[QUOTE]Originally posted by bwkelley76: [QB] Oh no I'm being challenged. Boring man, really boring. Sounds like a clip from the movie American Graffiti, or better yet Fast and the Furious. I can't remember exactly what happened though, I think I fell asleep during that part. This has turned into a battle of who's more compulsive even more-so than a battle of whits and it's become quite LAME. You win the compulsive award. I shall move on. Look my friend, (Sean I believe it is) I don't use engines that others have tuned and built to prove my point first off, nor do I claim they have been running at their present horsepower peak for their entire life when they only have been running those numbers for a short time. Third and foremost I don't run around forums trying to defend my title. You're right, leave it to the track, you obviously have better luck out there. I know what you're up to and I see right through ya. You're not going to get my goat and convince me to a dual over a stupid engine combo that is obsolete these days anyhow. I've moved on with the times and I have no interests in polishing terds with you. I already made my point, I've already made more power out of a 331 than your buddy's 347, and you still push. Go cry yourself a river, I'm really not interested in playing your game any longer. If you're smart you'll take the info I gave you on one of my 331 combos and run with it. It's a much better terd to polish than any 347. Have fun with the business. I'll keep you in mind at my next discussion at the facility and I'll see if we can't donate a real engine to you as I'm sure you will test it to it's "full potential" since you are such a top-notch tuner. The engine will come with a placard stating "To the World's Most Cocky and Compulsive Tuner". ..although I do have a friend back home that may still take the cake on that one. I should introduce you two, you could talk for hours about how your ass-holes don't stink. Meanwhile keep your personal attacks to yourself and quit trying to size me up because my opinion wavers from yours. You have no idea what I know and you'll never get enough info out of me to be able to know. My time at ARC is to obtain on paper what I've already been working with and earned over the last 16 years, as well as a few certifications I need to renew in the automotive field. Education is a constant thing and occasionally I have to go "back" to a community college to renew things if I'm not going back to teach there. Don't be too quick to judge someone who is furthering their education, or in my case renewing my education, and especially don't attack the facility they choose. Apparently you've never accomplished formal schooling or you'd know community college isn't just for dummies. Its ok man I know plenty of drop-outs and under achievers and I don't judge. You're all my pals. But they sure do like to judge each-other and I laugh when they call the kettle black. My time at ARC is my fun-time. In combination with my certification classes, I take a project class for fun while obtaining my Masters in Engineering at another college. But that's OK I don't mind being considered an "ARC student" or "ARC Teacher". Just a word of advice that I learned years ago. Don't ever put down a designer or engineer for their struggles and achievement unless you've earned the degree yourself. Yes I'm aware there are many out there that have never turned a wrench and don't know what it's like to slave in a shop. Those fellas have short careers. Unlike some I've done it the right way and paid my dues first, being a certified technician for 16 years first while doing engineering on the side. I'm apparently good enough at it that I have the opportunity to chose the high-road. So please don't ridicule. It's better pay, better conditions, a lot more fun, and I can still tinker and tune for fun any day of the week, and I'm recognized for my past experiences. I'll see you in the next 10 years, or actually you'll see me and you'll remember, when I'm making over 6 figures stamping my name on your customers' parts, and you're still a struggling shop owner tuning push-rod motors and challenging everyone to a race and a beer that doesn't agree with you. I hope you last long enough. Hang in there and good luck. It's good times. I've been in your shoes, I've owned my own Dyno shop. It's fun at times but hard as hell others. I wouldn't trade a minute of my experiences. Although I loved my business I got smart and sold out once there were 5 other dyno shops in a 10 mile radius. Every racer from here to there thought it was their turn to try and tune. I made a killing when times were good but I had better money coming in elsewhere anyway so I moved on and sold everything for more than I paid. Life's about change and I made more friends than anything, and I NEVER put anyone down or challenged their knowledge along the way. Instead I kept my mouth shut and learned. <----- you should try it sometime. You never know when you may have to move to a new place where no one knows you or even cares what you know. :) Toodles my new friend, I'm sure I'll see you around. [/QB][/QUOTE]
