I could email you from your site but I thought some others here may like to know this stuff too.
1. I know you were going to start offering T-IV parts, but that never really came around. Is that plan dead? 2. You are offering kits now, but I already have pistons/rings/cylinders and big valve heads. Would you do part of a kit? Say the crank, rods, bolts? It just doesn't make sense for me to buy the kit when I have these parts. 3. I've searched the STF for the "best" rod to use and I learned what NOT to use, (Scat- need to remove too much, Stock- too heavy) but can't find what TO use. What will work best? I know you were working with a rod manufacturer that was going to be your supplier when you were going to do the parts gig. Is your rod supplier a secert? 4. I know you have done a lot of development work with WEBCAM and have a lot of special grinds with them. Will they or you sell these grinds to me directly? Or should I just stick with the standard grinds the aircooled.net has? As always thanks for the info and I don't mean or want to try to go around you to a supplier but just want to know the best means to get to the end result. Paul |

QUOTE I could email you from your site but I thought some others here may like to know this stuff too. Thanks paul, but I have gotten into "trouble" by answering these types of things here, some bitchasses don't like it.. QUOTE 1. I know you were going to start offering T-IV parts, but that never really came around. Is that plan dead? Nothing here ever really dies..... I created a ton of enemies with my plans for the store, and just decided to keep silence a virtue till I decide what to do. QUOTE 2. You are offering kits now, but I already have pistons/rings/cylinders and big valve heads. Would you do part of a kit? Say the crank, rods, bolts? It just doesn't make sense for me to buy the kit when I have these parts .A kit- Is a kit! The combination is everything and without getting my heads, you don't get the benefits of a kit... Alot of guys hit this dilemma. EVERYTIME I break my rules I have to talk to the guy for 4 hours wondering why he has head leaks and other issues with my parts- When he don't! Its the heads! There are TWO people in the US that I have found that know these heads and don't butcher them... Thats all. QUOTE 3. I've searched the STF for the "best" rod to use and I learned what NOT to use, (Scat- need to remove too much, Stock- too heavy) but can't find what TO use. What will work best? I know you were working with a rod manufacturer that was going to be your supplier when you were going to do the parts gig. Is your rod supplier a secert? Can't divulge this one online... too many eyes here. QUOTE 4. I know you have done a lot of development work with WEBCAM and have a lot of special grinds with them. Will they or you sell these grinds to me directly? Or should I just stick with the standard grinds the aircooled.net has? I can sell you a cam, no sweat.. QUOTE As always thanks for the info and I don't mean or want to try to go around you to a supplier but just want to know the best means to get to the end result. No sweat.... Just see what the summer holds in store, you never know what may happen.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif) The best thing is for us to chat on the phone. |

Jake, I think that's BS. Those that give you a hard time can bite my ass. Really, your input here is appreciated, and I think most will agree that they have learned from your posts even if they haven't/won't buy one your motors.
