Product review : engine building and tuning DVD

[Big Squeeze]

I hear ya brother, but getting input from ALL is the best way to build the next one bigger and better... You KNOW everyone has THEIR OWN WAY of doing things. What is proven is the most meaningful to me.

For a first time out and not having a writing crew or top of the line audio/video crew you did a fantastic job.   

Thanks, Steve......I had a TON of time in just getting the script where I wanted........took about 6 months working on it almost every day.......He knocked me for repeating some things, but I did that on purpose to help drive the point home on things I felt needed it.......

Yeah, I'm trying to listen to everyone and use that on the next one.......

I guess you didn't give him a new 5 speed or enough new sheetmetal to do 3 cars? E booger has always been harsh and practical nothing is "perfect" so I wouldn't worry much about his opinion. Besides your DVD gives us something much more usable than a magazine every could for tuning information. I think he recognized this and got ticked as he knows its a quality piece he just will not admit it..in writting.

 Wanna push some buttons? Do a DVD on disk brake swaps and suspension upgrades on Mopars and watch him SCREAM bloody murder!
 
 I buy most every Mopar Action they print and have an extensive collection of them so I am not bashing the magazine. But what Tony Defeo posted on Gear Jammers about magazines(Mopar Action) turning into nothing but a kiss ass session for the advertisers sounds true.

The criticism is NOT justified.

Wayne did a great job for all of us Mopar aficionados. And YES I did learn more from his dvd than from magazines over the years, magazines that become more and more a platform for advertising whereas the really informative and instructive articles keep getting quite rare these days ... well over the last few years.

So, where does "unburnt air and fuel" come from if it isn't exhaust? Anything coming down the intake would be "pre-burnt" air and fuel. If only "unburnt air and fuel" went back up it wouldn't affect the engine (would it?). I'd think it's the burnt stuff that gets reintroduced that would make the engine run poorly.

Any way, back to the video... I sent Wayne a PM with my review. I really learned a lot and I'm on my way to the garage to try to apply some of my new knowledge.
