That's because you have no idea who you're talking about.
He is a racer, and has won the Division Seven NHRA Super Stock points championship three times and runner-upped twice, has held multiple NHRA national class records in both Stock and Super Stock, and has his transmissions in at least twenty NHRA west coast Stock and Super Stock race cars, probably more. When Ford debuted the supercharged Mustangs a couple of years ago at the Winternationals, they called HIM for his transmissions... not wanting to chance a factory unit.
His transmission business is a successful one-man operation and includes Torqueflites, Turbo hydros and C-4/C-6 racing automatics. He's no one-trick pony.
In short, he does it all, and the fact that you don't know about him is probably due to the fact that you live clear across the country from him. If you did your racing on the west coast, you'd have seen his "Schneider Performance" decals on the fenders of top runners at all the west coast NHRA meets.
He is very well-known on the coast, and a respected builder of transmissions and converters that are in some of the fastest race cars that are campaigned in NHRA competition. Dan Fletcher won an NHRA World Championshhip in Comp Eliminator driving an Altered for west coast racer Rick Braun a couple of years ago that had one of his converters in it all year... and, the list goes on.
Had his own operation for over thirty years.
Yeah, he's inexperienced, has NO IDEA what he's doing and is a real idiot...
What are YOUR credentials???
And don't put words in my mouth. I never said the reason the factory started putting 904's in 360s was because they blew themselves up; that Was YOUR inference... (look it up.) But, they do self-destruct.
I also never said that "a slant needs a 904, cause that 727 is just gonna blow itself up?" Never said anything LIKE that...
I can't imagine a scenario in which a slant 6 would EVER need a 727. Can you?
Tell me... :happy1:
