Uncle Tony makes bold claims and doesnt back any of it up .The people who defend him are worse than he is for supporting him passing off bad information as fact.

So you do build motors that Don't make sense from horsepower per dollar spent. Did that motor win any big races?Do I get hero of the year status if I post the details of a oval track build I did a decade ago? That made over 1 HP per cube, 421 horsepower if I remember correctly, with iron heads, a 1.92 intake valve, a two barrel holley and.....get THIS...a .420 lift hydraulic flat tappet?
typical short track hobby/stock class rules, that dont necessarily make since from a hp perspective witch happens alot in circle track!!! takes more than a engine to win, theres the hole car, team effort, and driver in play, and the rest of the field to contend with....DWBSo you do build motors that Don't make sense from horsepower per dollar spent.

I disagree with point 4, Vizard writes plenty of books explaining how he does things. Not like he's trying to hide knowledge, not AT ALL. As for porting 302 heads (or any heads), I have no illusions that I can pick up a grinder and match what any decent head porter can do. However, watching someone go through a set of heads and explaining what they're doing at least gives a starting point to anyone who's interested in learning how to port. Or is that supposed to be some secret reserved for some of the head porters who get so bent out of shape when other people post videos explaining how to do it? I'm not talking about UT, he is a hack... but DV is certainly no hack, and I kind of doubt AW is.Yeah, I can't help myself--good ole drama.
I fell for the '302 hype ONCE--They really remind me of the Ford 302 JUNK. Both are exceedingly bad at making meaningful power. Meaningful in this case is 350+HP. These characters know this which is why they have set the bar below that (350hp). Now if the plan keeps evolving with better parts, better fuel, etc... Don't be surprised when the numbers top 400hp and the general viewership forgets about all the moved goal posts along the way--If this plays out like I think it will-
-They are counting on people focusing on:
1. They've done the impossible with just a 318
2. They've done the impossible with "stock" 318 heads
3. They've done the impossible on a "budget"
4. Nobody but "this elite group of geniuses" could accomplish this great feat so you better keep Liking & Subscribing
Point 4 is easily the most important to them
That's why Tony isn't doing the build - he had to find someone who actually knows what they're doing to do the actual buildI think RAMM summed it up pretty well. I didn't watch Tony's videos, he's a hack, nothing more or less. His nut swingers think there is going to be some revelation, some secret that only Tony knows and is going to share with them that'll allow them to make big power with (a 318) junk parts at near zero costs. Here's the revelation, it's not going to happen! If it did a hack like Tony wouldn't be the one to do it.
Vizard is a sharp character and an even better self promoter.
If a guy was going to try to make decent power with a 318, throwing out the fact that junk yard 360's cost the same as junk yard 318's, wouldn't he be better served starting with a Magnum?
Take all of this for what it cost you.
Judging from his past failures it was probably a good move on his part.That's why Tony isn't doing the build - he had to find someone who actually knows what they're doing to do the actual build
its not that its a secret but if one were to actually grind up a set of heads, wouldnt they want a flow benc to see what their grinding was actually doing or if it actually is working? it is common knowledge that most guys screw a set of heads up grinding on them because they dont know what they are doing and the engine runs worse or drinks more gas. In short someone here could watch Vizard all they want without the flow bencha dn the same tools and equipment including the knowledge they wont acheive the same resutls. Vizard went to college to know whet he knows. yeah hes willing to pas some of it on why? it doesnt matter now these engines are 60 year old technology. Vizard graduated college 60 years ago...most here tear their engine down dick areound with a grinder and dremel then tell their brother in law "yeah it has some port work done..." its all bullshit...car runs like the same turd it always was...brother in law in the passenger seat saying "it isnt any faster than last time I was in it...LOL!I disagree with point 4, Vizard writes plenty of books explaining how he does things.

look up "Infamous 318 give away" on Lunar outlaws channel. Listen to the whole thing but the smoke show starts 7 minutes in....that engine was a fail. It was high school auto shop level mistakes across the board. No excuse for Tony there.Judging from his past failures it was probably a good move on his part.
that build been talked about a plenty!! one thing the magazine didnt tell, them 302 heads that flowed a magical 240 cracked up on the dyno and become water spickets... not knocking dulcich, he probably knew it was gonna happen!!Do you think Tony knows something Vizard and Dulcihch doesn't? Dulcich built a 400 HP 318 but no one ever talks about it .It wasn't low buck enough and neither will Vizards build be... anyone who listens to Tonya and believes him is a fool. Sorry that is fact. Tony has the back catalogue of failure to back that statement.
Dulcich has built 4 different 400 hp 318 combo's and one 425 hp 318, anytime people bring it up a bunch will say it's magazine nonsense that it's untrue.Do you think Tony knows something Vizard and Dulcich doesn't?

could you post links to the other 3, id love to read them!Dulcich has built 4 different 400 hp 318 combo's and one 425 hp 318, anytime people bring it up a bunch will say it's magazine nonsense that it's untrue.

Correct. Theory versus practice. Someone feeding and clothing themselves and having a few good classic cars beats the bum on the street corner reciting Shakespeare.Cant open the link? Is it in the N&P forum? Other than that I don’t know why your link doesn’t work.
Your knowledge verses money is a sad tale. Why not have both.
Stupid and poor is much more acceptable than being the smartest guy ever in the history of the world and being dirt poor.
