The chip not what I wanted?
Hows this for starters...
with a jrsc on my car wanting to increase the boost...I ask you if I could use a Lightning MAF programed for 42s...you say yes. I buy one and order a chip. I wait 1.5 months for my chip. I get it, the car detonates heavily, I have to send it back
You tell me to sell the maf and buy one from you so I do. I wait 3 months total for that maf. After 1 month you say its sent. I wait two weeks and you say it was a different Erik you sent it to and you didnt have one for me...still waiting and waiting and waiting
I say screw it and sell the jrsc for a aerocharger. I have you burn the chip for the turbo before you sent it back with the maf. When I finally get it it detonates. You tell me to have it tuned in North carolina...
Then mike says he'll be in the area so I plan to meet with him. I wait 1.5months to meet with him. Pay him another $100 and he tunes the car on the wideband and laptop. All is great...for 2 days when it starts detonating again at 10psi. I told you it was and you told me I couldnt run more than 8psi on 93. I lower it to 8...when it still detonates you tell me to lower it to 7 so I do. It stops detonating.
When I ask you why P51 can run 7 non intercooled with no problems and Chris F can run 10-11psi 200+whp with no problems you call them lyers and say that its not true...I think your exact word were "I'll call their [censored]"
I then go on to tell you that from the info I've gathered, I just need to be running richer..something like 11-11.5/1 instead of the 12.5/1 you had it set at. You went on to tell me that it will blow my motor at 11/1 because being that rich is as bad as being rich.
Then I finally convice mike to send me a chip with an 11.5/1 fuel ratio but he wants more money to do the reburn...so thats $130 plsu the cost of the chip I've spent on the chip and the car still doesnt run right. He says i'll have it in a week. 2 weeks go by, nothing...I email him and he tells me he is out of chip and it'll be about a month until I can get one. I wait a couple more weeks, get fed up and sell the turbo kit.
So please, dont try and pretend like the chip is not what I wanted...I jsut wanted a decent running car and the kicker of the whole story is how you just kept saying i had to lower the boost and run race gas. If you would have simply admited you didnt know why it was detonating and tried making it richer that would have been fine but you just kept insisting I wcouldnt run that much boost with the aerocharger and I had to mix in race gas. You say you tune the car to be safe? Well the 9 degrees timing you had my car set at was safe, I guess except for the crazy egts it must have made...but 12.5/1 a/f safe? What a joke
I'm willing to bet that 80% of the people who have had personal experience with you have experienced similar things I've typed above...
You want more evidence, just ask because i've been in contact with MANY people who have had their car tuned with you, both on your dyno and through the mail and have plenty of other stories that back up what I'm saying but I'd rather leave other people out of it
keep on holding to the high horsepower you put out on the dyno on your car because it seems thats all you have to back it up
edit: wow, what a surprise, as I tpyed this someone posted wondering "where the hell is their chip"
