They are hard on valvetrain components and the Indy manifold must be machined to accept the Whipple intercooler, since the water fittings come in through the front. I need the valvetrain to last for 100 hours. We are not trying to make max hp, just enough. I don't know if you are familiar with the Whipples, but they are a different animal then a roots. They are more efficient and do not generate the heat that a roots does. The intercooler does an excellent job of removing the heat. The 1400 has never seen over 130 degrees of intake air temp, even at 13 psi boost.
If you want me and you can start a whole other thread about this topic.
As far as the heads go you obviously have never used any spreadport heads or you wouldn't be making those comments.
As far as your Whipple intercooler not fitting the manifold, with all the engineering going into testing lifters you could at least spend some money on a man. or intercooler.There are many sheet metal fab. guys that would be happy to help you with a manifold.
Remember guys----when it's all said and done and the warr. is up your the one that owns the motor. Don't spend 90 grand on a motor with cheaper parts just because they didn't want to build something custom. Your the one that will have to try to sell the motor when it's all over (that is unless they will buy it back).

Agreed. Plus, as I said above the PR part. Calm and cool works a lot better than yelling. He's done that
My post of
"No offense, but some of the other posters need to calm down. When people protest too much, it makes it seem like they have something to hide."
was not aimed at you, "Nobody". It was aimed at the posters that were ranting in TMP's defense. I'm not selling anything either, and how people spend their money is up to them.

I will quote myself again, if you know so much about motors and top secret lifters then how much hp do you think it would take to do that?

Prove me wrong on anything I've said.

If you built motors for a living and sold them to guys like me, I would give you a little more credability. Like you said, your needed in the tech forum to help the guys that truely need your expertise. I havent seen you over there all day. Take care. Jeff
I'm not looking for anybodies respect, just facts.
If I've said something wrong prove it.
Your right no one here cares about what they buy, that's one of the reasons I've said what I said because you average person just doesn't know if he's getting bent over or not.
