Somebody at a repair facility actually said this? That shop should be shut down.

I wonder how the exhaust valves on race cars with open headers close.....

Maybe that is the trick in Pro Stock, never let the exhaust valve close...

Stupid people really piss me off.

I did the valve delete a few months back and picked up 8 tenths in the quarter... and shaved another pound worth off the front of the car where it matters. I get better mpg also without any valves..

That makes sense, less weight in the valve train. I wonder why I never thought of that.....

I'm just going to go ahead and do the engine delete. I can't think of a quicker way to get rid of 500 pounds.

I'm just gonna opp for a sex change, not sure what that will do for my car, but deleting my junk just seems like the right way to go.

Sounds pretty stupid to me. Why wouldn't the car move without the engine? Somebody is feeding you a bunch of shit.
