Re: Kenny vs. Larry - LOL!
"Please spare us all the "safety" drama!"
When I'm letting out the clutch going from 1st to 2nd and the surge came on and my car suddenly leaps forward half a car length almost hitting the car in front of me - that's the safety issue I'm talking about. I happened earlier this week.
"It also pains me to see this public forum be the flogging place for tuners..."
I was asked a question and I answered it (almost halfway down page 2). I am given a car that did not meet any of the tuner's promises and I am told by the tuner that the only way my car will run right is to give him around another $4,500. I was asking if there is a way to get it to run right with what I had and not have to spend more money.
"Oh yeah... one more thing: I call BULLSH*T on the heads being too much for a ROE car. Pleanty of naturally aspirated cars run the Stryker heads (even the RACE version) and they run fine. What makes your so special?"
Larry himself told me the Striker heads were too much for the Roe after he put them on. He got the David Weaver crank pulley to add more boost. Larry did everything he could to have the right boost. In the end he told me that he could get a 12 pound boost, but then the heads flowed so much the boost fell off to 10 or 8 pounds. That I accept and it's not a problem. Sir Larry did the best he could at getting whatever power there was to be had from the combination and he did a good job, too. So, are you telling me that Larry is telling me BULLSH*T when he told me the Striker heads were too much for the Roe?
Larry, myself, and all the people who have driven with me wonder why car is so special and hard to tune so it does not have surging and all the other major issues it does have. Many people here have given me their opinions on what it will take to fix the problem and I thank everyone for that. I don't want to burn bridges - I want the car I paid close to $28,000 for modifications and tuning to run right. That is all.
