Street Outlaws
Noticed on the show last night everyone did a segment on their cars and especially engines, all except Chief. All he did was complain about his engine.
Sounded like all the other guys are now promoting parts and suppliers, even had banners in their shops in camera view. Wonder why Chief said nothing about his set up? You saw the Butler valve cover but that was it. You'd think running for the #1 spot week in week out against those 500-700 cu in engines would warrant some comments on his set up. Kicking their butts with a lowly Pontiac and all. I saw his new Aluminum bare block at Butler back in January, but never heard anything more on it.

Maybe he was unhappy with the issues he was having. Anyone know what happened to the CV1 engine?

For 10 grand he did the right thing. They can't pin it all on him since just one run done better by anyone earlier could have saved time. As far as power, I don't see anyone putting all that power to use on that street, at some point on the street it becomes a balance. His car all along has had the right amount of power for the application. One reason why he, Ryan and Chuck are so consistent, while the big guns are hit and miss. Just wished he'd plugged his Pontiac build like everyone else did.

Let me start by saying I do not watch the show. The problem is almost every time someone says CV-1 a chit storm happens. From my limited understanding, if his CV-1 top end is not done it is just about done. I am sure Bill, or Jim could tell everyone exactly where the CV-1 top end stands and even post some pictures. But based on past events here why would they want to?

I agree. I think it's great that it took the other guys five years and far superior equipment to catch up. A better set of heads (if there is such a thing ) might keep him out in front for a few more years.

Maybe move from a standard port E-head to a wide port...that will probably put him from quickest on the street to untouchable!

What about the other RAV heads out there, DCI and McCarty RAV. You think they would look at them, or maybe they have and decided to use CV-1's.

[QUOTE=GTOGEORGE;5890626]He’s had some ups and downs since then.......life is that way.
GTO George Well according to the pic I posted from 5-9-17 Big Chief already had his CV-1 Heads,valve covers,and Tunnel Ram so if that was going to happen imagine I would imagine with Chiefs work ethic it would already have happened! That was long before his "life s*it happened" it's too bad the CV Folks might have missed a golden opportunity! I hope that's not the case.....The CV heads are out there without a doubt going to be used out there!!!I still don't understand why it takes so long to get something done but I guess it happens every now and then. Hope whatever avenue Chief travels he has sucsess! Knowing his work ethic....he will make it happen!!!Pontiac Powered and all!!!
