Yep, he's a super smart guy that's more than willing to discuss your whole ocmbo......I've bought countless camshafts and cylinder heads from him and EVERTHING has run exactly as predicted......

Yes he is a great guy and definitely knows his stuff. He used to post on here more often but there was a bit of drama on here a few years back and he hasn't really been all that active since.

I'm sure with some of the know-it-alls that come on here,he was justified to just say "the he** with it!" And that's really too bad!

Great guy, helped me out a ton. His dyno tuning is second to none. And his cam choice runs pretty good in my car

Yep, that's exactly it.......I've asked him about it and that was his response..... It's a shame......

If it wasn't for him being on here, I never would have used him and it stinks that others are missing out.......

He's the pimp....he did the cam and, I think, the heads for Chip's 3,800LB, pump gas, naturally aspirated, 572, '70 Cuda that's run 9.40's (maybe even 9.30's by now )

Yep, Dwayne spec'd my cam. It's been 9.50s at 140+ mph, but hoping to improve on that very shortly.
He also did the heads and cam for my wedge motor that will be on the track hopefully before the end of the year.
