Re: [DMCForum] Constructive/Deconstructive-- Exuberance/Naivety



HEY!  what about your anus!?  

It's not a matter of public belittlement.  It is a matter of someone
else's arrogance getting so inflamed that it needs to be set straight.  I
feel personally offended when people make wild claims that have no chance
of being successful.  You know why?  Because it belittles the time, work,
and money that I've put into my car.  It's also insulting to anyone that
spends money on any engine modifications, and every engineer that works
in the automotive field that can not even do in a lifetime what this
person can do in his garage.  

Claiming that you can get 400 hp out of any engine is a reasonable feat. 
Claiming to get it out of a 20 year old motor in a month's work for $2000
is scathing.  

Here's some constructive criticism to everyone: Do not make wild claims
in the hope that someone will believe you and support your effort.  If
your effort is ridiculous, I might be the first to tell you so.  I am no
stranger to ridiculous efforts, hell, look at my car!

FYI, whalt was not very constructive with my radio transmission idea, but
he's probably right.  It's not a very good idea because of reliability
and electromagnetic interference it may create.  I still maintain that it
is the best idea if you want to change as little as possible on your
car... plus it would be totally reversible.  I get enough flack over my
irreversible modifications, I was just thinking of the rest of you, so
blah!

Here's a bold move- If the 'modification' comes out and is what it claims
to be, I will make a public apology and personally buy you one.

Jim

ps Deconstructive?  isn't it destructive? ah, nevermind.
