racers that are out almost every weekend. If they aren't posting, they aren't sharing knowledge, unless it goes on in behind the scenes PMs.

It does not matter if some one is racing today or not knowledge is knowledge
Yes questions are sometimes asked and responded to off line,
Run to Run
Cheesrown 67 OAI
Dave Stillman
Mark 70 Buick GS class car
Dale from Canada Engine masters 307 cast iron scrap metal that turned heads. hotrod442 wr1970
This list is not complete
There is also guys that have street strip cars that only take there car out a few times a year but are also very knowledgeable
like 83 Hurst Olds

You can make an Olds go 10s. I want to do it on pump gas while driving 50 miles and back to the track with no more than tire pressure and shock adjustment. To me, that's a badass street car. Who needs a trailer? I got a AAA card if stuff goes real south.

Well I am back and now. I am not a racer! I never built any engine's. I never worked on Oldsmobiles. I didn't do anything to get this forum changed. Thanks to all my fellow friends for not mentioning me .

I left you out on purpose. It was supposed to give you a kick in the backside to finish Rocket Vapor!

You didn't miss much
The powerglide transmission mount cross member has been tig welded in now. Powerglide is bottled up to cross member. I also worked on this car last week drilled and installed wing on this Honda. Which this car needed to be done before welder guy would fix my car. All parts were blanks .

I fixed my list, I said it was incomplete. I look forward to seeing Rocket Vapor at the track.
Guy paid for it to be installed! He picked it out paid for it to be installed not my place to say if it works or not. He got what he wanted.
Guy paid to have this weight plate added to this all wheel drive Honda also! Welder guy welded it! We used my transmission jack to set it in place.
Wing and weighted front plate point to drag strip use.
Owner said $70k in the car now. Using a drift brake for rear brakes yes it is for drag racing. I haven't seen the engine. The one in the car is for mock up.
I will be posting my builds on here with dyno sheets and supporting data. I'am also thinking about doing a Olds drag test as well.
I think you should be an administrator and make sure everyone is building their engines you your standard FFS 🤦🏻♂️
I have a lot of my own cool stuff going on, some extremely interesting testing and a few engines I’m doing, 1 I just finished. I wanted to post all the things that I found that 3 other builders didn’t. But why waste my time like I’m wasting even replying to another ridiculous thread….
the sidewalk ends where the bug parade begins -RZ
i personally think he has achieved great results from what he has and his approach. It’s interesting see what he’s doing. But….. you don’t know the guy. Maybe you and the administrators need to go out for drinks

If I do this Olds 455 engine build followed by a drag test, your participation in the critiquing will be appreciated. I don't think I've been critical of any of your engine builds, I just simply wanted to see how you utilized Travoto's HP (drag strip performance) you don't want to show your performance, so be it. Myself I like to show the performance.

But yet you constantly kept poking at me as to why I haven’t run my car yet. The engine that it’s in doesn’t have a roll bar and engine diaper etc. to go to ET that I know it well. Plus I actually have a life and a real job. But people like you have caused me not to post **** for information anymore on this website. I’ll keep my builds and my constant research to myself I have no reason to toot my own horn about anything. Y’all have fun I’m out of this ************
Don’t sugar coat it Dan, tell us how you really feel lol!😉
As you know, I’m not posting anymore builds here either cuz I feel the same way. Shame too, I have a couple of good ones in the works as we speak. Oh well.

You know Pete called me the other day, seems you had some observations on his HP he made with his stroker small block Olds, and much to my surprise you asked him for supporting dyno data, Hmmmm

Yep, mine made 533 with a Victor, better head and more cam. So who’s numbers are inflated, mine or his? Be careful here cuz you’ve openly doubted my numbers numerous times, saying MINE were inflated. Pipemax calculated 115% VE on his, a mildly ported iron head with a small cam, really? Hmmm is right.
