Kyle, you are sitting on a goldmine here, but you have to tweek credibility
to open the floodgates.
Why don't you send a loaner up to Dennis Haynes for an impartial
analysis/test. All you have to do is get some testimonials from the list
heavyweights and we will all buy these from you. You will get 50 orders, I
bet. But you need 3rd party verification.
I had indeed forgotton about this post, and you are right to repost it
pointing out that it was not a joke. But we need to get some
engineering-related discussions going.
Why don't you reformulate your post so that it discusses all the issues. A
post like this is so outrageous, you need to give us a lot, like, 5 pages
of analysis on it.You've got to jumpstart us onto this topic. I might
consider installing it, but any list heavyweight will do.
Also, stop reporting that 30% horsepower increase figure without backing it
up better. You strain credibility by quoting an outrageous figure like that
without backing it up.
If you say you have dyno test results you can report, then report them.
Hey, listies, has Kyle lost his marbles here or what?
