1/4 mile numbers will show how fast a car is, like 0-60 will also show this. 60ft tells a story, 1/8 tells a story, and 1/4 tells a story. I can't beleive I am actually explaining this. Dynos show us peak power, as well as power delivery and power band. This all tells a story on paper of how a car should perform and is very useful information since human expereince is so subjectable. Two people in the same car will tell you a completely different story where two times slips dyno data and 0-60's will not.

I remember your story about Mike not being able to tune your car, and you like this guy gave 0 to no supporting data so I don't know why that makes it so hard to understand when people question you.
I agree that 1/4 mile tels a story, as does everything else. I disagree that it describes driveability. A 1000hp Supra can have an awesome 1/4 mile time, but the lag on it will be so horrid for daily driving it wouldn't be funny. I know what dyno charts show, and I know how to read it and look at a powerband.

However, everything that this guy stated is completely OPINION. He likes the driveability of the car, so dynos, 1/4 miles, 0-60 can't prove him wrong. Like you said, two different people will have 2 different stories, then again, 2 different dynos will give 2 different stories, and then again, 2 different drivers will give 2 different 1/4 mile times.

Having boost come in at different times may show a less progressive powerband, but many people love it. It may not be ideal at a track, but once again, we're not talking about that. All we're talking about is driveability.


If you remember my statements prior to this thread of Mike tuning my car, you should remember:

- how do I prove he deemed my car untuneable w/o Mike coming out and giving his own statement?

- how do I prove he cut my boost to .5 bar to keep my car from knocking? Even if Shiv who took the line which was limiting my boost out or Mike who put it in came out and agreed, there's no paperwork, it's all from word of mouth which you seem to have a hard time believing.

- how do I prove Shiv tuned my car in 1 hour? He doesn't have reciept printouts, and I would have thrown it away within a few months anyway.

- how do I prove the huge hiccips in my afr if I never got a baserun printout from Shiv?

You should spend the money you got back from Mike on ENGLISH classes, not on another tune.
And is there a reason why your myspace has the name "Alex" but you post "-Martin" after every post you make?

I think more than anyhting shiv is an egomaniac, wants to fully tune XXX car, once he does it, he moves on and forgets about his past customers
He didn't neglect my friend last weekend... His evo was tuned by Shiv a LONG time ago and he had a question about the tune recently. Shiv was able to meet up with him last week to go over the car and double check things to make sure it was running right, didn't charge him either.
