Anyways, the point is Ryan posted a thread wondering why his red turbo wasn't pulling as hard as it should. He basically blamed the turbo, and then later mentioned:
"I switched the valves in my head to SS valves without getting a new valve job done on the head. Do you think this could be part of the problem? "
GEE I WONDER IF THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT
Anyways, this is very BASIC knowledge that you don't just swap valves without getting a valve job, it was very frightening to hear that a VENDOR that advertised head work, fell short on his education. Not to mention he was blaming the FP turbo, for such a novice mistake.
Pretty lame IMO. If it was just a DSM enthusiast, that would be one thing, but at the time that this happened, RnR was advertising head work on their site.
See for yourself in the thread:

Just like Ryan would sell a head. Either my simple vocabulary was to extensive for you, or you're borderline illeterate. I used Walmart as a metaphor to make a point. Get a boyfriend or sumthin dude, instead of signing up on this forum just to add remarks to one post.

I didn't care to join to post till I saw u4ia comment on the incident and YOU fail to "see his point".
Look I don't have anything against Ryan or you, I don't know either of you. But that whole RnR just throwing in valves thing and not considering it part of the power problem is just hard to forget.
You don't see something wrong with a shop making such a novice move on one of their own cars and not considering it part of the problem right off the bat?
I understand Ryan was doing this in a hurry to make a race, and I don't think he would do this to a customers head. Still, it throws up a red flag on their experience level as a shop.
BTW I already have a GIRLfriend DUDE, ask anyone on NABR just how ugly she is too

I didn't mean the Walmart reply literally, it's just Walmart and TVs has nothing to do with what happened with the head. Like mentioned earlier, it's more of a common sense issue.
