Don't be mad at me, Wilcox made all the power.. all I did was tune and drive it..
It doesn't take a 455 with SD heads to run mid 10's... just an FYI..

The guy that claims he can get 400 plus out of an E-head and then realized his bench was off by thirty numbers?

Again, the guy flaked out but it doesn't negate what he has proven on the track with all brands.

Agree.... He seemed like quite the talented individual.

IMO.... You two should be on the Pontiac Legends list.

Really? I never would have guessed that he didn't get huge number from them. I mean Gach had a set and verified the flow. He wouldn't lie would he?
But he does have talent, sorry things appear to have go gone south

Maybe Gach will fill us in. I know he was a big fan that became a big hater but he had unbelievable results with his stuff.

Porting heads, rebuilding carburetors and building an occasional engine.... How 'bout yourself?

Any way u twist it, Dave has way more power and builds under his belt... he may have become flakey and a total disaster but the guys has proven numbers.. do u have any cars running low 4's? He went 4.09 in 92 with a 377ci 23° small block...
You supply parts to a 7.80 Buick... bravo... and call me to ask about a breaking up issue... I told u what I thought and called Dave to verify... u told me later that was the issue and it's solved.. and thanked me...
U play the politician with your words here... don't want to seem like an ass like me or people won't call...I get it..
So what cars do u have that make the power and track record Dave has.. he helped Steve Dale go 4.11 I believe with tiger heads...
There is video..
I mean, he's been out the game for a few years now... u must have surpassed him....

You must be drinking again.... The Buick runs 6.60's btw. If I recall you actually nailed the high rpm miss issue.

I'm at work...the frown on that here. U are very accomplished and highly regarded in the BOP community... can't take that away from you!
Don't be so quick to pounce on Dave as u and others have in the past...
We were good friends at one point and don't know what happened to him... we all have struggles and life issues... hard to say without walking in his shoes...

Amusing comment but wrong. No clue from either of you. TYPICAL

I am retired, No need to work, just reading the posts and making comments about 1996.. 1996 did happen. TWO SECONDS faster than any other Pontiac Engine racer out there in 1996 running a true Pontiac engine.

All that needs to be said. You can go back to your urination contest now.
