Lol the cat is out of the bag. I build Vortech units (and apparently poorly according to him). Dammit Gem!

No, Gem stopped talking to me because I wouldn't continually post his shit online in regards to that suspension guy fiasco. I got tired of seeing IM/Emails from him saying "Why aren't you defending me?" or "You should spearhead the campaign to get me unbanned". Sorry, but at the time, we were nearing our development cycle and I was overseeing a release. AKA, my job took my priority. So I stopped signing into that IM messenger.

Gem has always been about the numbers. He constantly wants EVERYONE to buy a Vortech so he can feel better about his decisions and feel like he's on the forefront. He's the best unpaid salesman I've ever seen. But regardless, at the end of the day, he's been nothing but hazy at best. All his initial results were with an unannounced upgrade that no one had access to. Once that came out, he pranced around to 3 different dyno technologies in search of the highest number. Now, he's running a wastegated setup with a smaller pulley and WMI, while claiming that it's only to simulate 93 octane. Sorry, but the knock resistance of WMI is far higher than 93 octane. I know this, and thus I posted that.

It's impressive for sure, but, like I said, A majority of the population on here would rather see off the shelf results (myself included). I want to know what I get for 5k that is available for purchase. I told him to just pick a dyno and do a comparison on the same day, same dyno of the 3 pulleys that are available to the public. People can get an idea of which pulley they want to run for which power level. Seems simple enough... Alas, at least Phastek will post their results in a controlled, and mature, manner.
