GUDE PARTS

Skywalker

I've read alot of reviews on Gude. The results have always been the same.

Product = lives up to what they claim
Service = sucks balls
Mr Gude = asshole

gude sucks, you get what you pay for

i get what I pay for, apparently by the relatively hefty price tag... it looks like quality, and if they have a D16 engine running 11's I think theyve probably got an idea of what theyre doing..

i've spoken with bill gude on many occassions. you have to understand that he has to go through so much crap from those who don't know jack that call him day in, and day out. and if my daughter looked as good as his does, then i'd be a dick too!

I had a full Gude Head package, headwork, intake mani matchported to head, overbored TB, cams, ecu all on my 91 Integra LS, the car made 146whp and 124ft-lb torque, did not have bigger injectors or any fuel control back then, it shouldve mad emore power with more tuneablilty. That was good power back in 1996 and 1997 yo. One thing though he claims his cams are "profiled" for stock valve springs...BULLSHIT I ripped like 3 times 3 rocker arms out of of the head due to much lift, I swapped out the springs for DPR valve springs and retainers and lightened stock valves and it no longer had a problem. Car went 14.1 on street tires with ZEX 55 shot in 1998-99, should've been a good 13 second car on slicks, possibly high mid 14s all motor if it was tuned
I dont really feel his stuff is all that great though, there are much better products out now, billet cams no regrinds, better head poerters (Seth at Abacus Racin) Portflow, Alaniz, better Billet TB no more overbored sticking TBs, Hondata etc etc
