So from my take on all of this "borrowed" software is that Jesse doesn't produce any software and he only took what powerchip had and is reselling it???

I'm not understanding this quite fully (if you could enlighten us, since it seems you know more than anyone)...
HPS does their own tuning? Wait.. no...they don't..
When did HPS come out? Like 4-5 years ago? And apparently this rays guy says he left P-chip around the same time... well okay, so HPS is the newbie company here with questionable hardware...
But what I don't get, is how does this explain that he (Jesse) is able to extract any power from a custom kit HPS Kit (GenII) when that thing alone barely went into market - isn't it like a year or a year and a half old?
So how does "borrowed Powerchip software" apply to custom tuning - as it looks like Jesse was able to extract 80HP from this car in its first go-around.

As for the C230 I dont think a C230 will make that power without some serious other upgrades. Vadim knows quite a bit about tuning the M271 motor and I have real issues believing a 228rwhp figure on that car. Even less likely than Franks car.

Dude, the more I read on this thread the more I'm convinced that the author has no idea what he's doing & CAN'T COMPREHEND "START OVER" 
, If I were a mechanic I could retire on guys like these who just close their eyes and throw money at problems until they go away...It's almost comical, I hope his overly privledged 17 year old kid will have at least 51% of his mother's DNA.

Can't wait to see what it shows when I get my car back this Saturday with tuning AND my cooling upgrades.
I just called him and he is pulling up to the dyno this very second....

This was the result of 1/2 hr of tuning on my car
Any kind of tuning takes numerous, numerous hours.
On the street and on the dyno.
Trust me my friend that is what I used to do for a living.
Sadly I even tought Jesse how to do a thing or two to make power.

1/2 hour is exactly what it takes to load "borrowed" Kleemann program into your DME.

I have to admit I find this VERY hard to believe. What kind of PROOF do you have of what you are saying?

Jesse used to work for Powerchip.
He left Powerchip to open his own company, but he "forgot" to return the laptop that had files and tuning software.
You can call and talk to Powerchip and even Jesse will admit that.

There were several theads discussing this matter, going back to 2004, but they are gone now since server upgrade.
