Has anyone heard of David Vizard

maass · 07-12-2007, 12:57 PM

I'm building a chevy 406 engine with a flat tappit cam, and I read in Stock Car Racing magazine that this David Vizard highly recommended something called Oil Extreme as
almost essential to use as a break-in lube. My question is does anyone know the background of David Vizard.

I don't want to use something I never heard of before unless this Vizard knows what he's talking about. Any help would be appreciated. I joined this forum because I knew hot rodders could help me. Bill

He wrote articles for Popular Hot Rodding years ago.His engine builds were always kind of expensive. He pushes the "envelope" so to speak.

David Vizard has written technical articles for several magazines and does research for many high-tech companies including GM and other auto companies. He is known for his very thurow research and redundent A B A testing. David is somewhat of an airflow wizard and probably has as many dyno runs for comparative purposes as anyone in the World.

The oil he's pushing now must have been pretty good, as he bought into the company. How it compares to the latest rage - Joe Gibbs oil - I don't know as I haven't used either.

I've met and talked with David and he has lots of stories and is quite a character. If you're thinking about doing something, he's probably already tried it.
