Wow, sounds like kind of a crybaby. Who cares what people think, be a man and post your results. If everyone stopped posting information on the internet just because people disagree, there would be nothing to read.

People are entitled to do what they want. Free country I reckon.
True, selfish but true.
his last post went pretty well from what i remember. except for one kid calling it a dyno queen. apart from that everyone loved it.
I remember the kid calling it a dyno queen. BUT I also remember the comments about the Manifold. It was either Todd or Dezod commenting about it being inefficient. The other negative comments were about the SPA turbo they decided to use the first go around. Dezod I believe were the ones commenting on how crappy of a turbo it was, yet it made 542whp. I believe it was the spooling characteristics of the turbo that did not satisfy Kenny enough, so they changed things and went with the GTK line.

This site is very quick to criticize people for doing something different, when they, themselves have not even achieved that level of performance yet. Kinda like judging a book by its cover. After while it gets annoying, and some people rather just not deal with it at all.

x's 2


Props to the number his car produced though. I think its sick!

im not talkin crap or nothing but i was there when kenny tuned ace83's car and im not impressed. I dont pretend to know what was the problem that kenny couldnt get anymore power out of a tc that has a gt3076. i didnt see any obvious problems so im not sure. I just know it was hot as crap that day........lol and ace only got 240hp and that was with hydra. my only opinion is, more could have been done period.......if there was a problem, he should have seen it and told Ace. so i cant really say man. i just dont know

Then why didn't you tune it? Pay for their dyno services, and give ace the tune he needs if you are displeased with it.

WAs that the nice white tc on turbochargers? thats badass, I wanna see how it runs.. It was still there when I got tuned.. Get your hydra first trav before you race him!

That Would be nice for sure... But I would have to wait months then (just got a town home), and I'm to eager to see it run and get the vid to wait on getting my own hydra. This weekend is IA, I believe we can squeeze a run in. He was contemplating on paying the fee to enter the Redline Time Attack this weekend too. He is more along the lines of going around a track rather than the 1/4 mile, so those wondering what the 1/4 mile time is for his car, don't hold your breathe.

I could but i dont think his car will run after i get ahold of it

All im saying is he just didnt live up to the hype, and i only base this off of what iv seen. he did make the car run better tho

Ok, this is exactly what I was talking about. Criticizing something, when you can't achieve the same or better results. There could be non-controllable factors effecting the numbers on ace's car. Weather, unforseen motor factors, etc.

He also tuned Brian's car. It makes power.

It was Todd who commented on the manifold.

I did comment on the turbo. We used the SPAs for a short time and had lots of problem with the parts. Hence the comment. First hand experience.

Luck has nothing to do with it, there are Cali tCs putting up big numbers as well, but just like Rhythm said, they just don't want to deal with certain SL personalities.

Great job j3st3r!
