Ow...my head hurts 
Sounds like someone learned all about the Otto Cycle in their junior year of mechanical engineering classwork and is trying to spew all of his book knowledge at everyone...I can't help but wonder if they've ever turned a wrench
BTW...you aren't an engineer until you get that piece of paper that says so...

While I had a really good laugh getting caught up on the rest of the thread, it appears the original post has been answered and addressed. Let's try and keep it on the original topic at hand.
Radcannon please start a new thread if you want to discuss tuning knowledge, with facts and proof, further. This thread isn't the place for it and I am sure Shawn and Ed would be glad to dicuss it more.

epic thread
AS far as RaDCaNNoN I want to get an ls3 vette, slap on headers and a cam, tune it, then print 50,000 of my 100 plus HP gain dyno sheets, pile them in his parents yard, and have as bonfire while I do burnouts in front of the house
he sounds like another one that goes to school and thinks he knows everything about everything. Fact is, we dont care what you know or think you know.
Heck NO one on here knows everything, but we know a little, and if you add us together we know a lot. I've been tuning on lsx cars for about 3 years, and I don't know half of a lot of people, but I have real world experience. I'm pretty confident and work hard to make the customer happy, but I don't get on here and tell everyone how bad *** I am and that they don't know jack.
Glad the OP finally got what he needed, sometimes it takes several opinions and different people! I was sure that someone could help out, theres enough people on here that know what they are doing or know how to find out

Just another quick "Thanks" to Ed of Virginia Speed... He was up (NJ) this weekend to help tune a few friends Cars and also to help get us down the racetrack for the first time on this setup... We ended up with a 9.68@144 with our full weight 6 speed Corvette... Thanks for helping us make that happen safely Ed...

To the OP, congrats on a successful tune. Its pretty obvious who knows what they are talking about here. Ed, this boy's ignorance doesn't even deserve a response...........unless it amuses you.
I'm going to paint a picture of this kid for you.............Judging from what I've read by this guy he's 16-18 years old. He probably gets decent grades in school because he can regurgitate whatever the teacher says. He's severely brainwashed and has watched one too many science specials on cable. He comes from well-off parents who severely neglect him but will pay for him to go to college. He's a spoiled brat who has no friends except for the ones on youtube. Hence, he spends his time trolling message boards trying to prove he knows a thing or two. He's read every magazine article ever printed but never turned a wrench in his life. He's wrong, inconsistent and just plain ignorant. He's mad at us "uneducated" grease monkeys for not being his friends, probably because we can smell the BS and he's a cocky arrogant punk who can't decipher between fact and fiction so he and seeks his revenge.
FYI, those electric superchargers don't work...I KNOW I KNOW, it works out on paper when you take the integral of the maf curve from 0 to saturated but trust me they don't work.

Congrats Kyle! Fun to read up on you and Rob kicking *** up there.
Are you coming to the smackdown? Don't have your name on the list. I'll probably start a new thread soon to get final commitments.

Though no doubt Fran could have helped, it's been long done and track results even up... Ed took good care of him.

ahh, what a great thread. It's about time a true genuis, a genuine "mind of the times" like Radcannon came in here and taught all you phonies the way things REALLY work. I mean damn, all you jokers talking about what you have done to this car and that motor like it is the best because it works in the "real world" as you call it, when as Radcannon's textbooks and notes clearly show there are better ways to do things.
You are all in big trouble when Radcanon, the Living Legend, graduates and comes busting out of his mom's basement onto the tuning scene. Ya'llare gonna be lining up to kiss his cracker jack box pinky ring, and bow down to his "Engineering for complete and utter retards" book.

I read most of this thread and my head hurts.
I'm an *actual* mechanical engineer and I work at NASA in Maryland. I do structural analysis of space flight hardware. I know absolutely ZERO about tuning cars, but can I throw some equations around to impress everyone just the same?
