Do SVS and the good family name a favor and take Jr. over your knee and paddle his ass, take away his computer and tell him to get his ass back in the shop and get some cars DONE. You're not paying him to sit on the computer all day! He's doing far more harm than good and it's diminishing what you've accomplished so far. Do what the rest of the tuners are doing (except for JH) and let the customers cars do the talking. But in order to do that you need to get them done.
TX John is one of the few tuners to get on and talk some smack. It's cool, I guess it's a TX thing and the rest of us wouldn't understand. No harm meant.
After reading all the trash talk, BS and more do you wonder why a tuner stays clear?
"no harm meant" why not everyone else does. Might as well step up and trash someone, everyone else has an opinion no matter if it is factual or not, this is the Alley.
I'm not saying it, I'm suggesting his father needs to say it. Hennessey owns his company and has every right to talk smack. Jr's effecting daddies business. He needs to get his ass back to working on his customer cars, Paolo needs to get his ass back to working on his car and lay off the computers. Let the cars do the talking. Too much time is spent typing and not enough time wrenching. With as much time is wasted on this crap it's amazing any cars get done.
Dont worry this is a "borrowed" IP address as well, so it doesn't matter where I'm at. Somewhere near Tulsa... this wireless stuff is great isn't it. Ya Ass Clown!
Uhhhhh thats what I'm doing right now. Took this 5 minutes ago. Completed in about 2 weeks. Set up to do some road course track testing. Finishing all the parameters and going to start tuning. The base map needs to be tweaked and then going on the mustang dyno. SC with low boost. I will put up more info as we gain information.
OK now I'm really fucking confused. The video says SVS Stryker SRT TT. The video seems to show a GTS with a SC on it. Between that in the voices in my head I don't know if I can go on. Now I see how you get confused with how much boost you ran or didn't run etc. If naming the files is that difficult, I can see where the mix up must be. If you can't get that right I wouldn't want you tuning my car. Oh wait, I tune my own car so I don't need anyone to do it for me.
Although I'm glad to see you can sit in the car with a laptop. Idle still sounds a bit high and you can still get a bit leaner there at idle. You were at 14.3 and want it to be toggling between rich and lean on each side of 14.7. Oh I'm sure you knew that. But you also probably knew you don't want to sit and tune idle issues with a car sitting and heat soaking either. You want to do it immediately after driving it, which matches real world conditions. Never mind, you probably knew that too.
"You eat shit" oh excuse me that is I Eat Z3
a wad at best
I found your note pad, note to self, wake up and make an attempt to dump on another tuner.
wrong heading, so fuckin what. you say "ok now I'm really fucking confused", that happens to you many times every day and it is not that hard to get you confused I am told.
So bottom line other than thinking that you are someones friend you don't even have a dog in this hunt so whats your point?
No Viper, never use a Viper tuner, your car is a used rag beyond help so again I ask what is your point other than to stir the shit as requested by a friend.
Change your post name to Ieatshitdaily, it fits shit breath.

Wow. No one gives a fuck what you think you know. So on that note, why dont you STFU and GTFO.... god, you sound like such a little bitch... i want to slap you thru the internet.
oh shit... now your really in for it gimpy. i just watched the video.
thats not a air/fuel gauge that says 14.3 in that video. It says "143" and its a god damn temp gauge... the guy is obviously working on cold start tuning.
god damn boy, wtf is your problem.
If you ever want to learn why you should slit you wrists now and quit posting, send me a PM and I will gladly school you about why a car utilizing 1 or more 5-wire o2 sensors is not going to "toggling between rich and lean on each side of 14.7" like you think it should.
Gee that's funny. You have an existing coolant temp gauge sitting in the dash and then replace it with the fly digital gauge? You have a freaking Motec to log everything but feel the need for a digital gauge? OK sparky if you insist. Gee my car with my 5 wire O2 Does toggle a bit back and forth at stoic, like it should. Not as pronounced as a narrow band with dramatic sweeps back and forth. But does go from richer to leaner. This is what causes a CAT to fire off and burn fuel. Not that you need a cat to have your car tuned properly it's just how it all works.
So as the Gov of California once said, "Phuck You Asshole!"
I cant beleive you just posted again... you just dont know when to stop making a fool of yourself... do you?
Before we get started... I just wanted to ask... are you REALLY this fuckin stupid?
Alright now, my little bitch, lets begin.
First of all, I would like to make known, that you have no fuckin idea what you are talking about.
Second, god damn it you dumbass, quit making assumptions when you A: Dont know shit, B: Have no idea what your looking at, and C: Dont know shit.
Its not a coolant temp gauge either. Is your frustration and confusion building? Are you gonna cry now?
Why dont you tell us all why you feel that the A/F should "toggle" back and forth? Before I make you look even more retarded, I figured I would give you the chance to do it for yourself. I hear you excuses about the CAT, but ill give you more credit than your worth and assume that you understand that that car does not have cats on it. So blabber your incorrect technical bullshit some more so I can find more things to make fun of you about.
OK I was wrong where? You and Jr. are so alike it's not even funny. With the same wit and humor neither of you have had the capability of disproving ANYTHING I've said. So lets say it is a coolant temp sensor, what kind of fucking idiot would add a digital temp gauge to a car that allready had one. OH I know, the same idiot that would chose SVS to add a blower! If that's an intake air temp, those numbers suck even worse at idle than mine do at full boost. If you need me to tune your MR2 or the SVS car let me know. Because from what I saw from the dyno numbers you need some help. Phuck You.
What kind of idiot would add a coolant temp gauge to a car that already had one? You asking me? I would have to vote: you?? I dunno fucktard, your the idiot... tell us who it is your band of associates who would do such a thing? Not only that... but tell us why its so idiotic.
And for god's sake you will please just get over it and tell us all what that gauge is, for crying out loud. DONT YOU KNOW WHAT THAT GAUGE IS?
I knew what that fuckin gauge was before you were ever even a tuner... Ron showed it to me on Monday.
"neither of you have had the capability of disproving ANYTHING I've said" huh? wtf? ... What things have I attempted however failed to disprove?
Your a riot man... Do you EVER know WTF your talking about... do you spend your entire life running in circles of panic, like a chicken with its head cut off, trying to figure out how to cover up your innadequacies... do you just keep changing topics hoping that its eventually going to roll back to something you know enough about to argue... REGARDLESS OF RELEVANCE?
Cant you tell us about a closed loop oxygen sensor cycle? You seem to know so much about it I was hoping to learn a thing or two.
"OH I know, the same idiot that would chose SVS to add a blower!"... oh my, Why dont you tell us why you feel that way chief? What is it you have against the way SVS puts a blower on a car?
So you think I am intimidated that you know I used to be associated with the MR2 community... Sorry fucktard, I am not. To be quite honest, I find it pretty cool that I am becoming known of to the Viper Mafia. I feel like a fuckin celebrity.
Not only that.. but this is pretty easy here... There are a very very very limited amount of people in the ENTIRE VIPER COMMUNITY that would recognize my face, let alone know that I had anything to do with MR2s.
So how is Jimmy doing these days? Or is that who you are? If so... wow, I never had a problem with ya before this... what happened? Otherwise... Not really sure who you are, not really concerned... but apparently you got something to hide... that is unless your going to stand up.
I will tell you right now you fuckin piece of shit... your wasting your time trying to fuck with me. Your little punk ass doesn't have the mental capacity to rain on my parade.
Do you have the balls to do it? Come on you fag fuck. Stand up. I put my name right there in my profile and came right in here to talk shit to you. are you some fuckin pussy thats hiding behind a computer to talk shit to people. STAND UP YOU FUCKIN BITCH. You want to play this game, play it right.
"Because from what I saw from the dyno numbers you need some help" :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: Hey there cock jocky, the car never even ran, I sold the chassis to a guy in Toronto. Nice try tho...
Anyway... please answer all my questions above... if you dont keep running your mouth, I might get bored and have to quit posting to this thread. Or is that what you want?
EDIT: I wanted to add my Mission Statement:
A: Entertain myself
B: Get you all worked up
OK Charles, luckily I've had experience working with LD kids so I will do my best to communicate with you at this level. Oh yeah, put the fork down before you hurt yourself.
If you knew how to read you will see that I'm assuming (see I'm not quite as intimate as you and Jr., I haven't been told by him what the gauge was) that this would be most likely be an intake temp gauge. IF I were right 143 is pretty fucking pathetic for a car at idle. Wouldn't you (the expert) agree? But why would you need that with a Motec? Other asumptions are that it might be an anal probe so you know when your ass is about to blister so you know when to stop. Hey, I could be wrong though. "Cause I don't know shit!"
Regarding the SVS blower issue. I still feel Turbo's are better than blowers so I never quite understood SVS stepping backwards to SC. But with Turbo sales where they were it's understandable. I was truly anxious to see what it would run in the mile. The SC stayed on just fine, however the belt didn't quite stay on the car, which regardless of what a car runs on the dyno, it does need to perform in the real world.
Regarding your MR2. I wasn't refering to your MR2 numbers. I'm refering to the Viper dyno numbers with the stupid rich 11:1 AF ratios and corresponding dips in HP and torque. Is that your expert tuning?
Hell, It's a shame you dumped the MR2. I was tuning those in the freakin 80's and 90's. Love the car, just a real bitch to get any sunstantial air to the intercooler. Hell, I even owned a Celica All-Trac Turbo with the 3SGTE.
Hey, I'm not gonna hold anything against you, you're just a puppet trying to keep a customer happy. After all, you are the expert, I'm just seeking infinate wisdom from the gurus like yourself. I've got a job outside of the automotive world and obviously, you're the profesional. I just do this shit for fun.
But this thread has taken such a wrong turn, wait no it hasn't. Jr. did back off the keyboard and he's letting you do this stuff for him. These are billable hours aren't they? Good little ass puppet!
Nice to see you havent run off and hid under the stairs, asswipe... was wondering if you were going to post again.
Also glad to see you post something with any type of relevence to previous conversation in this thread. Wasn't expecting that type of intelluctuality. (is that a word?)
Now lets do this... WHY would someone want a gauge to read a parameter that the vehicle's EMS logs? Why do you put a boost gauge in a car? For the same reason... if your driving down the road, racing down the highway... whatever... who wants to have to bust out the laptop just to check on basic shit? Thats all... sometimes you just want to have that live readout sitting there for you to look at when you feel like looking at it. I mean shit, come on man, you must know they are experimenting with a unique charge cooler. Of course they are going to want a gauge for that.
As for why the air intake temp was that high? I am not sure. I incorrectly made the assumption that they were in the cold start cycle when that video was recorded... That was the first time the car ran, and it had been sitting there heat soaking for some time. As for why its so high at that exact moment? Take some guesses... perhaps the air/water intercooler pump was not on, perhaps something was momentarily not setup correctly with their peltier (sp?) chip setup. Either way... who gives a fuck... and why do you? You honestly think they would have cars making the power they do with intake temps that high under normal conditions? Of course not. Let them worry about it. The car JUST RAN that moment. Nothing is 100% done when you first turn the key... you should know that. So how about just relaxing, letting them do their thing, and minding your own fuckin business? They didnt post that video to advertise their current intake temps... they posted it just to show what they are currently playing with.
Knowing all of this, can you relax and let go of the gauge and what it was reading during that short video clip?
Blower issue? I can see where you are coming from.. you would have looked much less guilty of being a SVS hater if you would have said "The same kind of idiot that uses a SC rather then turbos for their boost needs". But thats not what you said, what you said sounded as an indirect attack at the way SVS does things. Better communication skills could have prevented this misunderstood bias. Thanks for clearing that up. SVS obviously prefers turbos over superchargers... since this is what their own shop car runs. However, their business is a business like any other... you have to give the customer what they want as long as you can both meet terms on the setup.
No its not my expert turning on any of the SVS Vipers. I do not work for or with SVS. The SVS customer projects are of such extreme magnitude, that I honestly do not have the balls to be held responsible for the tuning on those machines.
An 11:1 A/F ratio may be richer then required... but you know as well as I do that some people prefer to have that margin of safty in the tuning. You cannot tune a car for every single situation the world can provide. You can only tune for the situation you have the car in while its under your wing and being tuned. Once its leaves... who the fuck knows the owner is going to do. If the car is already making more power then it can put to the ground below 100mph... then why not leave that safty margin in there... fuck the extra 20-30rwhp... wouldnt you rather have that little extra guarentee that your not going to melt a piston? I know I would. Stop attacking other peoples methods... your way is not the only way.
From what you say, you seem to know about Toyotas. Everyone knows they are essentially the most robust and reliable vehicles for the money. I am sure you have seen what type of A/F ratio those cars run from the factory under airflow levels above stock... or no wait, you havent. No one has... cause you cant. They run rich off the scale of any wideband O2 sensor. 11:1 is right in the prime middle of safty vs power. If you were the owner of the car, and you asked SVS to tune your car to a leaner A/F target, wherever yours may be, do you honestly think that they wouldnt do it? Of course they would. But not everyone cares about making that LAST TINY BIT of HP. Some people would like extra reassurance that the engine will not have to be torn down soon.
Dont worry about what happened with the belt at the standing mile. I know for a fact they fixed the problem before sending the car back to the customer... and thats what matters. Hell, who gives a shit what any tuner does wrong in the process of research and development... its what they give back to the customer that matters. I own a shop, and I have blown customers motors before. Know what I did? I fixed the problem, which was MY PROBLEM, and send them back a car that never blew up on them. I would expect the same of any quality tuner. If I contracted someone else to build me a car, I honestly do not give a shit if they blew my motor 7 times before they got it right, as long as it was right when I got it back. So for real... relax about the belt... I seem to recall a time I was standing at a race track in Byron when the owner of a very well known supercharged Viper complained about a belt issue with his NON-SVS blower system. Did anyone talk shit? No, cause its not our place, and its not our problem. Maybe you should practice this level of privacy.
I dumped the MR2 to allow more time and money for my other cars... a fully built twin turbo 350z that has not started up yet, and my Honda civic street car which has so far put down 415fwhp on low boost pump gas. The MR2 is a shame, as it was a way cooler car then these two... but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Glad you dont hold anything against me... and I can return that favor if you keep your level of communications this high rather then posting with uninformed and biased shit talking. I posted here not because anyone at SVS even requested or talked to me about this thread... but because I read your posts and found them to be out of line, and I figured I would go ahead and give you what you had coming. If your going to talk shit, you need to back it up.
This thread never took a turn, this is where it was headed with your posts being how they were. You can't just sit behind your keyboard and talk shit without explaining your concerns (see everythign we had to go thru just to get you to make any sense or explain what exactly your complaints were?)... and last but not least... no one can take you very seriously while your hiding your identity. You have problems if you didn't expect SOMEONE to give you shit for this thread.
Dont call me a puppet. It REALLY does look the other way around, honestly.
Why dont you stand up and say who you are? What exactly are you hiding?
Either way... thanks for posting more like a man, and describing your problems instead of what this thread started out as... which was appearing to be a completely uninformed attempt to create doubt in the minds of those considering SVS as a tuner. I am also glad that I was able to hopefully alleviate your concerns and help you make sense of the true situation, rather then what you innitially saw things as being. :thumb:
All the things I say in this post... if you have the experience you claim (and i honestly do beleive you)... then, you didn't need to read these things, you should have already known them. This is what makes me tend to beleive that you have a hidden agenda to your posts. The way you go about things on here, you look to be extremely shady. Are you not interested in clearing that up? You can, easily. Stop hiding, and let everyone know who you are. If your not in some way associated or previously associated with SVS, a previous customer of theirs, or one of their competitors... then there is no more reason to hide.
Ill let you slide on the idle air/fuel target, since you seem to be ignoring that, I will naturally assume that you made an honest mistake and have since realized this. No worries, we all do it.
Not only that, but I really am just curious to know who it is I am talking to, and who it is that seems to know a thing or two about myself. Maybe we can go out for a drink? [img]/images/graemlins/drunk[/img]
