I also can't afford their "boutique" prices either. (good one Mark). lol

So you're saying the above is not a slight toward FM?

Hence my previous comment.

It's interesting to note that Tom has been throwing my Strokers oil usage at FM, too. Now that the Uber is off & the FMII is in, the oil consumption has grossly subsided and it's not getting black as fast. I'm wondering just how the Uber managed to "burn" the oil without leaving a blue smoke trail. Might that be a trait of a SC?

Not so much that he is the Man, but rather he is a Man.

People should be asking you the same thing. Your worship of this Tom guy is growing old and is honestly a little pathetic.

BTW, did you guys catch the part about where Tom paid for the dyno time on that California customer? I'm sure he paid for jmann's dyno time too. He also paid for the dyno time at the FFS dyno day. That alone was $1000 easy.

Big ******* deal. So he like to throw around money, doen't give him any credibility. One could speculate about why he does it, but I won't. Are you really impressed by such bullshit?

perhaps the load on the crankshaft (via the pulley for the SC) has something to do with it? Just a thought

Corky does tend to throw **** out there then disappear though. Why would Corky stick around for an EM debate? It's hardly his strong suit. If it was he wouldn't have picked Houdini (I mean Shiv) for his engine management.

Running a piggyback for 6 months on a few blowers is hardly proof that piggybacks work well with blowers. I wonder how many SC/piggy combo's he's sold?

Tom? He's sold a TON of them. And he said only 1 client went their own route with engine management.

Luckily it appears that few of his clients actually track their cars, or I think we'd be seeing more blown engine events.

We'll see what happens now that he's going after the no knock sensor crowd.
