Ditto... I feel like I'm reading the nitrous threads on LR. Always ends in the same argument.

How could you not know you stripped multiple header bolts? Did you pour a bottle of Loc-tite down each plug hole with each plug because they wont come out.? Is a spark plug inserted in a stripped header bung standard practice?

You are such a hack who doesn't stand behind his mistakes. Pull out your checkbook and take care of your problems.
Bring the war, YO

Rob needs some help! take the **** wars to another thread!

I've suffered through hundreds of Fast Gator/Rob thread takeovers in the last three years. Keep the war going -- it's payback time for Rob.

I seen some of your handy work at the dyno tuning last weekend. How do you even show your face online anymore?
Why should it go in another thread? This could affect Rob. WTG for having a brothers back Mark!

Prob hiding in a drunken stupper. He is now FINALLY faster,
but until "HE" runs a better et, you know the routine......

Had the truck out late last night, it was Car Show Night so the Hot Rods were EVERYWHERE. The truck is running great, but I def want to add at least another 1lb or 2. I sold all 4 of my Eaton upper pulleys, the hub, and my Puller tool to Brent, and now I have to go out and do it again (&@$%@($&%@$*(&%@$&(@$

Where can I get the cheapest upper ??? and or borrow/rent a Puller tool ???

And does anyone know if Sal's back in town ?

Seemed on topic to me. Tommy offered to help Rob and I wanted to point out what a mistake that could be.

Not believing my ears I rigged up a dial indicator over the valve stem and reran the test, at 20-psi air started passing between the valve and the seat and at the same time the dial indicator moved showing the valve really did open.

The back side of the intake valve is no more than 3 square inches which means that the spring's seat pressure would have to be less than 60 pounds to allow the valve to open at 20 psi. Anyone know the spec for the stock intake valve seat pressure?
