I should of done this a while back, my name is Sid, I'm 51 and live in Odessa Tx. I love my family and I really enjoy racing. I have a 87 Silverado that I'm always trying to figure out how to make it a little faster. I have been visiting your site for a while now and you have helped me a lot already, I'm amazed at what you guys know, great site. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I don't know about Don, but I never practice with customers stuff, that can cause problems. We just look at what they have and try to make it only a little better. As with the Dart Pro 1 355 head, thats a very good piece, we have just learned how to make it a little better and proved it with some pretty cool dyno testing. I get paid to do my job. Practice comes from me @ the track with my 3 cars and seeing what we can find that will break and fix it before it does! Welcome.

The difference between a smart person and a wise one is exactly what you said you do with your stuff! We have already eliminated the practice so you don't have to touch the fire to see if its hot!

So are you saying you know it all already, and no longer need to learn anything new? WOW wish I was dat smart. This post is kinda confusing to me. I have to admit...if I'm working...I'm playing at it. No matter the job. If I'm not having fun I doubt I'm getting involved with the project. I enjoy this stuff enough I try to help out when I can....making money or not...Yeppers...I get trashed cause I'm willing to help out when I can for free. But for me,... it always seems to balance out. I don't have to have my hand out everytime I open my mouth. My payment comes in many other ways besides the all mighty $$$. But you know what...I usually gain more customers with this attitude then I do by standing on a soap box thumping my chest bragging up what I can do for people. That and how reliable my stuff is.

JMO....
