Default Special Tool information

Hello,
Bought the head off of Special tools car. Had him install a cam and bought some electronics, clutch, intake that was to be machined and gaskets to put together.

On the head. I don't know how he made 600hp. It's a mess. Way to rough of swirl. Flow through head is different at every port. Increase the velocity and it doesn't change linear, it stuffs in 2 of the ports and drops flows. Had to be burning piston with 2 lean and 2 rich. I told him the only way I'd buy the cam was if it was set up for a milder tune. It was a more aggressive cam with more lift. Now, throw in the 1 year and 6 month wait to get a pos.

Clutch, unusable piece of junk.


Electronics never seen.

Intake been done for a year but never shipped. From his mouth.

So, legal action against him and his family since he used his wife/ ex wife paypal account. She says she has no knowledge of. Well, it had to go in an account with her name. And if mailed checks she had to sign.

If Special tool owes you money please e me. I'm trying to build a larger case against the crook.

Rick

The head was specially built for his 600 hp dyno pull. The cam went with it for that big *** turbo he was using. It didn't have anything to do with the intake IIRC. It's been a fist full of years or so, so it's hard to remember exactly. He was running a huge load of Xylene packed freakin jet fuel in that car.

I still don't think he ever actually made that power. The dyno chart looked like it was drawn using the basic Paint program that comes with any computer. On a claim like that. I would want to see a video of the run while turning to the dyno chart on the computer directly after it was made. Maybe he did and some of you can attest. Anyone? anyone there while it dynoed that number?

With the dyno used, you can make it output just about any hp, by manipulating the correction factor inputs and the way the dyno loads the wheels.

The guy did the 602rwhp his powerband was like 1000rpms from 6k to 7k, but below that by 3k he only had like 150rwhp, that explains his 16.9sec @ 1/4 mile
