You do know that a car loses a lot of rwhp when you put one of those in, right?
Yes, and over 300 RWHP???

I find a couple of really cute things about your post John.
1. You totally go around the question I proposed.
2. You don't even spell Erik's name right. After the kind of money he spent with you I would assume you would know how to spell his name!

Another note.....I am sure you have never had to "repair" any of UGR's cars. Seems from everything I have read around here they don't really have this kind of issues.

EVERY tuner has issues... it just how they handle them. im SURE UGR has spun mains, just like everyone else. and yes... you will losE ALOT of power from an auto... and the hennesey 1000 is 1000 BPH! not RWHP!(as of 4 years ago...) .... so take off around 150 - 180 for drivetrain loss (15 -18%) then MORE for a automatic.
btw, did you "friend" lock up the converter on the dyno?
fight your own battles. not your friends.

hey man, you seem pretty bent on trying to pick a fight. i'm really not interested in fighting with you or getting sucked into a tuner pissing match. and if you want to be my spell checker then thats fine too. ugr makes a great product but like any other shop, they are not perfect. i understand your sticking up for your friend and appreciate that quality in anyone. peace and have a nice weekend.

Hennessey is the one who dynoed it so you should ask them if they know how to dyno! I hope they can at least do that right.

Judgment day was great John. Glad to see Ricky, Carlos, Jim, and Tim out there! Great group of guys. Noticed that you said the Hennessey car may be running....what happened to that? DOA?
