Man... wtf
i feel the same way... experiance is everything and it takes years of it to be good... but being around along time dont mean **** if you dont learn from your mistakes and others mistakes as well...

thats very true, and I am sure that Shiv has had his share of Blown motors too...subaru or EVO. And I am sure he has learned from that, just as Bill has.

But hell if someone feels comfortable with a certain person to tune thier car....great for them. They are the ones spending thier money...they can go to whomever the want.

Dan, It sounds to me that you have a personal hatred for Chris!!! Not "I-speed" as a whole. You guys should address it and leave it...be done with it.

I do hate Chris, but that fact aside, look at the other stories from other people just in this thread. The past doesn't lie, Freddy. Just cuz you're butt-buddies with Chris and Bill doesn't mean we all are.

I don't have a personal thing for i-speed, however, I do have a personal problem with Chris.

And yes, butt-buddies.

How many engines blown by a tuner isnt really indicative to the whole story. Remember these tuners create street tunes and tunes for race applications. Its not fair to blame a tuner who creates a race map for a car and something goes wrong. My .02 -Todd-
