The last set of AFR's I bought came from Bob too, and he talked me down to the 305's too. But what do I know, because I didn't build my last boat motor. yes, I had S30 do my 509, because he had the equipment to pull the motor (that I don't have) and worked at a machine shop I trusted that could do everything else that needed done. So my boat was sitting 5 hrs from my house. Truthfully not worth the time to haul it back and forth when it could be done and done well right there.
I'll be the first one to say I've learned a thing or two from Mike, and I'm sure he will tell you, he's learned a thing or two from me over the years we have been friends. At the end of the day, I've had good times with Mike, Icdedppl, KVogt, and many others here, in person, whether it has been working on things, dynoing engines, discussing things, boating, or sharing a few cocktails, and learned a few things from all of them. And that right there, is what it's all about. |
zone,i am not new at this engine build thing,that being said since i started working with bob madera all projects have produced good numbers.some don,t care for bob,some don,t care for straub/foxwell.i am pleased with bob and i think he is a sharp guy so i will continue to work with him.a couple of my close friends don,t care for bob but they are still my friends and i am sure that wont change.one thing is for sure,we are all entitled to our opinions and as long as oso rules are not broken we can speak our minds.in my mind the tech section has turned into something other than tech conversation and some of the sharpest guys don,t post anymore because of the crap that has been spewed lately,jmo/

This isn't Mike's first rodeo with engines. He doesnt need to be told who he should, or shouldnt listen to.

I wish you guys would drop this one. There's obviously a lot of knowledge hashing it out here but it's not the conducive learning environment that a tech section would want to be.
There's no single engine recipe that is the nuts, it's about compromise and some of the factors in a build's success can't readily be quantified. Orlandi, Tkach, and Mild have all helped me in one way or another and I enjoy/appreciate that but sometimes it's best to step away. Can we just agree to disagree about who did what? |

When something you're engaged in has 0 positive effect on your life, long term or short, it's 'tarded. Let's not be 'tards. :) |
I hope Bigboat got something of interest out of this Chit storm

Lol, ya Mike, I do. But this is one just 'tarded, and that's against my religion. There are no engine gods (well maybe Sterling), everyone has made mistakes in the past and repeatedly hashing them out has no positive effect.
