The ODB, question about your heads / intake inside.

I'm going to do a head upgrade this spring and your combo peaked my interest. Would you mind sharing the specifics about your heads and intake?

Exactly what work was done?
Do you have the flow numbers?
Did you do the work yourself or have it farmed out?

You can e-mail me if you would prefer to discuss it off list.

Thanks
Dan W

I thought it might be a private thing since you race for cash. Seems like most guys who are competitave like that aren't real willing to share the key details.(with good reason) Thanks for the info... glad to see youre not one of those guys.

I had to stop racing for cash in 1996 because never losing makes you a lot of enemies. The money wager on this board was to prove a point that my car would run the times & mph I stated. That was hardly a gamble since it already happened. The parts inside the engine was hardly a gamble either since I know what is in my engine. Those guys were just nonbelievers and being foolish about it.
Hope the info helps you out.

Sorry ODB... that was my point too. I can appreciate the need for some "corporate secrets" when it comes to winning at the track! No hard feelings ment.

Are you trying to tell me you never threw one or two early in the night to set up some chump or other? Why do I find that hard to believe?

Are you sure you read the same posts as I did? Maybe you'd like to take him up on a race eh? I think you failed to notice that The ODB is a cosumate street-racer, and had pulled the wool over quite a few people's eyes. I would probably have a few misgivings if I had to race the guy. If you want more on my opinion (which I doubt) you can go here:


Moderators: If this turns into another gang-bang, lock it up please.

well guys you can play your silly games on another board. this isn't going to turn into another long post that proves nothing. it seems it looks one way to some and another way to others. i took the links out so no one can gather fresh ammo for the next time it comes up and if it does come up on my board it'll be locked or deleted. if you want to continue this please go to macgyvers board. he would welcome the visit and the rules are differant there. www.nethirdgen.org
thank you for understanding
