First off, I like to be honest with people. I am a 60 Degree V6 GM enthusiast who has had a lot of free time over the past 6 years. I learned to tune OBD1 in 2001 and started porting in 99. I have learned a heck of a lot and have invested at least 50% of my my income over those years to research and parts. I think my car got most of the rest (which is why its now missing a motor and trans and has some rust and the paint is screwed). Go figure.
The 60DegreeV6.com Store is not so much a company as it is an outlet for multiple companies and individuals. I will admit that the software setup looks very basic, but I am not good with web design and my programming skills aren't too good (I went to school for programming and networking.) What it lacks in aesthetics, I think it makes up for with unique and quality parts.
My contribution to the store that would be of interest to the people on this site are my ported manifolds and heads. After I learned how to tune, I got a lot more involved in engine theory and design. Intake manifold design, independent TB design, air/fuel mixture/delivery, piston and combustion chamber design, valve shape, intake port design, taper, velocity, flow, boundary layers, exhaust manifolds/headers, and header design for powerband and application. Im pretty much dedicated to the 60V6s.
Flow is not everything. I knew this when I bought my flowbench in 2002. I knew this when I didn't put it together until 2004, but I was called a hack for not using one so I set it up. I have to thank that guy for pushing me to do it, as I have learned a lot from it. Flow still isn't everything. I don't want to get into head theory/design in my "all about the 60V6 store" thread but suffice to say I think I offer an excellent product based on more than all out flow. I will have a chance to prove my worth soon enough and I am sure a lot of you would rather see results. Me too.
For the non 60V6 owners, I am going to try and get some suspension parts made.
