I would, in my opinion, use things like he used the "wrong stuff", or, the specs
were not within spec.
The Line's did some work for me in the recent past; nothing but professionalism
in their work(well within spec) and customer relations!!

Agree, completely inappropriate to throw shade on Jason’s accomplishments. Meanwhile we complete along side the matty box crowd which I think got off lucky.

Scott,your take on why Jason got a time out is totally wrong, and should be taken down.

The story at the time was piston offset was wrong. Pistons were on the rods backwards to reduce friction.

Remember, that was before the innernets so it was good old "urban legend" stuff.

But anything the Line family touches seems to be a rocket.

Back in the day, nobody I knew took Buick seriously, mainly because they were really uncommon with everybody doing Chevrolet, Mopar, and Ford. In the late 60s/early 70s there was only a single Stage 1 in a 50 mile radius. It was owned by a guy a lot older than the rest of us who never raced, so we were clueless about how they ran.

In the really early days when people started apprecating musclecars again (late 1980s) I became aware of what a stock Buick was capable of.

I owned both an LS6 and a Stage 1, each was completely original and stock with about 40K miles. The Buick could give the LS6 everything it could handle on the street.

Not taking anything away from Jason, as I have the highest respect for the work he and his family turns out. But the package he started working on was a lot better than most people imagine.
