I don't know guys...maybe it's just me,but it seems Boo was just asking a question,and maybe made a poor choice in word selection to express his thoughts.I don't see where he purposely "dissed" anyone, and yes, we all are capable of jumping the gun by asking questions without attempting a reasonable amount of research on our own first.One thing I have learned from my own mistakes is that it doesnt take much to cause hard feelings amongst family,friends,etc. with a few misplaced keystrokes.
As for Boo's question, I think plenty of real good advice was given.My '69 C-20 runs good with the stock 292, but when I'm ready to rebuild I'm sure i will want to hop it up some.Some folks are happy with a mild performance upgrade while others have to build an "over the top" MAX everything in their rides.Personally, I 've just been learning all I can so when I'm actually ready to DO the rebuild, I hope to do it right the first time.And yeah, I will read Leo's book to add to the wealth of info found on the BB.That's my "two cents".
God Bless,
