Subject: Can I rant for a moment....... by jsup on 2008/2/26 0:25:10 So I was at the "other place" (sorry bogus but it's part of the story) Some guy, probably a kid, goes out and blows $2200 on a C4 with a blown motor. He asked about "which heads" should he get for more performance. All the dam locksteppers step in with AFR AFR AFR AFR AFR. Now, AFR makes a fine product, arguably the best in the market. Tony I am sure is a real nice guy. This kid buys a $2200 car and barely has enough money to fix it. I reccomend that he look at other brands such as Patriot for $800, perhaps Edelbrock, something more in his budget. I then added for the cost of AFR he can get the Patriot heads, a cam, 1.6 rockers, and a tune, and have tens of dollars left over. Well, I was called an idiot. That only an idiot would not buy AFR heads. I have to ask...WTF is it with people. They grasp on this one thing and in a pack mentality if you do anything different, you are an idiot. I think part of the subconscious reasons I went with Brodix is that this AFR clique just pissed me off. And, BTW, I have read on some other forums that people bench tested Brodix and they out flowed the AFR. So what's the BFD. If you mention anything like that in certain circles, the vultures come out and try to eat you alive. One idiot told me I was leaving 40 HP on the table from AFR to Brodix. How can this guy be taken seriously? I don't know. I don't think you're helping anyone who asks a question if you simply spout brand name crap. |
