Too much timing?
ever thought of writing this all down in a book?
Don't get too excited, there are plenty of guys here that are waaaay smarter than me. Being semi retired at age 68, I just have the time to run my mouth. I know a little about a lot, but not particularly a lot about a little. There are quite a few guys here that do..... know a lot, in their chosen fields, and occasionally beyond.
However, I thank you for appreciating my long-winded posts; not everyone does. Some guys say that I'm a post-***** whatever that is, or that I just like to hear myself talk, lol. Well hey, I only have 12 promised years left in me, if the world doesn't end first, so maybe they are right.
Most of what I write (except for in the N&P Forum) comes from personal experience, but not all; and when it doesn't, I preface it with IMO. So whenever you see "IMO", you can separate my experience from my opinion, pretty simple. And just cuz I have a certain experience, doesn't mean someone else cannot have a different valid certain experience, in the very same area. This hobby is infused with many different ways to get to the same end-result. IMO, I have the best 360 combo ever built. In another's opinion, I shouldda built a 340 or a 318, or a smaller cam or a bigger one or why in heaven's name do I have alloy heads, etc. I doubt there is a perfect combo. For instance, my combo is on it's third iteration and I had high regards for each one. But this third iteration, IMO, is not as good as the previous one. Oh sure, I made it work, and it is faster/quicker/and more powerful than either of the first two,but IMO, the previous was more everything else, especially more fun, and most especially, easier on gas-money. So while each iteration started out as perfect for me, me changed, and then the combo was no longer perfect. I just try to help people not get into this type of situation in the first place.
