Default Number chaser

Wow, so many of you know him and think he might be a number chaser to sell engines. You spend time to write about this. I think the results over time are a major statement. I hope all who say they spend time with him and his results are inflated discuss this with him in person and not just blast it in the forum.

I totally disagree.

Tom also baselines every engine from the bottom of the line to the top and I think he has built many engines that "sh*t will break dynos" Many in many years of the records are right. So? If his engines do not make the mark prove it and if others beat his records be factual....

Neither, life is to short for panty wads....great when I was 20ish.... having a great days now. But I do not support this type of one sided statements I have seen many things. Including many of his dynos which are point in time. THe members here who say they know him and watched many dynos know this so .... either they should tell Tom his is blowing smoke up his buyers as* or they explain the proven numbers by others he produces which TOm was not measuring.

Inside sources have informed me of his inflated numbers. Doesn't really make sense to do this, no one has been able to control over 1500 on the street anyway. Jeff Schwartz' Ultima made over 820 at the tires and he can barely keep tires on the car.
What was his correction factor you saw ?

I don't see where anyone in this thread is blasting Tom or saying he is blowing smoke up anyones ass.. (people have a right to voice their opinion from what they see in a video though) And I also can't find where anyone in here stated that Tom ever did or does inflate his #'s.. YES I said "Inflated #'s sell engs" and that was just a statement in general because it's true.

And yea, I have known Tom since before he bought Bill Hyatts machines and opened his own place. He must be doing something rt because he is moving into a 30,000 sq ft building! One thing I do bash Tom about is answering his damn phone more, and I've done this to his face.. It's all good Dude!!


HEY RON, DO YOU REMEMBER BILL HYATT (that's a name from the past)May he RIP... and how about COLE BOATS??

Didn't know Bill, but I liked Jim Cole. Had a good friend that worked there and that's how I got to know him. Man that dude cracked me up! He thought everyone's boat was a POS except his. Toward the end there was rumor - I have no idea if it was true - that his two newest model molds were warped. A few owners were screaming! For sure they were about 1000lbs heavier than advertised and SLOW! Last I saw him was at the LA boat show after he got shot. He had a sling on his arm and was walking real slow.

I wish he was still in business. The boat industry needs characters like him...

Now that's funny Ron. Sounds like how alot guys think about their cars compared to others. Not speaking of anyone on this forum. I'm talking about how when we go to car shows and some random guy walks up to you while you are looking at a car and he begans to critique and pick the car apart about how he would have not did this and would have did that. I know everyone has met that guy before...right?
