I used to always watch his tutorials on utube but haven't seen him lately I wondered if he may be on here sharing.

Call him up. He'll hog out whatever you want. Or try Big Dog porting. They're probably on the same level 🤣

He can drop a 7s/8 socket in his ports on his sbf 5.0 intakes at Big Dog. Can you do that? Lmao.

But Tony has all kinds of NHRA racers using his 7s/8 socket intakes. :lol:
"Quality" is like buying oats. You can pay a fair price for it and get some good quality oats,
or you can get it a hell of a lot cheaper, when it's already been through the horse.

Check with Servedio Head development aka Carnut on here. I believe Headbytes may have mentored him.

Nothing to add since I last posted about him. He has my number, we spoke a few times. I would bet he is dead. Thanks, Charlie

As for the mentoring I am nearing 40 years of porting.

Hmmmm... I was going to post something in humor (well, at least I thought it was funny) about this guy, since I'd seen a few of his videos in the past. But if his life has seriously taken some difficult turns, I don't want to come across as beating a guy when he's already down. - Brad

It’s probably a pretty safe bet that any legal problems he may be experiencing are from his own doing.

I've seen a number of his videos. I thought they were okay. He has the "Hillbilly Machinist" thing going on. Makes some good points. Thought they were entertaining. Also saw some of his ex-customer's videos. Looks like he dropped the ball on a few of them.

OK... possibly (probably?) in bad taste... and I'll freely admit there are folks on here who do this stuff for a living that would look at my DIY porting and barf like a sick buffalo. But this is what I thought the first time I saw one of his videos, and the image has been stuck in my mind ever since.
