Mr Vizard I’ve enjoyed your books in the past, I’m sure many people here don’t realize you are. You are a man of much automotive knowledge

Can we make this thread a sticky? The entertainment value alone is worth it.

Hes been mighty quiet though...

Yikes. I sure hope it's closed deck and has the 2/3 split fixed.

No offense but you come off like one of those toy-sizrd dogs jumping up and down yipping desperate for attention. If this were a cartoon a Mastif would roll his eyes and lay a paw on you and squish you with a yelp.

Or maybe lay off the Red Bull. For a guy with that much white hair you type like you're 18 yrs old.

We all share our hard won experience for free in life, video or not. So less patting yourself on the back, eh?

I think of it more as defending my position here as it affects my livelihood.
And BTW we will be using whatever it takes to make that 700 RWHP. If it needs a billet block that's what it will get. Making 700 at the wheels should not be too difficult as that is almost 500 hp less than I made from a 2.0 turbo motor that right royally cleaned up at the track.

Did it last? What kind of price tag did that involve?

Don't be so hard on yourself by showing you have no clue how to have an adult conversation

I do know how. Your being easily offended, and on other people's behalf, isn't my issue. Settle yourself.

This dude is a charlatan. Nothing more.

It was almost cost no object and it could do about 30 -40 passes before needing a total rebuild.

Your comment:- This dude is a charlatan. Nothing more.

That's just your opinion. If it is as accurate as your initial statements (and most others) it's pretty worthless!

I do like your video graphic, "Ecoboost Performance Found on NO OTHER CHANNEL!!!!!"

Ah....that was a good laugh.

While you are laughing find what I have said in that video, in it's entirety, on any other channel(s)

I am shortly turning out some ecoboost video's which has content I defy you to find on any other channels.
And BTW while you are busy running me down why don't you do a video on something useful for Ecoboost owners. Just a moment - I think I already know why - maybe you have nothing useful to say!
Of couse I could be wrong but I would need some proof of such!

Understand. But a ballpark figure would be helpful. As would an expose in which sub items of the expenditure were most useful.

Supposed to be. But the bio and the posts don't match up on gravitas.
Plus way too much hand waving and so far, no useful or new insights.

Hoping for better to come.
