I'd pm the mod boostlabcharles. Not that they can do anything but they can ban the guy and be all mean about it.

I've been beat on Evo m, on Ebay, someone hacked my paypal account, someone stole my bank card # TWICE, etc... I haven't had good luck. Now days the only way I pay is over the phone or with a paypal balance that I have from selling something. That's it. No CC info over the internet.

Anyhow, the mods on here can and will try to help you out. Did you pay by paypal? Make sure you file a claim with them. And also, if a CC company is involved, notify them as well. There's a chance you could get something back.

The best rule is this - If you must use a CC to order something, never never ever use your debit card. Because once you get beat with Debit card stuff, you lose your money. You do eventually get it back from the bank, but that could take weeks. At least with a CC all you lose is credit and you're not liable for it anyhow.

Good luck man, hope you get it all worked out.

Well I don't have the dyno sheets yet - still waiting to get them from Nate, but...

495whp and 46xtq (I think - can't remember the exact torque number) on 93 octane @ 26psi

553whp and 498tq on what turned out to be about 5 gallons of 93 octane with 2 gallons of VP109 @ 30psi. Just to explain this gas mix...

When I installed my dual fuel pumps, there were no instructions for wiring it up. The guy from FullBlown talked me through wiring it on the phone, but my gas gauge hasn't worked since. Well since we didn't know how much gas I had in the tank, we guessed as to when to throw in the 109. When I left the dyno, I went back to the pump tune and filled up with 93 - and going off of how many gallons I put in, we estimate I had about 5 gallons in the tank.

I FINALLY managed to figure out my gauge wiring tonight, so I can run out the fuel and go back to the dyno when I'm empty and see what she'll do on some C16 or Q16.

Here's a pic of the 93/109 mix graph...

Mmmmmm....good stuff Denny. I needed what you have tonight. I was on my way home from my parents and got lit up like a candle by a BMW M5 that i mistook for an M3 from the rear. I've never heard an engine that sounded like this one did. It was very sweet.

Thanks Tim.

Did you see the driver? Guy in his 40's maybe? Hamann BMW? I followed one home from work chasing him down just to ask what it was because it sounded like nothing I've ever heard before - it was amazing.

I want to get up to Gbg to look at the GTR before it's gone too!

I actually could not see through the window as they were tinted. Ive never seen an M5 around here before. It sounded exotic. Not like i expected it to sound. Check shortbuss.net for the whole story as i know they frown on details here.

And when i went by today they had 2 on the showroom. 1 still had shipping tape all over it and the other was all cleaned up. Both on the showroom. Both black. Let me know when you wanna go up.
