I didn't say that at all. I said Deakins is the only Engineer
I think an engineering degree and an in depth knowledge of fluid dynamics and the assciated math is qualificaition enough. OH, and combined with years of providing specifications for motors, not picking parts off the shelfs, is highly qualified.

This is a very complicated question and people will generally fall on one of two sides; either they will be an experienced porter that has done a lot of grinding and testing, grinding and testing, repeated hundreds of times to develop their skill set, or they will be more from the academic community that does more work on paper before the grinding begins. Both make some very effective units; we just go about getting there a little differently.
.
Thinks of it this way:
-Theory is what "should" or is "expected" to happen
-Experience is what "DID" happen
So before you go and step all over the experienced guys like me or even more experienced like TJ for lacking the "theoretical" knowledge you feel is necessary to comment on a topic, think again.
Most people would rather have their engine builder say it WILL make this much HP from experience rather than it "should" make that much power due to calculations.

Also, calling out a member is not acceptable, and should be avoided in the future.
This forum rule needs to be revisited:
Personal attacks/hostility toward others
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Forum should be a place where we treat one another with civility so that it remains a fun and friendly place to hang around with other Corvette enthusiasts. Hostility to others is rude and inappropriate.
Personal attacks cannot be tolerated. Attack ideas, not fellow Forum members.

The forum doesn't need the drama

If there is any further name-calling, hostility, or disrespect towards any member in here, future threads of this subject will be locked and those offenders will be permanently removed from this site. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. If I have to explain what that means to anyone, they too will earn a vacation.
This is a FINAL warning...heed it well.
