mis-information! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Not to bag on this site, but there are people on here that spread mis-information. I dont know if its on purpose, I highly doubt it, but its still there. Case in point, this thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...threadid=29227

They say, repeatedly, that vortec heads are as good as they get box stock, and arent desinged to do any better. This is horse ****. Thats like saying theres no reason to port AFR heads cause they are already some of the best out there and designed to be great from the box. I want to let them know this is wrong, but I dont want to sound annoying [especially with the vortec head topic, its been done] What do you guys think?

my friend told me last night that vortec heads cost $4000

i laughed a lot, and showed him that they were really cheap

Personally, I would let it go. Besides, they don't give you a prize if you win.

Everyone will believe what they want to no matter what you tell them. It's just the way stuff is. I found out a long time ago, to give out the info you have, then let everyone make their own decisions on what they want to do with it. I don't try to force my beliefs on anyone. If they ask a question, I give my opinion. Then what they do with it is their buisness. It doesn't really matter to me if they listen to me or not. After all it's their money and truck.

As usual you guys are right. I just dont like people getting the wrong info when the correct stuff is out there. It happened to me when I was starting in cars. Live and learn right?

This coming from the same guy that held a gun to my neck and said "you better buy that 1904 or youll regret it"

j/k

Mike the 1904 is still working good!
