Matt's car is not stock, he has cut outs after the primary cats and custom CAIs, though the biggest advantage he had that night were his MT DRs at 17psi vs my Nitto's at 40psi. Go ahead and ask Joe whose car is quicker/faster, he'll tell you all day long that mine is without question. I spun hard off the line (through 2nd gear actually) and as a man of my word paid the cash. Such is life.
Anything else you would care to add? Maybe the guy's address who actually does your work in Michigan? I have never disparaged your work in any way - but since it's not your work anyway, it wouldn't matter, right?
I'll be in Columbus soon, if you're looking for another race. Afterwards, I will even tune your car for you.

For the record, my car has Kleemann Ceramic coated headers, downpipes, Kleemann ECU/pulley, VRUS 80mm TB, LET HE, LSD, Vrus 80mm Airbox/filters and intake tubes. I also have lighter EVO floating rotors.
My car routinely traps at 122+ and as fast as 124.6mph. I know of no other E55 that has trapped that fast without nitrous.

His blower bypass valve wasn't working, you couldn't figure that out? Explain to me how you managed to lose 40rwhp on an otherwise stock E55.

It's no secret Dave is my lead tuner, it's actually been posted multiple times before in this forum alone.
Call me when you're in town. 614 940 9523. I wouldn't let you tune my lawnmore Wayne.

Good luck with the Snake Oil Show.

Again though, ask him whose car is quicker/faster, you'll get the same answer from both of us.
As for the "snake oil show" bring something comparable mod wise to Columbus or MIR. Losing 40rwhp on a stock E55 is something special, that's for sure.

Wayne - You just said you'd be in Cbus soon and Andy threw down a challenge. Yet, this is what you reply with ???
LAME dude. If it's snake oil he's selling....why not agree to race him or bring a like modded car that you have done and both of you dyno run on the same day, same conditions, same dyno and we can finally put all this BS to rest. But, you seem like your backing out - I mean you are the one who asked if Andy was looking for another race....
Put your money and reputation where your mouth is bro.

I see, so the other tuners faking their dyno graphs.... I've had my car dyno'd at RENNtech's shop and at another shop during Viper dyno days, the car made +/- 4HP of what it did at their shop....
I've personally rented the drag strip down here many times, and RENNtech, AA, ASR has showed up every time..... they ran their modified cars agains other modded cars, stock ones, whatever was out there....
So you would have pulled an AWD Gallardo from a dig in a REAL race on the street by 2 car lengths instantly?

More like magic ignorance.
Anyone can do anything they want to a dyno graph, but no one can dispute same day head to head track results. Make sense now?
Reg. the Gallardo, we went from a 20 roll (had we gone from a dig I would've pulled 2 cars instantly) and I pulled one car through 2nd gear, which the Gallardo gained back and added half a car to by 120. When racing at triple digit speeds aerodynamics and gearing play a larger roll than they do at slower rates.
What's your explanation for the repeated door to door 50-130 runs against Rock's stage 3 E55 that traps 121-124?

Mikey,
For the record, my car has Kleemann Ceramic coated headers, downpipes, Kleemann ECU/pulley, VRUS 80mm TB, LET HE, Vrus 80mm Airbox/filters and intake tubes. I also have lighter EVO floating rotors.
My car routinely traps at 122+ and as fast as 124.6mph. I know of no other E55 that has trapped that fast without nitrous.

As for driver's, that's something for you and Chris to discuss. Think you have a shot at Marko's car?

lil chris can hang cant he? Its all in the tune isnt
Nope, more boost and 5.5l VS 6.0l is a lost cause, plus he has a few odds and ends i dont have, we speak on the phone occasionally

I don't think a dyno shootout would be fair to you...what happens if your file doesn't work? Do we need to wait for another one?

No, it's all in the combination actually. If it was all in the tune you'd have no problem running without your trunk cooler.
It's not the displacement that matters

Tell you what. We'll even do a second dyno tuning day (after MIR) and work it around your schedule. I don't see how you can possibly decline that...

There will be a tuner shootout at MIR. I've never seen a dyno go down the 1/4 mile.
