Ed is my favorite and has nothing to do with me being in my 60s, he knows his stuff

@@BarryTsGarage Don’t forget Alan I like him too lol

[@toralfcross3819]

I just turned 40 and I like to listen to their knowledge. People of all ages should be able to appreciate the voice of experience. Ed is giving away trade secrets and he doesn't have to share that so I appreciate it.

[@rksg2003]

Thank you gentleman

[@patrickm.8425]

I'm old enough to remember as a kid, talking to "old geezers" who told stories of riding wagon trains across the Great Plains and the West! I can remember my grandmother telling me how scared she and her mother were in the wagon train heading East from California, worrying about being attacked by Native Americans. "Old geezers" are precious connections to a forgotten past, many with incredible information and data you can't get anywhere else!! Talk with them, treat them well and kindly, and make connections with them every chance you get. Learn everything you can from them, because when they are gone, they are gone!! Thank you, Ed Smith, for sharing your great knowledge and stories with us, many of us greatly appreciate it! And thank you Barry T. for bringing Ed and this information to the World!

[@BarryTsGarage]

Wow - I really appreciate this and will also pass along to Ed 🙏🙏👍👍

[@billywird]

Every time I view one of these videos with Ed he points out things that I never knew or just plain forgot and got lost in all of the other mumbo jumbo associated with engines that really fog things up.

[@keithtobin5369]

as usual I have to say thanks a million the questions that are answered during these videos are the same ones I'd be asking keep up the great work God bless

[@BarryTsGarage]

So nice of you to give us feedback, I'm thankful for you.

Oh yeah!!! This was an awesome video. That engine sounded mean. Thank you guys.

[@BarryTsGarage]

So glad you liked it! It sounded very angry - my microphones overloaded LOL.

You can tell God built Ed for a life of speed, his hairline proves it... he has a ducktail spoiler going on lol I always enjoy listening to those who have been there and done that, timeless proven performance and durability from a lifetime of knowledge

[@stevenbean9706]

spec motors are also able to be bought back by chevy if you win with it ! they used to be super cheap to buy and that was one of the reasons instead of an alternator they should take some of those new wheel generators toyota just started using as long as the wheels are turning each wheel will make power.

[@BarryTsGarage]

Interesting idea I wonder if it’s within the rules?

[@stevenbean9706]

@@BarryTsGarage i havnt read anything as of yet saying they cant use them , one thing i was taught growing up its only illegal if they specifically tell you you cant do it and the rule book is only a book that tells you what you cant do not what you can do. its fairly new stuff i can see them gaining a bit of an advantage using them. they might want to look into it ive seen them generate some good power. havnt had any recalls on them as of yet so it seems to work. i say its worth a look we used to use toyota starters to make cheap gear reduction mini starters toyota engineers are great its the lean manufacturing i disagree with.

[@BarryTsGarage]

Great!

[@darylhudson777]

I would never refer to Ed Smith or Don Garlits or Kenny Duttweiler, etc as old geezers. I was taught to respect my elders by my WWII US Army Vet Dad and Uncle not to mention my grandparents born in the 1800's.

[@BarryTsGarage]

I agree! They’ve earned all the respect

That’s great, yeah, you can look up five star engines in Glendale, Arizona, and find what you need for sure!

Room is sketchy.

[@BarryTsGarage]

How so?

[@brianholcomb6499]

You need to go see how they dyno a race engine, or even a street strip engine! Watching a passenger car engine is kinda a waste! You need to see how the carb is tuned, how they adjust timing, how they check & adjust the valve train! Yes he got the rings & cam broken in, & made sure it’s running ok, but that’s about 1/4 the work that goes into a competition engine! Even the ones they are familiar with! There is tons of power to be had! Also a dyno reads torque, horsepower is just a calculation! Torque x rpm, divided by 5252 = horsepower!

[@BarryTsGarage]

I would love to do another video with a full on race engine, however, racers are kind of private and not normally that willing to show their stuff… Maybe I will get lucky with someone that is willing to show the world!!!
