It is a curious thing...almost every thread on the car forums refer to this guy as MeatHead. The only sources that list his real name are the "news".

What other hobbies do you have ? Gaining weight, growing hairs in my ears, and the following......

That does look nice and yes, I have looked at aftermarket covers. If one came without a timing tab I'd have to establish TDC and then weld a tab in place. The cover from Andy has more features than I'd need.

Thank you. I can't justify $470 for a timing cover and cam button. The features of the precise cam timing adjustability by way of the removeable cover are probably really good for people that need it. I don't think that I would use the special features to make the cost worth it to me.

Those are SRT 10 replicas, I've had these since 2012.

There is a shop here in town that does dyno pulls on late model Hellcat type stuff, they have had vehicles on site over 1000 HP according to one operator I spoke with at our last car show. They use some manner of hub mount, avoiding the potential slippage of the tires on the roller. From what I...

I have never been in that corporate type of environment but I have heard many of the terms they use. To me, so much of that **** is just replacement words to soften the blow of bad news. Screw all that. I hate the "African American" name since not one black person I've ever met set one foot in...
