Hey Bruce,
You are correct. Everyone at AMR is open about our cars. (From my C5Z to robz's car) I know that Tommy and Troy will not disclose their tune or cam specs just like any other shop. But as you have witnessed, we are glad to assist other fellow racers through our posts or PMs. Stay tuned for more amazing times and info behind them.

You just came across like a certain shops CRONIE and I didnt think thats how AMR was but maybe things are gonna change for the worse IMO. I dont think Kurt was asking for you to be a "ANSWER MAN" with all the answers. Just thought you may know something about your car. Apparently you dont or you race for $10k on the weekends per race like fast and furiuos style.

Good luck and keep up the great work and the AMR guys really do seem to be able to squeak every bit out and find the little things that make it all come together. Congrats to them on making yet another car absolutely awesome.

Wow! Thank you I think. . . I do know something about my car but like I said, I am not good with the technical issues, shoot me. I live in an area where we are very lucky to have many corvette shops and I have been to a few of them.

C'mon man, you don't know me. I feel I am being attacked here in public because I admit I am not an expert with building or driving cars.

I'll tell you what I told him in the PM (like it matters at this time) . . . I bought the Head cam package from a street racer and don't know the specs. . . I have what i have. If I knew the specs on the heads and flow rates and whatever else there is with valve sizes and whatever I would be more then happy to share but I do not know. Would I have changed it if it wasn’t exactly what I thought I needed? Of course not, it was/is what it is. I told you and everyone else the heads say LANDY's on them, if your interested in that information, you can contact them.

I check this page as a reference. I too am a troll however, I feel that I have shared information. I've been to a few shops not just AMR and listen to what they have told me. But talk about coming off as arrogant and saying I am a CRONIE? What do you and Kurt want from me?

My headers and rear were installed in one shop and my first tune was from Corvettes of Westchester. Another was ECS and another somewhere else. I've tried a lot of different things throughout my build process.

I am NOT an expert and do not want to try to act like one by giving the wrong advice to anyone period.

Sorry if you think of me as arrogant or ignorant . . . The difference between you and I is that I wouldn't say that to a perfect stranger on a public forum.

Well all i want from you is fun, Kurt may want some sort of homosexual favors for all I know he does go that way. We love you with your flaws anyway and we can all be CRONIES together if you like. Drunk ones if you want. No attacking you just came off as to be to good or a top secret agent with your car. We (those that are posting in the performance section) like sharing to help each other go faster. You seem to have learning somethings that really worked for your combo/car/track/you. You can choose to share or troll as you said. Either is just fine we just like having fun and I thought you were kinda beating up little kurty and maybe you dont like him cause he's into guys but thats between him and bubba not CF performance section/cronies.

Next beer is on me when at Atco and Kurt yes you can have a Strawberry Daquirie.

Thanks for the update Gary and I look forward to you finding some really badass rear suspension/trans/rear setup that you want to change yours out and sell me yours very very cheap

so what exactly did AMR do on this car to get shop credit for running 10s?

Brucy boy....are you saying i can come to atco? maybe i can run 10s there...chase that with my daiquiri wooooo....then i will give your fiance **** pleasures as she likes while you play with your butt plug and no lube

Bruce any chance you'd wanna meet half way for a track meet this fall?

and as far as not disclosing tune specs...i think that is wack....x amount of fuel + x amount of spark with y fuel can only make z power....no other ways around that...but what do i know...i just change stuff in my tune till something happens

Fartpipes getting a little fresh.

Kurt, don't be so nosy.

Nobodys gonna know anything about my new setup either. Just got a box in the mail, ordering some more stuff tomorrow. All you gotta know is its a motor with heads on top and a cam somewhere in there.

Actually, I already had the McLeod when we met. My Exo had a design flaw which they fixed, but I bought a McLeod while I was waiting. Sold the Exo.

About the same as other tracks. During a race day, I would expect it to be tight. On a rental, you SHOULD be legal....

If ya'll really want this to happen, I can set up a rental. I am good friends with the new marketing girl.

everybody interested start thinking of a list for date to race and make the committment early on so noones sisters cousins uncles daughters baby being born can get you out of it or lose depoisit. bring trailers this could get ugly. also time track rental runs from in am to pm,prep of track, who takes care of track (waterbox, sweeping burnout and launch areas etc) we do that ourselves at atco but they keep personal there for cleanups and also any other things that might arise.
