I AM calling you a liar and a robber... and until you show me the parts that I had ship to you guys and that you owe me, parts I paid for, I won't change my opinion.
I'm fed up of BS empty words... if you mean what you say, show me results, ie, my parts.

 

I've got 27" X 15" X 11.5" Hoosier QTPs mounted on 15" Centerline Convo Pros (7.5" wide, I think). I wouldn't say there is much of a bulge (on the tire, that is). Have a look at one of these wheels/tires at FTR tonight.

 

According to my calculations, the DA was 2927' at 4 PM. The DA would have been different at other times of the day.

I hope someone else brings a thermometer tomorrow. We can set them side by side and see how accurate they are with respect to each other.

 

The best thing to do at the track is just find someone with a high end weather station and we will be able to find out the exact DA

 

I think MattG has one. I wonder if it stores historical data, by which you can obtain the DA by time of day.

 

That dyno incident? As in ONE incident? Dude, there is not enough bandwidth on this website to post all of the "incidents" that happened.

Who's name was on the door? Are you kidding me? So let me get this straight:

When the A.R.E. cars of the past went quick it's because of Wades input yet when he tuned MANY cars on the dyno in 170*F weather you point out that it was Nicks name on the door?

Wow, no wonder Wade wants you to shut up. Don't blame him one bit.


Yes you should know about not getting any performance gains from weight reduction, eh Andre?
Yes, definately no reason to brag about that, for once we agree there.

Sure, that's all that counts. Who cares if your knock sensors are turned off or if your running 14:1 A/F ratio with a stock fuel pump and NOS..........

If you had been there last year you have seen Pete tune Andre's car with more weight and a 6-speed go even FASTER!

 

but never 18+:1, though

 

As usual you're telling half the story. It didn't leave the shop at 18:1, you changed the intake T.B. etc and it threw your A.F. off.

18:1 by the way is the max reading. If it read that it's because the dyno lost it's signal for a moment.

I gotta go to work now. Unlike some people, I don't get paid to post on here and I don't post on company time either.

 

I've seen Pete dyno tune 20+ cars this year as I've been in the shop quite a bit with my car and driving other friends to drop-off/pick-up their rides. Every time I've seen the A/F ratio go into the mid/high 13's Pete gets right off the gas... every single time!!! He had to do it several times to my car as it was going lean no matter how much fuel was added above 6,000rpm (pump was dead)

IF... Yes IF your car went 18:1 there is no way he had his foot into it still and I'm going to call a huge Sorry it's just not believable

I won't comment on your other issues as those I can't speak too however; I just find it hard to believe based on my experiences at the shop

 

I will be at the track tonight (and all weekend) with my new weather station. It does log the DA every 3 minutes and then allows you to scroll back to the appropriate time and enter all your run data into it to be stored. You can then download the data to your PC when you get home.

If you want to know what the DA is tonight, stop by where I am pitted and say Hi.

 

hi Matt (my hero)

 

Hey Frank. You must be a hurting unit if I am your hero!

 

If people knew the way you handle yourself after all the sh*t you go through all day, they would think that your some kind of SuperHero. It is an HONOUR to stand & fight by your side with all the obstacles & B.S. we face during the day.

 

Gotta agree with that.

Matt rules!

 

I wanna see him deny it in front of me.
Why would I lie about this.
After the 1st pass, I was WTF... he didn't let go until 5k rpm for sure.
His reaction was to see if the sensor had fallen off.
I requested for more fuel.
he added something like 30% more fuel and still got max 18:1 except a little dip around 3-4k rpms where it came down to 15ish (lowest)... but was maxing @ 18:1 passed 4k rpms.
I F***n saw the graphs in front of my face... I was there... and I'm sure Pete recalls it.
It was late, very late... but still... ppl do make mistakes... and it's only since that day that the engine started the tchou-tchou syndrome.
And for some reason, they don't want to take responsibility for their actions... well... I'm not surprised... since they can't even commit to their word... why believe they will commit to their work ?

 

I know I changed the intake and TB... but would that make it go over 18 ???? not sure
regardless... the car did go over 18, believe it or not... Pete even went under teh car to see if the sensor had come off... but it hadn't... so you have no clue what you talking about.
even after adding 30% fuel, and had 18:1 most of the way, except 3-4k rpm... how you explain that... defective sensor ?
but if that was the case, he still managed to bring it to normal AF readings before I left... so can't blame the sensor there... but I still think the dammage was done.

 

There should be a record of this pull on the dyno computer. It would be simple to prove this AF reading if you or ARE could post the graph.

 

I've asked for the posting of the graph... and hasn't been done...
I know exactly what happened when I was there... and I still have no hard feelings towards Pete on this issue. My issues are with ARE/Autoworx management for not coming up with their endless commitments, and not even giving me my parts.
As for the engine dammage... I have my opinion on where/when the dammage was done, but is there really a way of proving it ??? not sure.
Regardless... after that, the car was given to ARE/Autoworx and then handed back to me, being told it was perfect and with fake-leakdown test #s.
How much BS/lies is one supposed to endure before going elsewhere ?
but I should still get my parts... that are paid for.
So if ppl aren't happy with the bad press, then give me my f***n parts.

 

So the meter goes to 18 yet you "know" it went higher?

SO there's nothing in between the sensor and the computer that could go wrong AND the fact that the sensor didn't come off proves it's working right?

Dude, talk about clueless.........

So there's no such thing as an intermittent problem? Dam you're lost in electronics....

Give your head a shake...........An 18:1 A.F. ratio would melt your fricken eyes in there not to mention your pistons. I suppose next your going to say that your car was running at 130*C cause "the gauge" said so.

Yes, most likely the damage WAS done already.....as in on the race track.

 

I guess the wrong parts went into his car at the race track as well... you are fuggin dumba$$! Funny how the damage did not show up when he just had the leakdown test done at your shop... That car was never right from day 1, anyone with half a brain knows that... be a man and admit it!

So who is the genious behind the 93-Z07 screen name?
