Update E-F/SA Bird Build...

[HandOverFist]

There has to be some validity to the thinner oil weights overall. Nascar engine builders put way more time and effort into research and actual use of products as well as methods than most ever will. I believe in real world results and won't discount anything without concrete evidence contrary.

Rich,
When you have some time to read, give this a look see. It completely changed my thinking on the subject.

But given your progress on that Mustang I doubt you have ANY reading time. Nice work.

I'm new to the site, so there are a LOT of things I don't understand about it yet. So if this seems to be another dummy question, ya'll will just have to forgive me, OK ?

I understand that there are far more Chevy racers than probably all others combined. But I just noticed that the BB Camaro build, with only 20 posts and just over 4,000 views has got a 5 star rating. But this thread, which has over 200 posts and nearly 46,000 views, don't even have a 1 star rating.

Is it because the car is a Pontiac, instead of a Chevy ? Or maybe because it's a budget build ? I think this is a GREAT thread and definitely deserves 5 stars, if any do.

Hey, ya'll, don't hate me cause I love Pontiacs, OK ?

Ratings are based on individuals making the effor to rank a thread. Most of us don't pay any attention to the rankings. Any thread I read is important.

Brett's thread is very popular....I check it all the time. My own build is much the same as his...pecking away little by little. As far as the ratings (stars), most probably don't know that you can add rating 'stars' to a particular post topic (thread) just by clicking on the 'rating' tab in the upper right.

I just gave him 5 stars. -Al
