guys do i really need to dig up all the SD SST kill threads again?
with my S3 car i went down countless times, but also beat the said SST car countless times.
Jose best Dyno was 330Hp and 420Tq............
The story ends here, SST kills all tuned or not. Run what you brung, just don't run your mouth. Loose or win, the SST has been on the recieving side of both. Will it get its ass handed to it by a big turbo or stage 3, hell yes. Will it beat those same cars as well, proven to do so on many occations. This is the simple fact of, tune and what you brought out with you that night. Either it can or it can not, THAT NIGHT, not what could have happend "if" I were on a better tune or "out of fuel" complaints that the bigger turbo guys have. You either win, or loose. Welcome to getting owned.

Lots of bugs to get worked out of the cars. I don't think there were any SRT4's running on spray that day. I could be wrong though.
Dude, my problem is that you are missing half the story. The turbo was an R&D turbo. It was something to try out and blow it up if it's going to blow. it did, so he went back to the drawing board.
Mike, I will still run you, win or lose (but real races start from a dead stop). You think I am running ungodly timing... You are so wrong. Don't talk about what you don't know. That's your problem right now. You are saying stuff on what you "think" you know. I am not jumping on the PTP bus, I am just stating facts.
we can run w/e you like. i have no problems from a dig. all i know is you love timing. and _____ said you ran 30psi on pump.
The reason why you changed turbos so many times is because again "you thought you knew what you doing and jumped the gun" You happened to stumble accross a combination that finally works for you. You learned the hard way. You are like John in the sense that you are a good salesman. You are selling yourself your own crap though.
i knew what i was looking for. john fed me some BULLSHIT lies about a turbo he mocked up in his garage. come to find out, what BS he fed me was not true about the turbo's characteristics. he said 3200rpm spool. and you been in my car. and you know it wasnt even close. so i ditched it. the only thing i learned was not to fuckin deal w/ PTP. ive learned that. reeds learned that. droks learned that. ppx learned that. i can keep going, but the others would probably prefer not to be mentioned. the only one oblivious to PTP's crap in norcal is you man. we been there done that. you are continuously getting the hook up from him, so i understand your defense.
im sellin myself what crap? shit that i know and learned from past setups? from past experiences? you just got into this tuning thing recently. ive been through so many setups and different routes because noone else in norcal has. someone has to. thats the problem, and thats why everyone in norcal is stuck at a measely 260-310hp not willing to spend money and take chances.
Is anything that I stated earlier about you untrue? If it is, call me out. Dude, You're my friend, but stop with the drama. Your head has gotten way to big. I am not taking jabs at anyone, we all get along, we can all be grown up about the whole situation.
what you stated is your opinion about me. you know how i am. i speak it as i see it. im blunt and to the point. my head's always been this big. i think you jumped too far into PTP's house and are liking the hookups a lil much.
there's nothing to be grown up about because this situation is non-existant in my mind. i think the SST's are garbage. and i believe the S3k's are a heap of junk. you not liking my opinions about this topic didnt necessarily involve you in it, so im not sure why you looked to jump in for drama...because you knew that was what was gunna happen.
mole, jose raced a bootsy 1/2 ass tuned 50trim. thats why the results were what they were.
i been thru the whole sst/i-mani/ext. gate phase. and know what its truly capable of. its a neat lil turbo for a bolt on car... but please, lets not compare these things to a s3...let alone a properly modded 50trim

I jumped on this because you mentioned my name and you were not speaking the truth!!! That's how I got dragged into this situation. How am I getting hooked up? I paid for everything I got from him!!! The turbo was a test turbo. I was testing it for him and it wasn't paid for because it was a tester. That's it!! I never was planning on keeping it.
matt. point is, i didnt drag you specifically into this thread. i just said id offer up my car against yours to race...since everyone thinks this modded stock turbo will dominate big turbos.
we know it not to be the case, and that was ALL i was trying to get across.
if there is one thing that gets me, its bullshit gimmicks and marketing schemes to make a quick buck..

when did anyone say that it will dominate big turbos. you know ive beaten a corvette before im guessing your gonna say that i think i can dominate every last one of them now huh. like i said once it will hold its own. its a good turbo does it have the same potential as alot of other setups out there no. but it does have alot of potential and people have run really great times with them.
but hey youve already shown the world that your e penis is 10x larger then ours

It's not a scheme. You dragged my name into this. You didn't have all the facts. That's what bothered me. You think that since you have been working with the SRT-4 and modding it since you had it that you know a lot more then I do. Well son, I hate to break it to you, but I have way way way more experience with cars then you do. I've been working in the automotive industry for the past nine years. The past six and a half have been at the local speed shop. I know how to tune computers, carburetors, nitrous oxide, superchargers, and now in the past couple of years, I have learned about turbocharged cars.
And I don't see where he said it's better then every turbo out there. It's for people who want a modded stocker...
You guys seem to think that I am all over PTP's nuts... I can tell you that surely I am not. I told you before, I get along with pretty much everyone. Just chill. We'll bullshit more on thursday, talk some more shit, have a drink and my car will still be slower then yours for a few more meets

You are so miss informed it's funny. Those numbers are with an E1... The S3K's thrust bearing went out before I could fully tune it and put it on the dyno... Mike's information FTL again. I do know how to tune computers. At least I do it. You took one look at the software and said "that shits way to complex for me." That's straight from your mouth.
