Just wanted to throw out my personal experience over the years with Mr. Carson......... Chris has not only provided products for me that were great but he has also gone out of his way to help me with reeds, stuffers, head bolt studs, ect that were custom for me in order to help make what I wanted, work the way I wanted it to. He has sent me some prototype parts & he didn't want to even HINT about money till he knew they were what was needed & QC passed the test! Had a minor issue once & he made it right strait away! Beyond the performance parts over the years, he has also coached me through issues when I was a Newbie all the way till two days ago, again LOL. I am not trying to advocate the fact that if you call him he will make/have whatever crazy part you want but through the years I have found it easier to ask if it can be done, budgets in mind. Worst he ever could say was no.....not sure I've heard that yet.


CCMS & other old school vendors/people here are the reason I still luv this site as much as I did when I started almost 14yrs ago.....FK I'm getting old

Thank you!!! I have yet one more MAJOR X-flow build that I am near the point of putting together.....received 3 different, I would say "custom" packages from Chris for it and they were spot on, as usual! This one is a special piece & I have contemplated putting the build on this site to document it but I hate feeling like someone that is pretty much showing off.....I'm sure others may not see it like that but this is my impression when I post a cool ass motor on S & F. I also understand that sharing it with the world may help with people gaining more knowledge on that particular motor design they might be looking for but even more the reason I don't want to post pics, measurements, ect during the build is the F-ing "Keyboard Mafia" that constantly tries to correct you, say your mods are garbage, tell you it won't run, that you are a moron, and that they are the best motor builders on the PLANET!! It pisses me off & on several occasions that happened, I asked them how many of these particular motors they have built.....guess what the answer usually was!!!!? I remember one of the builds I was told the thing won't run for chit.....yet I spun that motor (mind you with an odd fire crank) to 8500+rpms. Just not worth the aggravation......it sucks that technology has made pussies into pimps

Let em suck eggs. Post the build. I can't even spell OMG but I love seeing extreme builds and the genius behind them. Gotta keep learning.

Let it rip brother. There's waaay too many fans of crossflows on here to even care about the haters. Love to see your work brother. It'd be good entertainment from a hospital bed for me!!!!

[mrichartz]

Yes definitely post it, nothing like seeing builds
And screw the trolls.

I have a serious case of covid. I have all the details in a thread titled "covid took a bite outta me" in hot topics/politics section.

Schramer, that's quite a few votes, plus one more here to put the motor build up. I love building my own winter projects and seeing how others do theirs.....to hell with the know it all asswipes!

I will seriously think about it....I'm not sure I will be putting it together this winter but if not, next winter for sure! I may just post several pics of all the parts, assembly, and details of some of the things I am trying to do with this motor. If leaving out the intake/exhaust port timing measurements and a few "experimental" details I may be able to keep the trolls at bay! If I throw it up here, I will prob build it and get it running before I start the thread, which will consume a good amount of time as I like talking to good peeps on here as much as being locked in the garage. Plus it will already be running so nobody sayin IT WONT WORK haha!
