The question was raised if I contribute to the advancement of LS1 technology/modding, this forum and another or simply care not to share what I have learned..... Its really simple, do you think that I have helped move us forward or not?

why give him the satisfaction of even raising the question ?? Do YOU think you've made a contribution ?? That'e the only "poll" you've got to be interested in.

Well I look at it this way, as you should think about it also Phil. I can't please everyone's tastes, and a % are worthless anyway. So why not enjoy pissing them off with my "inexperience". Since most need to polish thier chrome engine accessory covers anyway, before they can over cast thier opinions of my ideas.

Actually, Phil, you've done much more than that. You've ventured where others feared to tread long ago. Also, you never seem to do the obvious or mainstream modding but always have a very unique approach and don't shy away from the difficult projects. I personally feel you have contributed significantly to the LS1 community with your individualistic thinking and your willingness to share your experiences and the unique knowledge you bring to this and other forums.

In other words - hell, yes, you have.

HA !


LS1Tech is one of the most non-technical sites out there. I use to visit it daily, but now rarely do because of all the mis-info spewed there.

Phil; just ignore the "wanna-be's"... you'll never please them anyways.

I find it hilarious that someone thinks I keep all my secrets private. I can't remember a weekend that I don't get a call from someone off LS1tech or Corvetteforum @ 11:00-1:00 when we're @ the bar on a friday or saturday night needing tech help. I see he has the ***** to vote just not reply to this thread....

I think you are a jackazz

serious I enjoy your threads about mods etc. You are probably one of the most helpful guys here not only providing info but answering questions.

Of course if this person knew how to do a search and actually took the time to see some of the stuff you posted....but....naaahhhh...

Have a great day
