yeah, The guy was on a couple other forums talking about his builds. I think it's the real deal. They seemed to make some impressive numbers with their parts. I wouldn't be scared to use them.

There are some members on this forum who offer upgraded parts and stuff also. So there are choices. Make sure you check out the hall of shame thread to see some of the IDI vendors to stay away from.

Ya I've been following the form for a while now but thanks for the info

i got my head studs from them. great guy to do business with.

 

[redneckmills]

Ya he's got the cheapest head studs I've found yet

What I'm interested in is his camshaft he claims that it bleeds of a little compression in order to be able to run up to 34 pounds of boost

 

[justinray]

It's not a bad cam. There are 2 cams available, 3 if you include the stock. R and D's cam is for raising boost numbers, and a little more high end. Then Typ4's Cam brings your power down low, if I remember correct, it was the cam loggers were using for these engines in the 80's.

Hey, you live in deerpark! Finally someone close.

There were a few threads about this just a month or so ago. I have been talking with him about putting together an engine with all his stuff and the biggest pump he offers. I will be starting it once the weather gets better.

My experience with the 206 cam (typ4) has been a very broad, usable power band. It starts earlier than stock and keeps going as high in the RPM band that I wanna go. If you use your truck as a truck (hauling/pulling) and not as a pseudo-hotrod....... the typ4 cam is the cat's a$$.

Keep us updated no your engine build and what are you estimating hp and tq number

 

[hesutton]

Just a question?

Has anyone other than the guy(s) selling these parts have any real feedback or long term results? Not trying to throw a **** in the R&D punch bowl, but I think that's important to know.

Me personally....... not interested............. bad mouthing Mel (in the past and present) and his work/products without ever using them or likely ever seeing them, and certainly having never met/known Mel is hard to swallow.

Parts reputation works hand in hand. Many know from practical experiance that both Mel and Russ sell products that work... They work soo well some wont even look in the other areas for an inprovement. I believe thats because of being satisfied with what they get and the standup charecter of Russ and Mel. I have never seen nor read anything negative about there workmanship or their warranty.

Absolutely 100% correct Gary. The character of a man speaks volumes......... or the lack there of.

IMHO r and d idi PERFORMANCE is the way to go if your looking for PERFORMANCE. While Russ and mel may sell a good product, the PERFORMANCE aspect is still lacking. Sure, everyone wonders how long those pumps will last, but as of now I haven't read any problems. Please correct me if I've missed something. When/if moose ever comes out with a performance pump (a real pump, not a super moose that has never been ran) then would the mindset be the same? Wondering about longevity? Or does the man behind it automatically make the pump last? Just throwing it out there...I say go for it ,if performance is what you seek. Jm2cw
