Keep on thinking like that Mike... just by looking at your dyno sheet I told you something was wrong with your tune...you didnt believe me until someone else came and sugar coated it for you, wich you did acknowledge he was right..and why would you bring other people from the forum to agree with you on you Post?? as you can see I have not...so why would you??...sorry to be to up-front about things, but one thing that I will always call people off on is when they think they are god's gift with out having small knowledge, just going on what other people tell them... I remember a few months back when everyone jumped on X's bandwagon intake, I stood there, by myself questioning him, really never got a straigh answer from him,me and him went back and forward. One of the persons that backed him up was you, I was always the hater according to you, but guess what..almost everything I SAID came true about his intake, or did it not? Ohh..before I forget , can you please explain to me how a tune can get rid of compressor surge? I am really intrigued....

There is NOTHING wrong with the tune.. It just isn't as smooth as it could be if I was able to adjust the cams. And if you look at ANYONES power curve with the GReddy kit they all look the same. We have limited adjustability. And how do you have compressor surge with a BOV that is venting just fine? And with the amount I'm getting and how infrequent that it happens I'm not too worried about it. And I don't think I'm gods gift and I never said I did. You should take a look in the mirror on that statement bro. And I've had alot of success with the X style intake. I made my own adjustments to it and now it is pretty decent. I never agreed with you on that and I still don't I don't really know what you are trying to do here bro. And I really don't know why you have such a hard on for breaking my balls constantly. I'm guessing this animosity towards me stems from the whole X-intake episode. But you know what. I'm done with you and your crap. And why are you over here ruining this thread now. I'm so sick of guys like you that have to jump in and crap all over peoples shit because you just know everything and you ran a 13.8 at the track. I could give 2 craps about you or what you think about my car bro. I'm extremely happy with my build and you are not going to ruin it. It's really amazing that you would actually go out of your way this much to be a dick. Get a life dude......and worry about your own not mine.....IU'm done posting any more info about my car EVER. It's just not worth it. I don't need this shit. this is supposed to be a place where we can share experiences not agrue and hate on people. I'm done.

1) you tested it against a car that had a STOCK intake, and made a conclusion that your x style intake made more power.

2)No, just one of the statements you gave about replacing the intake manifold in 15 mins, which in one of your post read like this:

Working at goodyear does not make you a Tech... last time I checked the only major thing done there are oil changes/ mounting and balancing tires...

O really guy. Dude, that was before I actually got to step back and look at what I had to do. And I was trying to follow a shitty DIY from this site. When I did it on my own I got it done in 15 minutes. If you donlt belive me why donlt you ask the 3-4 guys from this site whos cars I've extensively modified for them. I only had the car for about a month at at that point and I had never done any major work on a K-rseries motor. And I do alot more than that dick!!. I did all the major engine rebuilds for Cadillac at Olsen Cadillac in Woburn, MA. I was there for 12 years doing all the major rebuilds and reseals and whatever else needed to be done. And what do you do look up all my old posts and try and rip me apart. I'm sorry that I only work for Goodyear now. And what exactly is the difference where I work. Does that make me less of a tech because of where I work? You're a retard huh? And what excatly does this have to do with anything here? This is my point exactly. You have nothing better to do than follow someone around on the site and try to discredit him because he built a car that some members like? Why are you jelous or something? I've never seen anything like this in my ife. You are the most negative person I've ever talked to in my life. I post something that I was pretty excited about and you come in ripping it apart because of some argument we had a year ago? Just AMAZING!! And I have done ALL my own work on my car since day 1. The oly thing I didn't do was the tune. And I forgot that I had rectified the compressor surge problem. I had to tap my TB spacer and get a better vacuum source for thwe BOV. Now it has it's own source and it works mint.

I DID NOT TEST IT AGAINST A STOCK INTAKE!!! Jackass!!! It was a stock MAF housing cut out of the cover with the Apexi filter on it. And since you say that the X intake is a scam why would it matter anyway that I used a stock intake. I thought you said that the stock intake was better anyway. How would you even know anyway? Were you there? Do you have special powers or something? Where you can be somewhere and nobody knows you're there? You just keep proving more and more that you are nothing but a hater and just a complete douche bag that gets off on degrading people and showing how smart you are. And if you wanted me off this site then you got your wish. I don't need to put up with someone telling me that I'm a liar and that I'm supposedly not a tech because of where I work. You are not a very nice person and I am done. I never attacked you like that. You went way too far. You can't even have a normal conversation without insulting someone?

You should both just block each others posts and then you can both stay.

the link in my sig about 'block my posts' is just a generic link. you can just ut in the username of the person you want to ignore.

Well I kinda wish you would stay. No point in leaving just ignore people who piss you off. I am not taking sides on anything, or even reading what thats about, but just calm down dudes and relax. We are talking about the car we both own and love here!!! Keep the peace.

Can't we all just get a bong?

That was the first picture on my website...back when I cared about it.

If we go to Salem Willows thats fine by me. I'd like to follow someone there if possible. I've only been a few times. We could break into the powerplant and take pics there

Unlikely. We may have to wait. I am supposed to see the dark night with old co-workers in IMAX. Actually I think they already got me a ticket. It doesn't start till 10, so if my car is done and you wanna go early and be back by like 9 (or at least I would have to leave by like 8:30).


EEEEK. I doubt it is done anyway....remember this needed to be painted AND installed haha. Its a few day job I think.

If you want to go to Epping early I'd go for the ride if you need someone to go with though. I just don't wanna ruin anyone's fun by having to be home early haha.
