    Your right I am no tuner nor do I want anyone who runs e bay parts tuning my car .I simply think your numbers are inflated and find it hard to believe your making that kind of power "reliably" on e bay junk and stock parts .

    I'm probably coming across improperly but I looked at your links and only saw vids of a burn out on street tires ,a short two step , an aem wideband reading at idle and a 1980s song Post up a dyno vid or the dyno plot from the tune .I agree 100% with most tuners being horrible at part throttle I have been tuned by the supposed best yet at times seems like they have been the worst .I am anxious to see your plot and apologize if I have come off improperly .I just wanna see some solid proof although I still wouldn't think of running e bay parts on my build if I expect a quality car thats gonna hold up and be "reliable ".

    I have worked with dynos for ten years and can produce a dyno graph that reads any amount of power. Dyno graphs are far from proof. I like that song. U are coming across as improper. I accept ur appoligy. If you dont like my build or how i do things please refrain from filling my thread with ur opinions you said your 2 cents. Every person i have ever worked with has appreciated what i've done for them. Like i said i do it for free if you would like me to check your part throttle maps let me know i can smooth them out for you. Then make your opinion of my skills for others to review.

    If you buy a Rolex or a Timex they both still tell time.

    Certainly a Dyno can be manipulated and the best proof of power is at the track .I liked that song as well and probably have a few years on ya anyway .I didn't mean to knock your skills or your build in particular just don't like e bay knock off parts and would love to see a dyno vid or a pull at the track and a time slip .My car is not tuned yet with the new build but will very soon be. If I have problems I'll consider your looking at it and consider your input .If I buy a Rolex or a Timex hmmmmm to be honest I'd rather have the Timex for reliability sake .Buying the most expensive certainly doesn't mean its the best but I like tried true and tested components from solid well known companies that have been in the industry and work well .Ok i am off to the hardware store for a few bolts somehow I misplaced the bolts for the traction bar over the past year or so ...

    I have never ran my car at the track . Its really just my daily. I do have many v-box runs of the car going sub 6 second 60-130 times and 0-60 times right around 4.0 sec on 235 50 15 toyo r888s. Good luck with your build and If you ever want me to look at a tune just let me know.
