Everyone should be able to feel safe to post any newb question they want, or anything in general really, without fear of

Not that we don't have our debates, but this board is a community.
There are no strangers here, just friends we haven't met yet.

Whether it's something you want to hear or not, it's a tech board, and everyone voices their opinions. IF for ANY reason a difference of opinions gets out of hand, the thread will be locked or removed. Obviously Glen felt that it was getting out of hand so he did what any of us moderators would have done.

Oh yeah, and IF you back talk and bad mouth a mod, you should expect consequences

I agree with FFC , but the same rules should apply to a moderator as it does for the rest of us. If 79coyotefrog is going to lock a thread he shouldn't be able to go back and edit everyone elses posts to make him look good. He also shouldn't go back and post to a thread after he locked it.

That thread WAS a good tech discussion. If you'll read it Glen was the one to get all butthurt and started talking smack about my rig , I simply called his bluff on it and my post got edited and the thread got locked then he went back and fixed it so that it looked like he had the upper hand. I said nothing worse about his junk than he said about mine. Don't dish it out if you can't take it yourself.

I don't really care, I'm a big boy I can handle someone disagreeing with my opinion. I love this board, it's a great source of information and I'll post up if I'm having trouble with something, but I WANT to hear everyones opinion. Just because someone with 10,000 post answers your question that don't mean that it's the gospel and noone else should post their opinion. It seems to me that this board is starting to get like PBB in the fact that there are certain "clicks" and if you disagree with someone who's in the "click" you get shunned. That's how you learn new stuff, listening to people who think differently.

Anywho, I'm not mad at anyone I just thought I would voice my opinion on this matter. Maybe it won't get edited and locked.

Agreeing to disagree sometimes is the best thing to do. I'll stand behind Glen's decision. It seems to me he may decide to unlock it after a cooling period, but there was alot of button pushing going on from both viewpoints.

Obviously, feelings were hurt or in Glens case feeling as I think he only has one.

Now be good and go talk tech.

Like i said before I have no problems with ANYONE on this site.....I also relized me runnin my mouth could get me banned....But i'm cool with that...I would like the thread to be opened back up...I will be a good boy

...4inchtoyotas was gonna try to get to a dyno..I would and am sure others would love to see the #'s it made....To tell you the truth i hope I am wrong because It would be a great and easy power upgrade if it put out big #'sthat was claimed....Sorry if I offended anyone I will save the ripping of other for pirate

not now or have i ever "talked smack" about your rig or anyone elses

i answered hotrod's question about a 20R head on a early 22R block, a mod i and many others have done and you came along telling all that i didnt know crap and was blowing smoke up their

Where do you come up with all this nonsense?

You are NOT going to gain 30hp by putting a stock 20r head on a stock 22r block. A 30hp gain on a 22r is huge. Also to get 200hp from a 22r will require a LOT more than the few simple mods you mentioned. Apparently you've never been around a 200hp 4cyl. I've helped a buddy who races a 4cyl circle track car for years. It's not easy to get that kind of power out of any 4cyl without some type of forced induction. Also a 200hp 4cyl runs so eratic at lower rpms that it would not be practical in a trail rig.

For most practical purposes a 20r heap swap is not worth the trouble. Don't believe all the hype.
