Not Ranked
Brent,
I do not wish or intend harm to you or your company. If you think that is my intent, I apologize it certainly is not.
You are in no way responsible for the content of QTs web site or the claims they make.
For what its worth put a call into Ross McCombs today. It says his mailbox is full so I couldn’t leave a message. I will keep trying.
I have asked Mr. McCombs to produce the test reports or other data to back up his claim. I have not received or seen anything.
SFI states that it has not tested this configuration.
I think it’s important that all of us perform our own due-diligence when we are confronted with information like this.
To answer Rodknock’s question, I run a Lakewood that was trimmed by a previous owner. It’s big and heavy and ugly, but I have a history with them. I’ve had 4 different LW’s in my life. I’ve never heard of a failure to contain. (I’m sure they have failed, I just haven’t seen one. Has anyone else?)
I looked at the QT 8010,I liked it, smaller, lighter, generally cooler, had it on my list. Then I saw the video and began investigating.
This is not about who’s right or who is wrong. This is about truth in advertising of a safety item.
If you make a claim that you intake manifold makes the same power I could care less. When a claim of the same safety level, that’s very different issue. At least to me it is.
Bossofu thought he bought an SFI certified bellhousing. Why did he think that? Because the website says “Passed all SFI testing”
To clarify, SFI 6.1 says a 12” diameter, 17.6 pound flywheel(cast or steel) with ring gear shall be modified to explode into 6 pieces at between 9000 and 10000rpm. It shall contain all of the fragments and remain attached to the motorplate.
