Wow, you really missed the point. That's to be expected considering the source. I wouldn't listen to anyone who thought a GM hot cam was a good idea.....

The hot cam doesn't. The engine does; an engineer understands this.

Well your not helping anymore. You clearly have issues. I removed all my posts and will be leaving this forum. You win. I can clearly state, all i wanted is to help, chat, and even offer free parts and help. Previously , I was a donating member. I am sorry but i am tired of the immature, big headed , talk on here. Last name had over 200 posts (Zryder07), gave handful of free stuff away, just to be crucified by the same douchebags on here. Clearly, these people speak on behalf of the forum as very few stand up against or want to acknowledge. Anyone with creativity, works with fiberglass, does anything non OEM, will be shunned. Suggest mods to remove me and posts as i will stir the pot with this huge spoon

Stereotypical of vette owners - entitled

I will stay with my SCCA friends. This forum is only good for the classifieds.

I clearly said it can be done intentionally. In you're previous post you said small spins in 2nd and 3rd. That's clearly not "blowing" the tires off. Let me say right now...I'm not getting involved in the pissing contest of a subject.

even with the lower HP I’m still spinning. Isn’t tire spinning blowing off the tires. Even if it’s for 10 ft.
Now that I reread my earlier post yes it sound confusing.

But yes this thread did get more into personal attacks rather than answering the OP. Everyone’s a genius behind a keyboard lol.

OH. And for the record. I’m not an engineer. Lolol.

Maybe that's were this went wrong. I started the thread for a little real world talk....hate to see anybody get worked up over it.

But I'm an Engineer also. Electrical Engineer that focuses on automation using DCS's/PLC's, and Unit's.

Not much help with "car stuff", but it does instill a set of thorough troubleshooting skills that can be applied to anything.
