Liberty employes a good friend of mines son, Adam Christopher. His father was a mentor to me.
Ralph at Racers runs a top notch organization and I respect what the man has done up there.
Lucy I have met and consider a survivor in this day in age and they have done quite well.

The fact is Chris, even though you know the who's who in the marine or racing industry
it doesn't change the fact that you sold some cams with duration and lift that caused endless reversion/driveability problems with your customers who TRUSTED you to sell them stuff that works. THEN to turn around and blame everything and everyone else???? I don't blame you for trying, you crunched some numbers and played with whatever cam program you had and came up with something you THOUGHT would work good, I GUESS THESE WOULD BE CONSIDERED "EXPERIMENTAL" CAMS" it sukked and caused problems. At that point you needed to just man up and buy the guys a new cam and help straighten the mess you created out, we have all made mistakes and it really doesn't matter "who you know" all you are doing by name dropping them is dragging them into your mess. I experimented with some transmission stuff before too that didn't work out so well, some all out oil circuit mods and ligthening some parts just a little too much, when the customer didn't get the results we were looking for (and didn't have reverse to back up after spinning out on the track)
I started over with things just stepped back a little bit and made everything right, I did HOWEVER tell the guy before hand what I was trying so he knew the possible consequences, Smitty

From what I have seen and read this was a few years ago and these problems have been resolved by other people since, SB/CFM/Scott B could clarify though as I am not directly in the loop and he was directly involved, Smitty

With all due respect if you have seen this then you should know the person. Have them contact me and we can go over it. If I was in the wrong I will make it right but as of today, Adam, the one 1 blower engine linked here off of Speedwake had issues and I sent him a cam of his choice no charge.
B2B's build was brought up. I supplied the cam and many other parts for that build then I was persecuted over after it dropped valve after 27 hours. Some accused me of covering up a lifter issue, but after Todd posted pictures of the lifter then that accuzation was out the door.
So as you say you are not in the loop it is just what you have been told I would ask you to tell the people who know to have the people contact me. My number is 423 391 7774
