My friend did the simular. He bought his first valve grinder and left the automotive machine shop. And sold his 69 Z28 and started his own machine shop. Now has some very good equipment and a dyno.

I've noticed a trend with the top guys in their field not getting much views over the last couple of years. Blows me away

Kieth is an AWESOME MAN! He thinks "outside the box".....My friend is much like him, probably why his shop walls are covered in photos of the National Champions and World LSR holders in many different categories from Cars to Motorcycles.

You do t get Holley to take your intake design, put your name on it and sell it if you're mediocre or anything less than a consummate professional.

I’ve followed some of Keith’s bonneville engine builds , he’s a wizard . I wish I had the knowledge about engines he’s forgotten over the year let alone knows . Took an sb2 and deleted 2 cylinders to make a v6 to fit in a certain class .

In most scenarios, you need to know the entire engine combo to answer that question as it's a function of plenum size.

I am so pleased to see that there are men of faith in the higher ends of motorsport. All these folks need to hear the truth of Jesus.
