Re: Porting, Using a Mill

I would consider that to be “pre-porting” machining. Now the hard part starts. Yep ... I use a mill for getting the pushrod wall straight at the thickness I want. I agree. Not a bad thing to do. But the beginning of the beginning. I'm getting older and lazy, so anything to help. I have some I do th...

Re: Pulley run out?

Exactly. I never knew they would even worry long before .0025 off on a pully. I see a lot of new cars where there is a few thousands of pully off center vibrating the belt without being obvious even revving it. I say that perfect .. send it!

Re: Weight BBC V's SBC

SBC with nitrous. I would lean toward the Turbocharged sbc for reliability, especially if one can afford an aftermarket block. Nitrous is hard on stuff. People get scared of forced induction on a daily when they need to be afraid of nitrous. Sorry if I offended anyone on the laughing gas. At least ...

Re: SpeedTalk for Sale

Still too early for me to collect all my thoughts from some pretty serious brain surgery here but I hear that Mike Jones might be taking over speed talk. Mike, I am remembering all those times when you helped out on my projects for which I am very grateful. This looks like a time when I can repay y...

Re: If you have ever bought smething because of Speedtalk, let me know

Have you purchased something, directly from someone on SpeedTalk? Were made aware of a company, product or service, because of Speedtalk? If so, purchased that product or service ? Two camshafts from you. Almost two more but things got busy at my end.. Speedtalk hooked me up. I recommend this forum.

I wish one of the press would ask that question.
