Love how it's still my fault after putting 65 hours of use on my engines... The only issues were not my building but everything Bob had a hand in...

I literally still have not had time to tear into engine 2, been slammed making money like Joe said to rebuild engines AGAIN.... Thanks to Bob spec build.... 2 friends fighting cancer that I spend time to go see, and having my own family and land to clean up for winter I been busy... I have no issues posting more results when I get tnem, hope to this weekend..



Still have yet to see proven long term good results...
Still have yet to get that email back from Bob .....

The best part is I take a ton of heat for exposing Bob and putting every single last detail of my build out there for everyone to pick apart, most guys hide this stuff... I call it live and learn... Don't call Bob

I love how guys like Joe and I have done nothing but show fax but certain people keep trying to defuse the situation from the actual problem

Will be good to get your heads and intakes out to the guy you had in mind down there. Then it's back to what cams again. I'm assuming your going to stay with hyd roller and if so look into the Howards grinds. Ive looked at a ton of shelf cams and always seem to go back to theirs when it comes to narrowing something down as to what I would choose for a certain build. Otherwise call bullet. Littler pricier route but good cores and good guys.

Have you checked out comp cams master lobe catalog? Their marine and HUC series of hydraulic lobes are supposed to be very good. My buddy just ordered a pair of cams from them. He called, gave them the lobe part numbers for intake and exhaust choices i helped him pick out, tell them what lsa and icl you want. Less than a week later, cams are at your door . $410 dollars each. Billet with iron gear

I am using what he says he uses and had success with, too many hands into the fire last time... Talked to few builders they love them, as my buddy does too... Not trying to be a dik but it's in his hands now

I understand completely. The Brodix will leave 30-40hp on the table out of the box to a box stock Super Victor.

Yes I have actually. That's were mine came from. Definitely an option also. They do a tremendous job with hardening process.
