Im hung like a rat AND drive a COOPER....So what? I will still try and play.
But to coment about the fastest car around the Ring....I would give any of those up to go around in the Ringtaxi....which is actually what my plates say on my BMW.....that chick can drive!!!!
will always come from the turbo crowd, at least for the near future.. But that peak power comes with some costs... Everything is a combination of compramises, and there is no universal "best" despite what you read on the internet.
Really, this is a pissing contest into the wind... There are no winners, just a lot of wet shoes.

I know it's hard for you to believe, but long before the almighty Jan was messing with SC tuning. Mynes was. 
Now, just becuase they didnt choose to use a software created by someone else and then say they thought all of the tunes up you need clarification? Just because they are actually developing a REAL tuning system specific to the MINIs factory ECU? Oh and that they have an actual STAND ALONE, not some plug an play BS like jan is calling a stand alone? And who did Jan steal said Plug and play from? Is it a rebadged Hydra? No one knows right now till someone finds out, then there will be another thread about Regbaged I mean Revolution MINI works.
Kal is running a Factory ECU on his turbo.
I think it's funny people act like Mynes is new. I think it was Hubie and Tuls working with mynes that did TONS of testing with them at the digital helm. I think Tuls more than proved the versitility and capibility of the factory ECU.
Can Jan read HEX code? Does he even know what it is? Oh so Mynes took a longer road, that means they are discredited? What cause they havent been on NAM pounding their chests before?
I hear alot of excuses from Jan. "street" car this, blah blah that. This is the same dumb crap I went through with the supra guys. "it's not a street car cuase it doesnt have AC" ok Jan... you know what. If you get owned. Just take it like a man for once. You had your chance to run your race car. Nothing but excuses have been heard about that.

I ask this because I have also heard that you have done something similar to this with a cam as well. Pretty much using someone elses from europe and adding your name and increasing the cost.
Again, it is what I have heard on here. And I figured I would give you the courtesy of asking you directly
yes, I will be at the track. I think it would be an interesting race. but I was wondering more about the part of the post where you were accused of rebadging someone elses computer? Is this true?

So.... thats your response? not very reashuring coming from a vendor. I thought I was asking a legit question.
I ask these questions because I was inquiring about the cam you offered and was told the remarks in which I passed on to you.

Good job with all the BS guys. I'm really losing interest in doing anything to my car. You're acting like a bunch of kindergardners with toys and thats a funny statement coming from me. 
When the trash talking goes to bashing, thats cool. I'll keep my money and find someone else that can help me tune my car. mmmmm, food for thought.

Of course you know this ...... but here will be my last post to you on the subject
I do have custom cams from Newman that are ONLY ground for RMW
I also have their basic cam for sale. If you want information
my phone number is at the bottom of the post
We are working on our ECU but it's not ready for release to the public, and no I'm NOT going to tell you who makes it. If you want info on it... it's not available to anyone outside yet. Do we make some parts in house? Sure.... do I contract professionals to do the work on other products. Of course. Same with Hubie and the rest of the vendors on NAM
Hope you will be at the track to see it first hand... You won't want to miss it

I have an 04 and have had the pleasure of riding in Kalins car. It's a beast. i am very curious to see the outcome of the race.
personally, I like the SC cars better, mostly for the sound they make. but I think that this would be a great drag battle of two different technologys
