Don't waste your time with this clown zone.
The guy doesn't even build his own stuff.
The truly ironic part of his 6 month long butt hurt is that, just last year, he would regurgitate info he got from bob as "good tech" and now HE has a new "hero" because bob disagreed with some of what he read somewhere, told him so, and shattered his glass ego.
priceless!

.A guy who has yet to hit the water with his 24ft'er he bought, or complete his first marine engine build, and tells everyone to go to his "carb guy", because he did such a good job on his carb for this offshore vessel. Please, lets all listen to you're advice, on how to dial in a 40ft offshore boat ...you have such vast experience! And I don't work on my own stuff? Who's pot you been smoking???!!!
Wait wait.....here come the truck driver insults.....

I haven't seen a post from horsepower1, related to advising someone of what works in drag racing, to work in offshore. I know plenty of builders who can build both.
Now you're a cylinder head expert? lol Actually, why don't you tell curtis boggs or darrin morgan, to stop posting pictures of work they have done on cylinder heads....throw those flow benches away!
Wow. A 509ci turning 5500 rpm....state of the art man. What was that, 600HP? Its 2015, if a guy who claims to be an expert offshore engine builder, can't keep a 600hp 509 together, he shouldn't be building any engines.
.
You know who the guys are that are always crying about "correction factors"?? Those are the guys, who usually built engines of similar components, and didn't make the power number the other guy did. So they start talking about "correction factors" and "glory pulls".
I don't care what he did for a living. lol, you and several others here, seem to love bringing up what a guy does, or did for a living, as pertinent info towards his or her engine building capabilities, or knowledge. So what does make one's advice worth listening to ? Selling parts and specing engine builds from your kitchen table? NOT wrenching on engines, rigging, electrical, drivetrains, and so on?
Here's how I see this. You and a few of your longtime buddies from the interweb, mainly boatfreaks.org, have some kind of vendetta with Chris and Foxwell. Thats your issues, and maybe warranted. However, its tiresome, watching you guys pop out of the woodwork, every single time theres a post from him, or along the lines of something that may not be in your parties best interest. I've read plenty of foxwells posts on other forums, and while certainly no expert, I can tell who knows some stuff, and who doesnt. I certainly don't feel, that him being an oso member, is going to be a burden on other oso members looking for advice. So, while you want to run him off this site, bring something good at least. If he posts up garbage, call him out on it, and back it up with hard facts. I'm not talking about what he posted 10 years ago on some other forum. I know some guys who 10 years ago, were were freshmen in college, and couldn't build a go kart engine, and today, are building/tuning 2000HP engines. We are all learning something new everyday. If we werent', we'd all still be impressed about a 5500RPM 509 engine making 600hp.
As far as who's drinking what kool aid, I can assure you, it goes much further than "chicago". But, we will never see that, because those threads get deleted around here.
My "hero" LOL. I didn't know I had a hero, so thanks for telling me, I have to "assume" that you are talking about who built my engine. He is not in business to try and sell you parts like straub and steel chump. There is no such thing as the perfect part for an engine. There are 1000 variables. So to tell you to use brand Z, could be totally wrong. Just as if you asked me what jets I use in an 850 Holley. No matter what I tell you, its going to most likely be wrong depending on your application. And "my hero" doesn't need any defending. He can take care of himself. As I have posted before, he built my 509 that never saw below 5500 RPM for 7 years, and never had anything except oil changes in that time.
.
Lots of people on OSO have an opinion. all negative. you and your chicago buddies seem to be the only ones drinking the kool-aid. Do some homework on straub and wet exhaust. Then do some homework on steelchump and what his drywall background was. Then ask yourself why they use cam profiles that every experienced engine builder says can't work and claim stupid amounts of HP with. Its a huge game of smoke and mirrors. But hey, if you like the taste of the koolaid, have at it.

Yes what you do for a living has all to do with building engines... Like my best bud... Fastest 353 known...107 mph.... He's a cable guy.... Engines well over 800 hp that get beat for years... Runs every weekend... So throw that chit out the window.... My buddy Bill.... Works for a beer company... One of the best local builders around from his garage...
