Nothing wrong with the tools, but who, that actually is very fast at the race track, are using his stuff? A guy that has not done that kind of work may watch this guy's video and not realize he is blowing some smoke as well. Look at who the really fast guys at the major races are using if you are looking for a shop to do your work. You also don't have to pay for the work up front, when they already have your heads.

Like the Street Outlaws on TV had one on the chassis dyno the other night. They just added two degrees more timing and picked up 200 HP at the tires. I guess some guys maybe don't know any better than to believe that one as well.

Cheating ?
You must be new at this game to say something like this?
My car is legal so feel free to protest my car...anytime !
Put your money on the table.

Hope to have one of the Baddest Pure Stockers in the Nation.
Aiming to beat Mike Taylors awesome rocket and go so fast it will wipe your comments off this page.

Hint ! Averaged a lot of 13.30's 2015.
I know ... I may name my car the "Outlaw Street Stocker"!!
In bold bright letters !!

Have no problem taking abuse from those jealous of my fine Pure Stocker.
Have gotten grief from the best of the worst on the Soccer field.
So bring it on !

There is a predator out there that could have hurt you or someone else.
Would you have had the guts to bring up an issue like this?

Have a great Family Holiday Season.

Dan

Ed,
Rarely get ripped off but this was one of those times.
Lesson learned, heading back to tried and true sources.

BTW send me an email to danfahey@dansources.com
Have a racing issue to discuss with you.

I did not post to say this guy was doing top of the line work but only that in the right hands some fairly old school type equipment could produce good results and did for many people and for many years. If I am trying to be the fastest guy out there or run with the fastest guys I am not looking to send my stuff to some unknown nobody. That's a given in today's racing environment.

Dan--- for a little over $225 you can fly from Baltimore to Nashville--- instead of getting all worked up go visit him and maybe the proper authorities in Tennessee get your parts back and file charges all at the same time--FED 387

One of the others Racer also screwed by Sizemore on CR already drove by his place.
It appeared uninhabited.

Right now more important to focus on the next challenges.
Yes I am smarting from the experience.
But my family is so much more important.
Got a lot of good stuff to focus on.

Also have great respect for the drag racing community.
Especially their genius, history and the friends I have earned.

Time to drop this.
Did due diligence to warn the community loudly!
Hoping this time my experience and advocation sinks in.

Have a great holiday season.
Savor it.

Sorry you got took Dan,I will have to see if I can check out these videos over Christmas break. Only money I take on work up front is for parts,you have 10-15 jobs going on is hard tie up my money in all those parts and if happen to get stuck with a job easier to sell it for labor you are owed and most likely customer will pick it up,even doing that I have about 15Klabor (been waiting 3-4months),parts are paid, sitting here waiting for people to come and pick up,going to have to sell their stuff looks like,which I will call them and tell them,first person shows up with amount you owe will own your stuff.

I did a set of the iron heads probably 12 years ago,have to see if can find those numbers was street/strip car,I do remember they were better with stock size valves,customer brought list of what he wanted printed off a website,2.02/1.60 valves was what they wanted,it took quite a bit of bowl work to get them back to where they were stock,then fully ported them,later did a set off a ZZ4 crate engine which is basically aluminum version of the same head,left stock size valves and ported them they were a better set of heads like that,flowed somewhere around 230@ 25''s.
Any luck and my pure stock combo will be in the floor or with a new owner.

Yeah got taken..fool me once.
Lesson learned.

Wow was hoping to get an opportunity to race you heads up.
That would have been fun..!

That ZZ4 is popular engine.
Seems those heads respond very well with stock size valves.
LT1 Irons surprisingly do even better.

Have a great family and holiday season.
May SANTA drop off some fast parts.
