this was from a roll. 40-100. there is no reason for a car that dynoed at 60awhp less, on shivs dyno, which is supposed to be about 20awhp under S^2'ds dyno to walk away from the higher powered car. if johns car was running the way it should he would have had to miss a gear for me to even stay close to him.

John
well john told me nate said 10.2 a/f. we dont know what kind of boost hes running, cause the guages havent gotten to S^2'd yet. and having a baseline dyno run just 20hp under your "final product" tune is going soft, sorry.

the other person i heard that the tune was soft from will remain nameless at this point.

CORRECTION: baseline dyno: 199awhp, final dyno: 313awhp.

Like I said before just have it looked at. Every tuner stand behind their tune. They will take care if it. I'm sure. First you really don't know what's wrong exactly with it. I'm not a fan of any tuner just ask aaron. lol
I have my views about different tuners. That's why I don't sport the blocks.
I'm sure they'll have things squarded away. They're a good shop. they've taken car of me when i needed stuff.

Everyone shut the hell up.
Please.
This discussion is leading nowhere. We already know there's something going on with John's car, I've been talking to him for a week and a half about it.

There is also absolutely no question that we're going to fix the problem and make sure John is happy.

All of the numbers being tossed around and wild speculation are doing nothing but getting people all worked up over an issue that we're already working to resolve, and I'm asking, respectfully, that everyone back off John, let us do our work, and let everyone chill out a little bit.

Please.

If they plan on trolling car websites then they obviously know most every major tuner site and forum.

In the last month I’ve seen a half a dozen threads on this subject in SRIC and BAIC. Maybe this is a big part of what they want?

I can tell you right now that I'm seriously considering a trade-in on a Corolla right now.

yeah, they for sure want to scare us. but dont think they wont troll the site, like i said, we had it happen on a local mustang board. they found out where we were meeting at the time and followed us till someone did something illegal. hence sikmachs last speed contest ticket.

oh and heres the kicker: they printed up pages from the forum and used them in court. and go ahead and say they cant do that, renae said the judge read her posts out loud in court about "**** the poilce, they cant stop me" and all that bull****.

Ouch... I think if I went to court and they read that outloud I think the only thing you could do after that is sit down and take ur punishment, because you definately lost that case
