Furthermore, Tom's car isn't an automatic - so what the fark are you talking about? Setting shift points simply means the point he chooses to shift at. Try basic reading comprehension before you go off in your mad rush to pwn somebody. You only make yourself look like more of a fool. (and I didn't think that was possible)


I know his car is a stickshift. Thus me saying you don't set shiftpoints with manuals. I had accidentally put automatic there by mistake, as obviously you do set shift points with autos.

Ok moron, show me one TPI swap I built where I claimed it was 400 HP.

The rest of it sounds like the paniced words of someone who's about to leave us.

Now go over to the Cry-baby Forum & tell them how great you are.

Don't forget to say good-bye while you still can.

Sorry, information on your website shows a apparently stock, or VERY mildly modified, TPI at 450hp.

And even if I do get banned, do you really think I won't come back? Emails are very easy to create, and IPs are very easy to change...

If you are talking about the Purple Pavement Eater, It is far from being a "stock" engine, It was built by the person who built the car.
It wasn't Archie who built the PPE. It was built Rich Warber. As for the 450hp claim, He had a dyno of the engine in his book that he displayed how he built the car at every show he attended. Archie just sold the car for the family after the owner passed away.

Rich Warber had a long history of racing and build engines.

Well you're wrong on that one. #1 I didn't build the car. & #2 Rich Warber had all the documentation to support his claims.

Now, bigshot, where's all those other TPI's that I built & claimed to be 400+ HP?

That's because your technical background really sucks, and you don't know what the hell your talking about. Same for some of your buddies on RFT who think they're the greatest engine builders in the world, and haven't accomplished jack **** , or proved a damn thing by their exaggerated postings, lies, and BS. Just like the one clown who posted he had talked to Keith Huff who converted my car, and claimed Keith said " I sold Tom a Fiero with a "Stock" L98 ". Well guys, they didn't make stock L98's with 1.6:1 roller rockers, aftermarket cam, modified injectors, and two burned performance chips as standard equipment. What are you going to post next? That Keith lied to the two magazines that published articles on the car, stating it had 330 HP !!! 4 different manufacturers clutch setups failed to live in this car (tore the centers out of them in under 1,000 miles), only one found to live was a $1,000 Quartermaster Pro-Series double disk setup, and you don't need that for a "Stock L98". This was all before I purchased the car, brought it back to Michigan, tore the engine down for more improvements, some of which weren't purchased parts like porting, and re-did the entire car.

You clowns are making assumptions on the unknown, because you don't know what's really been done, false information on RFT, and posting a bunch of numbers that can't be directly applied to what I have done. Bottom line is that you can't prove I'm wrong, and I really don't give a damn about suppling you absolute information that I am correct, just to "Own" your a$$, you wouldn't believe it anyway, so why bother. I really like the one a guy posted on RFT that he claimed I only had one (1) Lingenfelter Valve Cover, front one was another make a couple years back, and he had a witness, what a bunch of BS, prove it !!! If you guy's are trying to "Own" me, you'd better at least have some very positive proof of your claims, instead of the BS you've posted. And Aaron, yes I can set a shift point on my car, it's a simple Autometer Tach with an adjustable rpm shift light, the light turns on at your selected rpm.

You clowns must figure, if you post enough lies, everybody will start to believe you, what an incredible bunch of low lifes. Ya know, you guys might just get a little respect, if you get off your a$$es, and do something intelligent with your cars, to show what you got. Frankly, I think all your good at, is sitting at your keyboard, and making an ass of yourself.

I can't prove that aliens exist, either, what's your point?

I told you this has become an ego thing! Nobody needs to "Own anybody's a$$". This is simply about the truth. If you're worried about people believing you, go to a fiero show with a mobile dyno, they're everywhere. If you don't want to, just invite someone along to a dyno shop. If you don't have any friends, take a videocamera. It's not hard. Your sheer resistance to the concept of the dyno, especially a FREE dyno, really only shows one thing - you've used the "guesstimated" HP so often, you've started to believe it yourself, and you don't want to be proven wrong. (and there's the kicker)

btw - the burden of proof is with the person with the claims. I could say I turned a 5hp techumseh lawnmower engine into a 100hp engine, but everyone would say ... that's the point where you whip out the engine dyno. We have reached that point.

He lists NO information besides the terrible ignition and the poor excuse for headers. California Kid's build sheet is more believable.

And I looked through both cites, and din't see a dyno...Just because he can/has built high power motors doesn't mean every one is. I built/am building a blown 406cu in small block, fully capable of 600hp. Does that mean that my 2.8l makes 600hp? God no, it makes what every other one makes, 110whp.

Doesn't deny the fact that imformation on your website shows the car, and claims 450hp with crappy parts. You say documentation, but the only documention I see barely supports 250hp, and doesn't have a dyno. Now if you had a motor built to 450hp, you are going to have a nice build sheet. Yet he tells us about a MSP ignition and Sanderson headers? Personally, with a build sheet capable of 450hp, I'd quote better products than an ignition nobody has heard of, and headers that suck. In fact, even with no name products, I'd quote the ones worth more than $30 and $200. Maybe the $1500 heads that it takes to flow 450hp worth of air? Or the $400 cam? Or the $2000 block?

You don't even know my technical background. And I do know what I am talking about, I have hand built a few small block chevy's, and am currently building another. I am not talking about my "Buddies" over at RFT, and I'm not going to argue on their behalf. If they want to argue for themselves, they can. And who said they were my buddies?

My 200hp Lumina burned through a $600 clutch in a month. Your point?

And it is weird that you are telling us about the unknown. Your horsepower numbers are unknown, we are just using very comparable builds mixed with backgrounds in SBC builds, and the products you quoted, to get a more educated and accurate guess than 400 because it feels like 400. The 350hp Hummer I drove all summer felt like it had 100hp, but that doesn't mean it does.

We aren't the ones posting lies, you are.
