Re: TR 224, how can you tell? WOW!!! Everyone is all flipping out....I don't think what Paul wrote was bad, he was just clarifying it....But of course on the internet, you don't get to hear his tone of voice.
My personal opinion on Paul and Angie from Thunder is that they are awesome people. A few months ago I sent out some e-mails to all the venfors asking them if I can help them out with anything in their business because I got a new job at a promotional company, most vendors didn't reply, some replied and said no thank you, Thunder Racing was the only vendor who said that I can put them in my data base, I did so, now I can justify to my bosses why I spend so much time on LS1tech.com
Another instance I was having problems with my car, I asked for help here on Tech and Paul came to the rescue and exchanged numerous PMs with me, and it all turned out that I was being taken for a ride, but Paul told me what to look for and it turned out I am fine. Also reading a lot of their posts have helped me decide the future of my car. Especially the ones about torque converters.
Anyhow lets end this BS thread, why start troubles with a vendor who spends a lot of time on the boards helping us, they could easily be like most vendors and never post on these boards, thus hurting newbies thirst for knowledge
BTW,Angie sorry for the e-mail about the oil, I was just really upset
JK, that wasn't me, but that guy was nutzzzzzzz

Re: TR 224, how can you tell?
Since I'm the one who intiated the life that this thread has taken, I wanted to step in here after the fact to offer my comments.
I'm glad to see that at least some people took Paul's comment the way I did. I appreciate Angie's post, but still think its kind of odd that an employer would let an employee of theirs who represents their company make comments like this. It doesn't matter if you have to correct people 10,000 times on the same thing. You run a company and your company relies on the income and repeat business of people buying from you. In a market where 90% of what your company sells can be bought at a competitor, you can't afford to make comments and just blow them off as "Oh, thats just how he is." If I went off or was even slightly rude or impatient with one of my customers, and they called back and complained to my boss, I would have to answer for it.
In the end, I'm not even mad about this, its no big deal, but I just want to make sure that the email that Angie got was in no way associated with me. I don't want anyone to think I have this big grudge against Thunder and would sent them derrogitory emails.

I can't believe some of the posts I'm reading here. This has nothing to do with the service that Thunder offers.
I think Paul and perhaps even Angie need to follow other distributors posts and comments and get a little more professional.

Re: TR 224, how can you tell? What are all you people so upset about? Paul just spoke what he thought. Why would we ever ask someone to hide the truth. A coment was made that wasn't true, Paul called him on it to protect his product. Come on now, just admit that your wrong and lets move on! Paul, keep up the good work. We would be loosing alot if we were to just ask Paul to go and sit in a corner.

Re: TR 224, how can you tell? No Constrictor 98TA, you are not the one who initiated this. Paul @ Thunder initiated this! When comments like "Geez if you don't know the 100% correct answer to someone's post just don't post back." are made, that is rude!

Re: TR 224, how can you tell? I can't believe the people saying they won't buy something from Thunder Racing because of this thread. Ya'll need to get a life!
I guess the numerous posts praising their service mean nothing?
I find this amazing.

This is a great country we live in. Our distributors have the right to say what they like. That's what America is all about, freedom. If we choose not to buy from a particular distributor that we feel to be rude, that's our right too!

Re: TR 224, how can you tell? I have a couple of places that I do not buy from that are based soley on service, which is what I believe matters. Nobody is perfect and to make a snap judgement about something that has nothing to do with you, to me is unjustified. 
Has Thunder Racing done anything to you personally? I didn't think so.
That's all I am going to say about this subject. You children have fun.

Re: TR 224, how can you tell? Not a good idea to assume any one companie's parts are just off the shelf.
I happen to know that TR's has a lot of R&D put into it... And that none of their cam grinds are just flavor of the month grinds suggested by Billy or Chris or anyone at Comp.
