well sorry the world evolves around you. you know good and well owning a business there are loses all the time. they aren't going to care what happens to you if its going to cause them more pain. thats what i would do if i was a company owner as well. that phone line sot a few thousand a month. they have other lines you can call. so if i was a buisness owner, i would have done that too. any debt they can get rid of the better. if you were shutting down being and owner, im sure you want to make sure you aren't way under and paying it off forever. so on that note, tough break. your stil rolling in money from everything else and it will all even out so no worries. think of things this way.

your complaining about a little bit of money you may have lost due to a few cancellations. im sure the owner of comptech is complaining about alot of money he lost by a few peoples mistakes. so its the same thing for he both of you. atleast you know now to keep a close eye on employees right?

From what Tai told us Comptech had also cut the distributor siscounts significantly. Thus, making it much less attractive to sell their products...

I'm with Tai on this one. Comptech f'd their distributors...

You mean "revolves"?

Anyway, thats not what I am saying at all. Just trying to add a dash of reality here as to why *everyone* wasnt selling comptech.

Actually, unfortunately I dont roll in money. My take home is about enough to pay a cable bill, my utilities and my mortgage... Every other penny goes back into the business.

Not complaining really, again, I was just adding some reality from the retail side to this thread.

They were great about reopening an account and I have higher expectations for them this time around.

So far so good.

The only thing from my knowledge that the ACTUAL company "HONDA" has helped is Doug from Hondata. No one else has cracked the encrypted bianary code on a company level. I have a friend who him and I are attempting to crack the ecu by working backwards, were Dumping and taking that info and trying to figure out how to then reflash the info back into the ecu.

Anyone who has the SUPERCHARGER reflash from Hondata already has ideal cam angles (locked at 50 and then taping off at redline) for stock cams. If you use a 06+ TSX intake cam and a small honda exhaust camshaft, you could gain a little power.

Waiting for hondata to release a second reflash is unnessesary because all they are going to be doing is altering fuel and ignition anyways. (more boost, more retarded ignition. Get an FIC and use the reflash, and that is stage 2.

I am a little anti-Doug, he isnt a devoted Honda lover like the rest of us. He is a straight up business man. If he could figure out how to protect his new tuner product for our cars, he would have it out right now.


and it isnt the MAF, my friend using the new "I J K L M NO-Pro" ran his car with no MAF for a week or 2 and came to the conclusion the car runs better with it on. Its more so CAN isnt ISO, and its using a generic language that if doug released a scanner link tuner, you could hook up any CAN GM/Toyota... scantool and figure out how to reflash using that. Everyone needs to just move on and forget about Hondata, If they come out with something it will be the best hands down, he had Honda's help, and its 100% a stock ecu. Until then if everyone suddenly loses interest and uses other products Hondata will have to do something to keep people interested in there company.

thats my best advice.

hes right about that.


But to tell you the truth, im not in a hurry, so ill wait.

even though i know I can get a piggyback like aem fic and smaller pulley and put it in the car, I rather not, cause ive been boosted with another piggyback before with a different setup and the car isnt the same.
Im sure complex loves the power that hes getting, but is hating the drivablity.

ok. i hope you are right. It makes a lot of sense tho what you are saying. so using a 06+tsx intake cam and a ________exhaust cam + the aem f/ic controller and smaller pulley are all we can do. I dont think i want to get much more power out of my car but its nice to know that there is a way now. what exhaust cam would you suggest.
