Duttweiler built Mustang. Lawrance Conley's Tweaked record setting 7.86
in 1995 ,Lawrance Conley's TSE car that had the field covered by 4 tenths.
The first twin turbo BBC in Tweaked 2. The first 109 block in the 9's 1997
with iron heads no less. Numerous wins and records with Joe Lubrants car
which still has the original short block assembly from 1997. Many record
runs with Rich Kibler , they finially had him loaded with so much weight he
couldn't compete any longer. I don't have to claim how many engine I have
built, in the last 30 years (it's well over a thousand) and they were all assembled
with my two hands. But my work has won many circle track championships, several NHRA
victories and various records in other venues. I forgot to mention that we also ran 168.00 mph in 2001 in Jim Byrne's car with a 3 bolt turbo. Obviously Dave Bamford and Ted Achatz. just a few of the highlites of the last 14 years of V6 buicks. Alan Witter winning the NMCA
limited street championship against blown and nitrous V8's, here again they
loaded him up with weight because of the whiners. That's it I'm done here
you can go ahead and bash me all you want but my record speaks for itself.

I haven't gotten that impression at all. To be frank, I'd say the amount of PM's I've gotten are pretty evenly split on the quality of work between yourself, Anderson, and Duttweiler. I'd say you are selling yourself WAY short if you think this community views your work as anything BUT right there with the very best in the business. To a man, everyone I've spoken to has said in no uncertain terms...."Dan is the MAN when it comes to GN engines". I have yet to hear one negative comment about your work in any way shape or form, as a matter of fact, quite the opposite.
