My main goal is to not let anyone coming along searching for things on the internet to run across one of his threads and take it for truth. I guess if they do they do but the guy walks into it every time he posts or starts a new thread, people try to offer suggestions and corral his thinking back in the right direction and get him off his normal wild goose chases and he gets butthurt, then here we are again, I personally could give two piles of **** less if the truck runs mid 19's at 70mph ... I hope he is happy with his "results" I know I wouldnt be.

I don't think that everyone intends to "pick" on him, he just makes post that result in a debate about what could or should be different. Take for instance, his tb thread. No offense, because I wouldn't attempt to even try it, but many people with years of skill and thousands of dollars don't try to re-create something that is most efficient to begin with. I'm not bashing him for giving it a try, but at some point you look at it and say, well this isn't going to work like I planned and you trash it. Heck how was the wheel formed ya know.

But what I have gathered from this thread is that he makes a post about data collected over the course of 2 years. Then process' the data into Corrected times that are supposed to level the playing field so-to-speak. After his calibrations and other factors, he shaves off .7 in the 1/4 mile and post his results. Thats great, but its not accurate. As most people have said its not exactly about this thread. There are tons of knowlegable people on this site that provide good information, sometimes its in a smart *** manner but they know their stuff. I don't claim to know very much but I mostly read if you can tell by my post count. I have been around a while and like to learn all I can and yes I ask the occasional stupid question, and most of the time I get my answer.

I guess my advice would be to take a look at what you are doing, I.E. posting threads and topics that have been discussed multiple times and had countless hours of discussion on (ex. Custom tunes, EFIlive, HPT, Mail order tunes) and add the info in one of those threads where you saw a gain on your personal vehicle. Custom2500 is just as important to have as every other member on this board because he is here to learn and share his info just like us, but it needs to be shared in a manner that depicts the actual gains and not just the corrected info or the "well my butt felt faster" effect.

I jumped on the band wagon and added my little jab about custom tunez and was just joking, as I don't have a problem with anyone on this site...... except the gay boys like mangled,smokeshow, bumpers, and several others! Im not into that stuff :nunchuk1:

Good luck and if you are serious about something then just put it out there in a way that doesn't make you seem like its the end all be all of trucks and racing and get some constructive advice and if you want prove everyone wrong. In this instance, take your truck to the track, load in your stock tune, run it three times...... then do the same with the aftermarket tune on the same day in the same hour or two and post the results to prove the theory.
