[10.90streetcar]

I Just found this site and wanted to say hay. Check out my site www.boydracing.com for some cool Racing Videos.

Wow cool site. I like the videos!! Oh and the picture of the person doing the vidoes is alright too
I don't live anywhere close to Vegas but I would like to run my car down a track just to test it. It is just a street cruiser but I would like to have some time tickets to hang up in my garage with my other stuff

CNC, there is a gentleman who owns a nice bracket car, that just seems to irk many on another site. He and the aforementioned 10.90streetcar have had a little riff, and I myself have had to just ignore some of his inane posts. I guess when someone questions my experience and/or skills as it comes to building trannies or racing, I guess I can only take so much......it's just mildly irritating that his thoughts are very narrow-minded, and he has (IMO) some fairly limited experience with other engine/trans/car combinations, other than his own, which I will agree does not run that badly. As someone who has run BBC's and SBC's in many forms, IE NHRA Super Street-Super Comp-Comp Eliminator-IHRA Top Dragster-brackets carbureted on gas, supercharged and injected on alcohol in a FC, etc., and run everything from 13-second street cars to 6-second stuff, built motors and trannies for over 25 yrs, being told in a roundabout way that I don't have a clue is a little irrational, at least to me. I was more than happy to document my racing career, and the results of my customer's to him, to no avail. I would never post information that is not true, and backed up by my own experience or knowledge. My intent any time I post is to lend help if someone needs it. I remember just starting out and having some helping hands, and am happy to repay the favor if I can. There are many things I ask for help with too. So, sometimes it is just best to walk away from someone's self-centered little world. [img]smile.gif[/img]

CamaroNOTcamero is no stranger to DRR. He Knows exactly what your talking about.

I dont need your extremely biased explaination and bad attempt to put down what he's done.

...I was WONDERING the reason for your comment in a post that had nothing to do with racer1320, which BTW is one of my friends.


furthermore:
"some fairly limited experience with other engine/trans/car combinations"
I'd like to know how a guy from Iowa knows anything about the experience Ed has with other cars and combos?
You've never met him...you really have NOTHING to base that comment on.

More then likey he wasnt telling you that you dont know what your talking about, INSTEAD i think you should thourghly read what he posts, you'd find that he is instead telling you that you dont know whats in getting a nose heavy 3900lb small tire chevelle running 10.40's.

I have nothing against you, You oviously have alot of experience behind what you post, BUT the difference is that Ed has much more experience in fine tuning a street/strip 3900lb Chevelle, which many try to disprove his advice but fail.

Come on guys, give it rest.

If you don't like what somebody says, just ignore it. No big deal, the sun will rise another day and you'll still be breathing. Life wont end if you don't prove yourself to others.

Please reread my post! I am not saying he does not know how to get his car to run well. It does. But, you surely cannot tell me that someone else could not do the same thing with similar limitations of weight, tire size, etc. The irritating thing is how he comes across in sharing his knowledge, as he seems to want to belittle and ridicule anyone who he feels is not up to his level of superiority, which seems to be quite high in his opinion. And this seems to have been just about everyone who tries to communicate with him. My hat is off to him for tuning his car into the mid 10's. He just needs to realize that he is not the only one who is capable of doing that! Again, I know the 'net is a sometimes impersonal way to communicate, and maybe in person he is a much nicer guy than he comes across as. I certainly hope so. The only thing I am stating is that I have done quite a few different things with my own racecars, and have had the opportunity to work with many racers in a huge variety of combinations. The trans/converter is pretty critical to making anything work, and I am sure Ed would agree with that. I have had the chance to help many racers sit down and evaluate their engine/trans/driveline issues to decide just what they want to do. So, you or Ed cannot say that I have never had to work with a similar situation as his car. I lent a hand to a friend with a tank of an all-steel 67 Chevelle, with an oval-port 396 and a TH350, and got it into the 10's with 10" tires, running on Amoco premium pump gas. I did the head work for him, the trans, set up the 12-bolt, and helped him select and assemble the engine. It was more streetable than Ed's combo, with less cam and compression, but still ran 10.70's, which I did not feel was too bad. This was many years ago. I first went down the track myself in 1978, so yes, I am getting old! Again, I am not here to discredit your friend, and I sincerely hope you understand that. Just tell him to be more civil, and he will surely gain some friends! I am happy he has knowledge, just beg him to share it in a positive way. There are many out there who will benefit from it!

Alright

[Bowtie Racer]

Steve "aka Oldani Motorsports",

This is all the right words for the direction that this thread was headed.I wish that I could put my words together in such a "nice"way.

Camaro not Camero,
This is all that I meant by what I said in my"What is BSE ?" post.
I did not mean to put Ed down by no means at all.He has a very nice car & it does run good,but there is other cars & plenty more people out there that is more than capable of running the numbers just like Ed's Chevelle.Ed has just came across as being self centered & on the arrogant side.

My car is not that fast,but it is more than streetable & it weighs right at 3700 lbs W/Driver & has all accessories including my power steering also & I did put a lot of money in the whole car,but it's because everything that I have bought for the car,I have tried to get the "best" products that I could find W/O buying anything from overseas.I did not go with a roller cam,but everything that I bought is good parts & everything that can be done to a block,has been done to mine.

Why do you & others want to put me down for what I have done to my car.Everything that I have done to my car has been because I wanted it that way,not because of what someone else wanted .I could have built my car to run the same numbers for about 1/2 of what I spent,but I did not want to go that route.I have spent lots of money on reliability & insurance,but all I need is a cam/lifter swap & my car would be deep in the 10s.My engine was built very conservatively on performance.
We all like the same sport,so why talk about how one man has gone about doing things.
Opinions are fine,but just leave it at that.Give your opinion & tell your experience & leave it along.I know that I am not by myself on this subject,because I have seen lots more people make remarks towards you & Ed.I know lots have made remarks towards me also,but I hope & try to correct the problem.

I'm not trying to keep a conflict going between Ed,yourself,& me.
I hope that in the future that we can grow to get along a little better than we have in the past,but all 3 of us are going to have to work at that together.I didn't know that Ed had any conflicts with this board,I thought it was only TeamChevelle & I didn't know that until someone e-mailed me & told me so.
I thought that BSE was some sort of big engine builder are something in that nature,I didn't know that it was just a name that Ed made up.

No hard feelings here & I hope that you feel the same way & I also hope that Ed will change his ways.Just as Steve Oldani said, PEACE !

Ed didnt make the name up, a team Chevelle member dubbed it ed's BSE engine (Bigley Specialty Engine).
And My problem with you, is that you continue to discredit the guy, then complain that he discredits you.
I've never said that your car was slow, i just think that you should compaire it to Ed's 3900lb car running 10.48. Do you get what i mean?

"I have tried to get the "best" products that I could find W/O buying anything from overseas.I did not go with a roller cam,but everything that I bought is good parts & everything that can be done to a block,has been done to mine"

I completely agree with that, I have nothing against picking the best parts for your car, but How else would you find the BEST possible parts for your car(Without trial and error), for the money unless you found advice from someone who has already done just that? With the same goals in mind.
This is what i'm doing, I seek the advice of someone who really knows what they're doing, and knows the Goals I have in mind, but has been there and done that.
I'm also building a Small Block BTW, and have selected every single part becuase i think they're the best for the application.

I dont have hard feelings for anyone for will change, but just realise that the change Must come from you. Its simple, if you disagree with Ed try and back up your arguement, and i think you will find that he will show you respect, he more then likely looses respect for someone when they try and discredit what he's done.
