That’s because Rich, the builder/innovator, got really sick. I haven’t heard anything from them in years but their transmissions live on!! I’m pretty sure Vince Janis can build one to hold the power too, just never had to look for another one once I got the one from Hofer. If I had to guess, I would say that Rich probably passed away.
i know how tough it is,but this car is in a completely different environment with different goals and that requires not drawing the wrong attention but the right action
i have been heavily racing, not to mention building and tuning these cars for a long time and been on this board a while as well.i have been watching your progress and am happy for your success.im not out to steal your thunder as i have kept my stuff under the hat for years watching several guys start going into the 8 sec world with their 109s.you guys class race with rules, those are restrictions,i have none.imagine making a 1000+hp with no weight restrictions or tire restrictions or no restrictions on power adders or suspension.attaboy
you dont know what i have.you sound like the guy who wouldnt pay up after they found out.
thats how i feel about dave husek,he built mine and its still in the car.
dave husek builds mine and he is still around.
guys like that wont give a class on that,nor should they,they have had enough of their ideas stolen from them in the past just ask dave husek.
do you honestly expect me to jeopardize what goes on after dark to prove to you how fast my car is?even if i was willing to give you an idea truly believe you couldn't handle finding out other people have fast cars,i bet you would be quite the critic.
Very true, I don't know what you have, if you have anything at all. And you are correct that I wouldn't pay up after I found out because it doesn't mean anything to me. Don't get sensitive when people ask for proof on claims you make. Don't mistake passion for animosity, I am highly passionate about these cars so clearly I'm interested in any Buick that runs fast. Do a search, I have congratulated everyone and anyone that has run fast in a Buick and never get involved in verbal combat. No ego's here my friend....
wasnt about proof,john brought up an old thread and started a discussion about possible head deck problems on a iron headed car that makes power i have alot of experience in that area and decided to share what we have found.then guys jump on the thread and give their o2s and make comments when in fact they dont have anything to add to the conversation knowledge-wise with me and john.
very hard to gauge your passion when you and bart jump all over slic v6.
ohh this is real teck.you sound like your really happy for meMr Spool i guess you make a living racing after dark, your income must be staggering.
Enjoy your time in the sun.
I know in some of the threads I came across in the trans section had a bunch of info from hofer but he got jammed up and quit posting. I have talked to Mr Husek and Mr Ttype6 and both had excellent info they shared. I'm not a guru and don't claim to be but I've wagered in the early morning hrs on more than one occasion. Fun stuff to participate in.
I don't want to come off arrogant but I started this thread (go to page 1), and It actually is about proof, not proof on your deck height discussion because that is good tech, but proof that John isn't the only iron headed 109 block Buick running 8's as "YOU" claimed, that's why John left his number for you to call him to talk about it. I don't know why this strikes such a cord with you, but saying trust me, and if you only knew you wouldn't believe me or handle it is silly. The moment your questioned on anything "you" say you act as though you have immunity and no one has the right to ask you such things no matter how polite they are. You couldn't be in a more camouflaged environment to validate your success. There is over 10,000 members on here with the same car, heck, you don't use your real name on here anyways so that keeps you as anonymous as you want, and anyone that street races already knows timeslips mean nothing on a unprepped street, I made a ton of money back in the day that way, so your safe to share if you choose to.
Especially not with iron heads. I have personally ridden in a GN with a 109 and GN1 heads that is pretty much there. It was Chris Hogeland’s personal car, not a customer that went 5.28 at 133 and has since been 5.07 at 138. It is a street car and it is the fastest 109 ever. Unless someone is going to claim to have a faster one? If he were to want to run it at a 1/4 mile track that “should “ be a 7.97 at 171mph. Makes my car feel like a turd.
