I am one of what?

One of those people who say "I know a guy who had a real fast car and had great flowing heads".....as if the fast was all because of the heads. I call them leghumpers. Ya know, someone who spouts off useless figures as if they have any bearing on performance.

Do me a favor, do not start a head thread here, I've been through it, and the following are all urban legends:

1. Exhaust flow plays a big role
2. Small runner with bigger flow is always better

and more.

So one of those refers to the catalog reading ill informed who perpetuate bad information across the internet.

I could be wrong, and I hope I stand corrected, but not as that post I cited as evidence.

Again, I plead for the forum, don't make me start a head thread chock full of facts and concepts that you will not be able to argue, and concede that these pre conceived notions you are perpetuating are wrong.

Just from your posts I will bet $100 that you own, or you recommend a particular brand of head....want me to guess which?

Sorry. I dont know what you are getting at. I own 3 Corvette's, and they are all modified. I have been racing for many, many years. I call it when I see it.

I don't have a clue who you are, but you are making quite the impression. I heard from a few guys that you made the same impression on another forum as well.

Yes, I do make an impression. Thank you. I'm actually fairly simple to figure out, I am not an enigma. If someone makes a particular claim I expect it to be supported by science, not anecdotal evidence that "I know a guy"....just sayin'..


Perhaps I was wrong, and jumping the gun, but we'll see. Just understand the four words that drive me up the wall are "port size" and "flow numbers" as they have little bearing on choosing the right head for a particular application. When you made the comment "and they even had better flowing heads"....my leghumper radar went nuts. You can understand that can you, since the statement was utter bullshit in the context in which it was presented..with no real particulars on the engine other than flow numbers, no point was made...

So if I had a hair trigger, I apologize, time will tell..

I have a suspicion my hunch is right.
