If he had presented things in a more civil and realistic manner from the start then he may not have taken so much shit. If he had been proven right we all would have looked damned silly.

Tbh most actually feel bad for him as he was lied to and the shop he had used took advantage of his lack of knowledge and showoff attitude to make him believe he actually had 221whp (on a played with dyno)... that being said none feel too bad because he was such a **** about it

I still can't believe he went through with it... after a few month me and phil from moto east had lost any hope he would show for his free dyno pulls that moto east graciously offered when i presented them with the case

According to the pics this was just his daily drive map, not his race map, that's where the secret 221 whp is hidden away at

Yeah, he didn't think all the haters were worthy of seeing a world record N/A BRZ dyno pull

Oh! That reminds me. I should upload my world record 223 whp dyno pull here.

It was a "dino-jet" also so it's apples to apples

Because then he would have no excuse to fall back on.


My favorite is that now dyno numbers are just numbers whereas throughout multiple threads and FB posts his whole proof that it was "best in the world" was the dyno numbers! To use a number, that is a 180 degree change in attitude.

What's with the dropouts in the torque curve? I'm not especially dyno savvy.

I fear the dyno isn't the only tool in this situation. I do give the guy credit for showing up, however.
