Excellent advice.

Is that the only reason? Is it also because they make alot of profit on the kits, maybe?
What precision are we talking about here? PSI? Config settings? EGT? Care to explain? Or did the word precision just seem to make it sound like you might know something?

Again - all ears.

Maybe you're a gambling man, but I would not bet on what's best for a particular application without having a few questions answered first. You got a crystal ball? What's his budget? What application? A plethora of other factors to affect what's best for him.

Crappy, baseless advice.

All I can say is....

OK, only 90% wrong. Good enough?

So let me get this straight. Im wrong because i didnt give enough details, i didnt ask enough questions, and water/meth injection does nothing to clean up carbon build up?

This is the second time me and you have ruined a thread in a pissing match. Ive helped alot of people on here and alot of folks that live around me. I might not know every little detail about every single thing but i know enough about alot to atleast get them in the right direction and most times help them out with the install, swap, or rebuild. I told you what i thought of you before and you got pissy cause i judeged you off what you said. That was wrong of me and I apoligized. Your judging me off posts and comments. How hypocritical is that? Please feel free to come to the springs and meet me. I could use help. Doing a VGT swap on the 24v plus cam, rods, and valves. Putting a double disk in the 6.7 and Im rebuilding a 413 to put in my Dart. Plus trying to figure out why my old polaris 250 wont get spark to the plug. So please, you want to judge me, do it in person.

i thank you all for the advice but i would rather we save the highschool BS for the drag strip. all im here for is advice, AND I THANK YOU! but if you want to talk smack get each others email and do it that way instead of filling up the post with junk. this website is to help guys/gals out, this isnt the lifetime channel and if i wanted that crap i would watch tv. im not pointing fingers, im just saying lets keep this helpful. thanks

Uh, that would be incorrect - not that I care. Just setting things straight, really couldn't possibly care less.

Why do people get their knickers in a twist over the Internet? It's mostly an ego thing. Some people imagine they have an Internet reputation to uphold by demonstrating extensive knowledge, skills and experience in the cyber world they really do not possess in actual reality. Keep it in perspective. It's just the Internet.

Like Clint said: "A man has got to know his limitations."
