Ed would be the first person to say, "wow, you've got a really great tune on here. You should be very happy with it" if that were the case.
My impression of him is that he is very, very straight-forward and very honest. I would not worry about this guy fudging the facts to trick people into tunes... it's not his style.
And yes, I would be shocked if Ed poked his head in here. You guys don't deserve the recognition a response from him would imply.
He gave you what you wanted in the old thread.
There's no sense in beating a dead horse. ...well, besides certain sickos doing it because they find it fun...
...on a side note, I'm mystified as to why certain people haven't been banned/time-out'd and why certain threads haven't been canned.

Its Either Ali G vs Ed Vaus or Dre Vs Ed Vaus
or it can be Ali G & Dre Vs Ed Vaus but that wouldn't be fair....maybe if Ed Vaus had Nathaniel Brian Fogarty Williams on his side he might do a little better but Nathans ethuging isn't too strong.

Since you came over here to defend your point of view, am I now free to enter your post in the BAIC and express mine?

Making unfounded comments that suggest somebody forged information is horrible. It's libel and defamation of character. Unless you can back it up, you have no right to say things like that.

Everyone makes mistakes. Even a large tuning company. You tune 300 cars and you're going to have 2 that aren't perfect. It's no big deal. It would be stupid to deny that likelyhood exists because of stubborness or simply because you have a tune from the same place and if it's on your car it must be the best thing in the world. It's incredibly immature to suggest that somebody doctored information because it makes a company that you support look a little less inimitable.
I guess I now see where this stuff is coming from. There's obviously nothing I would be able to say that could change you minds, as your opinions are not based on anything tangible. I'm not going to try.
I'll make sure to post my dyno and A/F graph though as soon as I hit up Gruppe-S and get it done. All I know is what I've seen first hand... and it all speaks very, very highly of Ed as a person and as a tuner.

Post a picture of your partial throttle map and we'll see if SS even touched it. And please don't get me wrong, it wouldn't be a bad thing if they didn't. I have never heard of a tuner modifying that stuff until Ed did it to my car...

The title of this thread makes it pretty clear that the point of it is to do exactly what we're doing. If you feel I'm out of line posting my opinion in this thread, say so and I will gladly remit.

If I really wanted to post over there I would have, but I do not see a reason to "crap in someone else's yard" if you will. If I frequented the BAIC forum I am sure I would have posted there but I don't so I didn't.
