Well you are in for a big surprise my friend.

And you talk about standalones, you have no idea what you are talking about AGAIN.... We never used a standalone on a supercharged MINI. Only big horsepower turbo MINI's. Even your MINI God using a standalone on his TVS MINI, so Jan can do it, but we can't huh? NAM if we do, and NAM if we don't, I see how that goes. And about these dyno numbers, again not going to try to explain something to someone that doesn't understand about different dynos and how torque relates to horsepower, it's like talking to a tree and only reacts when the wind blows. You would never get it, because you don't want to get it. Plain and simple. All this torque and horsepower numbers will be proven at the track. Matter of fact it's been proven all ready with Bob Scheer's car, spinning tires all over the track and still ran 2.00 flat at buttonwillow with a "Mynes tuned...is yours?" Until you guys beat that, then you can talk all the smack you want. Until then, it's all talk. I can see it now, you are getting mad now and another silly post is coming up soon from one of you.

The reason I post into this thread again, because of personal attacks with mynes name in the thread again we must be a huge threat to you guys. If you make good products and making alot of power than us, then what's the problem then? Why not just leave it alone and finish what the thread was originally and leave MYNES out of it and you won't see me here. But, if you want to continue this stuff, be my guest, just don't get upset when you slap someone and you get slapped right back. I know you guys are use to doing this stuff to other vendors for years in the past and got away with it. It's not going to happen here with mynes. , you are free to come in and post and I think that is fair.

So boys are we finally done with this s^%t or what?

Super J,

Like I said before, Jan isn't posting in any of your threads at all. He isn't making snide remarks like the one's your making above. Look at "your Mini God" statement . Come on super J. I can go back in the Mynes post's and pull comment after comment by yourself or Mike making direct or indirect shots at Jan, his tunes and his products . This has been your guy's M/O since the day you joined NAM. Good on Jan for speaking up in this thread.

You asked me not to post in your threads but here you are again right after your PM going crazy again. Most of the guys on NAM are not the Hot Import Nights guys your used to. Did this kind of crazy marketing work in the import world?

The people you keep fighting with are not RMW employees J they are NAM members. Why do you keep calling them out and making the "we must be a huge threat to you guys comment?? Stop with the you guys comments already. Jan is a one man band.

Sound like "your" a little insecure for some reason . You and Mike need to try really hard to just act professional, stop attacking NAM members, stop talking smack about me and lastly stop attacking Jan in every thread you can.

Longboard

You say different what exactly does that mean?

Because all I see is the same Go Fast and Handle Quick antics every car make performance shop does just on a different vehicle.

So what is he doing totally different that we don't know about.....ohhhh has he managed to put an LS1 in a MINI.... how sterotypical of anything DIFFERENT.

Successful LS1 swapped vehicles and owners claiming to be different along with some many others with the same swap
240sx
Supra
skyline GT-R
S2000
Evo 8&9
BMW E30, E36, E46 3-series and M3
Volvo 740 wagon
civic
mustang
there are more I just can't keep track of all those people being DIFFERENT

Finally it was time to put it to the real test, the Butt Dyno! So I jumped in and let 'er rip. After finally getting the tires to hook up I was thrown back in my seat and held on for the rid of my life. The power started low in the rpms and went all the way to 7200! Now I have the addiction and will not be able to stop! And I thought bolt ons were good enough, boy was I wrong.



As you can see from the Graph I started around 210/191 and went to 219/199! Now if only I would not have run out of fuel I know those numbers would have been higher. Guess I will get the bigger injectors ordered.

I am totally amazed what Jan was able to do with my car, no hype no lies just pure unadulterated power gains!!!

Thanks goes out to Jan and all those who pushed me in his direction.

Hey, I didn't get a tee shirt with my tune.....
