Honestly, a lot of people need to lighten up and this could be a good starting point. Happy smack-talking is so much better than all the mean-spirited stuff that we have all seen.
I have no doubt Robi can find a great line and drive his butt off there but (and Im serious here) Big guys like he and I are at a Serious disadvantage in the Power to Weight category. Everyone has the same grip and motor giving up even 50# is massive.

since you do not have any idea who i am maybe i can freshen up your memory:the dynoday meet that we had on your shop was the time when it happened. i was actually considering vishnu as my upgrade plans so i was reading a lot of info.during that day my buddy was one of the guys that was getting an xflash but wasnt able to since you said on the dyno that he was only boosting 12psi so there might be a leak since he has the hks intake and a bov.then we decided to do it another time so we can fix the problem the car was having.then i asked if the price for the xflash would still be the same since we couldnt do it that day and you said yes to it kinda like a raincheck.so a couple days after we installed his stock bov back we decided to schedule an appointment and called.we told whoever that was on the phone that day that we had a price qoute from shiv already about the xflash but he said he never heard of anything like that abd he said that you were out of town so you cant be reached.then i tried sending you a pm about it and never got any reply from it.so after this we got disappointed with this and decided to go with another tune instead.but even with this happening i never said anything to anybody against vishnu hell i even tell people that we got a variety of tuners up here in norcal so people got more selections with the upgrading their evo's.

i know its a long post but i just wanted to express my opinion since we are in an internet forum.but i dont mind racing for fun but being a family man time is one thing that i get short of all the time.(former mod at norcal......and it was my decision to step down)
Doesnt suprise me the former guys didnt bend over backwards for you. But honestly in a situation like this would it not be prudent to talk to Shiv and have everything resolved instantly instead of brooding over it so long? Communication errors happen seems you had to have it NOW and chose a different vendor which is fine prolly for the best, for both of us. While we regreat losing your business and the opportunity to try and provide you with the knowledge and expertise we have the short of it is your mad over a service we Didnt provide to you and felt the need to post in spite of the service we Did provide. I think you can see this and Im sure you didnt mean it so

not mad but just got a little upset about and i didnt held any grudge over this.one of the reasons why some people wants it right away is they dont have a lot of time on their hands or a schedule to work with.the experience that i posted was just to see if shiv would remember it since weve only done one dynoday on his shop and there was only 5 guys getting an xflash that day and being us that wasnt able to since of issues with boost.so i did what other people would do is move along,thx for the reply tho.

Actually, weight can be used to your advantage if the lighter guys can't figure out how to get the karts to stick to the ground. (I have the latter problem)

Everyone does NOT have the same grip.

If you guys go to Le Mans, it'll come down to who can pick the best line with the least amount of sliding and maximum traction. Throttle modulation is key at Le Mans.

Sorry guys, I was in SoCal for a meet this weekend and I am a bit surprised to see how this has all developed. Like Smoggy said, it would be nice to keep this fun.

Shiv and crew, I am going to try to coordinate things with the NCE mods (though Nebolic might be less willing to participate), get schedules, etc. I'll be in touch ASAP, if that's ok.
