Congrats to Joe and Hal!!! Also to Jeff W, assuming you were there helping them with the car. I've known them for over 25 years, back when we were bracket racing our daily driven cars. As others have noted, they don't go out wandering the pits as a social gathering. I was hanging out in a pit across from them a couple of years ago (I hadn't been to a divisional in years), and I swear the exchange we had (just catching up on things) was the most I saw them talk the entire time. These guys just work their butts off. One thing about them, I wouldn't be surprised if they run the car slowly at times just to mess with people like those complaining on this forum.

Regards,

Ed how many intake and head combos have you flowed for you car to get the best combination? Just wondering. Its hard to find a matched set without a lot of trial and error. Also I'm sure Hal will build you an identical engine to theirs than you can tech it to your hearts content and report your findings. Step up if your that positive. It won't be cheap. The last price I got from Joe was 17K and that was quite a few years ago.

Ed and Fred have a point. Teching will not prove whether the heads and intake are pure. Let fred and and ed provide a STOCK PURE set of heads and intake and then see what the camaro runs. That is the only test to run. What casting numbers on the heads and intake is Hal running? Running closed chamber heads suck for flowing in comparison to open chamber heads and I think I need to get rid of my Brodix, Dart and Edelbrock intakes and buy another 163 as they seem to flow much better than the new age stuff.

Otherwise I could care less how fast he goes. Just giving my opinion on how to validate their ET's

Your wrong on the intake, the 359 is much better than a 163 on the flow bench also depends on how many you flow and the core shift. I have seen 3 in a row one better than the last.
