If you'd like to buy me a mandrel bender then get to it.

So, if Orief went and redid his exhaust and gained 15-20hp, would you be convinced that your exhaust is restrictive? How much power loss is acceptable? Between your hot air intakes and crush bent exhaust you are losing hp. Is this acceptable?

The part you're missing or didn't bother to read is that the Dyno event was hired to be a private event.



I'm not missing anything. The only thing I've seen posted about Shaun's involvement with the dyno event (prior to it happening) was that his "official" involvement was terminated(Dragon's post about 2/3's of the way down). I didn't see that the event was described as a "limited attendance" or "private" event. I don't remember reading that video cameras would be prohibited. Regardless who was in attendance, or who operated the camera, the fact of the matter is there was no expectation of privacy, therefore it couldn't be invaded. It would be like complaining that someone had a camera at a night club.

And, for another matter, if everyone objected (since the event was "a 'pay when you get there' arrangement" according to the post I linked to) why did anyone run if he was there, in violation of the agreement with the owner?

Well sure that sounds great. Since Shaunbag can't control his emotions, his mouth or his actions, & because you speculate that Shaunbags problems will somehow come under control. Then you & I should work together to police the entire internet so that no one makes another outrageous claim for the power output of any vehicle on the entire internet. After all, if it's "outrageous claims" that's at the root of his problems, then "outrageous claims" by the 6 banger guys & everyone else should also be getting his hateful EMails.

BUT GUESS WHAT, The only ones getting the hate are the SBC guys!!!

Kinda blows your freekin theory that it's caused by the "outrageous claims" Don't it?

Better yet, Why don't you guys treat others' the way you'd like to be treated & expect to be treated the same way you treat others?

Can you site any Forum Members with 6 bangers that have made any outrageous claims? If so, we'll call them out and tell them to get a dyno slip.

FieroX has made some outrageous claims. Of course he does have some videos to back them up. Speaking of which, isn't it about time for an update?

Yeah X, we're calling you out. Let's see some proof.

There are alot of big HP numbers being thrown around and as much as I hate to say, most are from SBC owners. I mean when you throw out a number over 300 HP, then you need to have something to back it up. When you throw out a timeslip showing a 11.4 with a 1.5 60' running a SBC on a 5 speed Getrag, then you better be ready to have video proof. This is just mu opinion.




That's fine, But why is it that those of us that HAVE posted dyno's and/or timeslips still get the hate mail? Why do we get grouped in with others that just make claims? So now a dyno and a timeslip aren't valid proof? Now you want video's too? What's next, are you going to want to do a tech inspect of each car? Do you have video of your 12 second run?

Here are my final statements in this thread:
My car was built the way I wanted it. Not to please anyone else.
The engine is rated at 355hp and it dyno'd 309rwhp. It was dyno'd out of my own curiosity, Not to prove anything to anyone else.
My car runs 0-60 in just under 4.0 seconds and will cover 1320 ft (1/4 mile) in 12.3 seconds. The runs were for my own satisfaction, again not to prove anything to anyone. I did however post the dyno and timeslip to SHARE information with others.
I have about 5-6 video's of my car. I have posted one and got nothing but grief from the "SBC haters". Do you really think I am going to post anymore?

Shaunna is nothing but a pathetic attention whore. He goes out of his way to give folks grief and sends his peons over here to create grief on PFF. His antics use to be humorous, but after 4-5 years of the same old BS, it is now tiresome. (Funny how some that followed him in the past are also getting tired of it as well.) No matter how much you ignore him, he is still going to post his BS, it is his obsession.

My advice is to just ignore him and his antics.

Enjoy.

Since I was kind enough to even consider your theory, maybe you'd like to try this theory on.

It's not really my theory, but I'm sure it's a lot closer to the truth than your theory is.

The haters are, with almost no exception, young and unemployed or seriously underemployed. They can’t not now, nor will they ever likely be able to buy the best of anything to put on their car. It's that simple.

If they’re mechanically inclined they can go to the boneyard and get an engine from grandma's wrecked Park Avenue for darn near nothing, throw something together. Kudos to them for having the skill to install it; of course, they've got plenty of time to learn, if they aren't working. If they do a good job & are proud of their work haters can actually develope into normal people & let the hate go.

The haters comments really smell like sour grapes. They are reaching and nit-picking over bullshit stuff. If they can convince someone that their engine swap is the best, they might start to believe it themselves.

We had an expectation of privacy or at least an expectation that we could have a day of fun hanging out with our friends without some fuuking ******* posting mocking videos of it all over the internet for a full year after the event.

HOW'S THAT AZZZHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You aren't gonna take it to court, I'm not taking it to court. Shounbag is much more likely to get a baseball bat up the side of the head than a summons.

NOW, your freeking legal opinion not withstanding.

A Fiero owner shouldn't have to go to any Fiero event in the world & have to stalked for the next year by nasty emails & mocking videos of that Fiero owners participation in that event.

CAN'T YOU ****ING UNDERSTAND THAT

You & your RFT buddys are the forum police. You find the 6 banger claims & you call them out on them.

I'm willing to live & let live, you're the one who wants the internet policed.
