Yours isn't the first ST I've seen keel over, and I have no idea how their bandwagon hasn't been sunk yet.

Look at skunk2's first 5000+ cams that trashed motors in 1999-2000. Look at them now. Its amazing they are even in business after that.

Does anybody know of a place than can do sonic testing? Standard testing wont work with the friction welded valves.



JD?

I thought that was Crower's fisrt run of B-VTEC cams? Or the OG LS cams that simply didn't make power, so they stole Webb's profiles.

Plenty of people have the same opinion (probably more) about your friend Dave Hickman.

Endyne's new head is not a CDM copy of the copy that you can get at autozone...and he may be cocky, arrogant and full of a lot of stuff, but he has been pretty successful and if you get him chatting, he is fairly open to sharing ideas and giving good advice. More than most of the ******** you call these days and talk and talk and talk about everything they have ever done (10 years ago) and how cool they are, but basically its all bullshit and they arent really educating anyone, just tooting their own horn.

That head is a cdm head that has been out for like 4 years now through other vendors.



Endyn took 10 years to get out a supercharger. He got popular selling a piston anyone could get. His dynos/flowsheets dont represent the motors he throws out there


I have seen to many ENDYN motors make **** poor power and now he is selling CDM products has if they are TOP notch ----. He's just to old to grind a head now so he has 12 year old kids running machines in china now for him.





Go endyn :1

You stuck him with a Duty/Tax bill and you expect him to help you out?

Everything I've heard was old hat about DH vs Omniman. Given Omni's product line, uhm, I don't care who was right I'll side with the old man in the desert. It's especially easy for me to do so since I don't think I've ever read a single post he's ever made.

I can list seven questions - the last seven threads I made on the TOO board - that I asked him where he made this great big noise about how it was such a great question, typed 3-4 long paragraphs hinting at things and summing up that he'd get back to it if/when he had time. I found all of my answers in internal combustion engine engineering primers, and I can relate them to the layman in 2-4 sentences. So, if he's offered you a little basic observation that's great a lot of people can do that, too. But don't confuse it for being the font of ------- knowledge he sets himself up to be, he was summed best as a salesman of parts you can get elsewhere and no one's ever seen anything of his that ran anywhere near what it should given his opinion of himself.

Dude get the parts and have the local machinest that have a good name in your area put that thing together. They are usually straight forward people that help with the little guy as long as you don't cheap out to the idiot looking for a break. ---- BIG BUILDERS. They'll give you the same thing as everyone else they've had come to them. Get a guy who has to look up specs and read whats best for you. It may cost you a lil more but your also talking about someone who hasn't got caught up in corporate bullshit about saving a buck. Local small time engine builders are the bomb. Not only from what me and widebody have where the guy backs his ---- up. But every dirt track guy I know leans on the local guys.

lets get one thing straight, I dont know what he is talking about. There was only one fedex bill and that was for $74. I called up fedex and left them my CC and it went away so thats all I know.


If I spent BIG$$$$ at xenocron I expect you to help me out when your product fails and not blame it on the ------- resistors/chips you buy.


and I am buying dustins head
