Anyway, if you think it is worth to make contribution, then do it. Here is a place for free speach. I just express my feeling about how ridiculous to do such thing.
Peace.

Yes, no one ask me to join the party, however if I know my neighbor going wild in their party, should I call for cops? I never know MSFITOY, never meet him in person, but after I read the post, it doesn't make any sense. I don't want any one in getting hurt.

New and different ideas attract skeptism. But, I'm an optimist. New and different turns me on. Keep on your original track, chase down your ideas...get comfortable not following, but leading. It's scary, sure! But you guys have friends behind you, not to worry.

Oh, and I'm sending in $20.00. jlm said drink beer at some point in the testing procedure. I don't think we covered the beer???

I know Sid personally and I can't remain silent any longer. His ruse the entire time while he was pouring money into MISFIT has been leading up to this...the ultimate payoff:


He is going to use all the money for a down payment on a Saturn.

So... will that 'intake' have a 61, 62 or 63mm I/D throat? And will it be connected to a silicone 'intake' tube? Less turbulence?

I don't know about JS's throat diameter but I'm guessing mines slightly less than that My poison of choice usually consists of higher octane taken at a sipping rate. With beer, I'll have to pretend that I have a supercharger and chug...don't ask me to run on the roller either LOL...

Don't know.... When I called the cops last time did they show up and tell me to get a grip? Is anyone else in the neigborhood on thier porches looking pissed? Or are they all at the party drinking and dancing...... If that were the case, maybe I'd think that I was being a little sensative, or just wrong. Maybe I'd go to the party and hang with my friends and neighbors....

Um, thanks Dad. I won't run with pencils in my hands either. But what on earth has lead you to the assumption (yes, ASSUMPTION) that this is a dishonest scam. There's no coersion, purely volentary. Why not take it as face value?

OK, at least ONE of your sentances had some usefull content!

Rediculous for a group of people who share a common goal to pool resources to achieve the goal? Well, so much for the underpinnings of society!

A place called Performance Fabrication Engineering near Mount Clemens, MI. They specialize in custom header/exhaust design/fab but can probably do much much more considering the in house 1000hp Mustang dyno...same place where I had my "stupid" DTM tip made up LOL. I plan on having them completely rebuild my Borla with 2.75" mandrel SS pipes later this year:smile:

2700 posts huh? I have nightmares of being called into the HR office and asked about my 2700 posts I work on CAD all day long and they are often slow or crashes so I go to the "other" window:smile:

I didn't say that. You are the one calling him.

From my firsts post, I said it may be a scam, but finally I found out it isn't. I never made an assumption.
I don't know why there are people still try to making noise like this?! There is no contribution to this thread, and more sounds like a personal attack.

Sometimes it is better to be sensitive rather than less sensitive. It is better to not let something happen rather than fixed it after it already happened. Did you treat your car like that?!

That's enough, I think there is no meaning to attack my post any more.

Both names sounds Russian, because my wife like Russian the athlete (Alexandra Popov). That's why we name our cars to be Popov and Popova.

No...still where we were at last Friday. JC is checking into dyno access/day/time/vacation availability for us two and we're waiting for test equipements/parts from a few people. We're hoping within the next two weeks. The dyno operator has family health issues and JC is following up. Also, people are hard to find this week due to upcoming Dream Cruise this coming Sunday. I appologise if this seems like a long wait and I know everyone is very eager to get to the results. We'll do our best to speed things up:smile:

For those of you who have contributed, we thank you and have all the information necessary to get the information back to you via email attachements. If, God forbid, something prevents us from following through with this test, I will make sure everyone gets their money back.

For those of you waiting for my PM to follow through, I appologise for changing plans due the number of people involved. Please simply send $10 to schiangjett@aol.com and you're in. We nearly have enough to cover two hours of dyno time. Onasled has offered to lend us his ingenious intercooler fan gizmo. We would like to be able to return and repay his shipping charges for this monster so every penny will help.

Thanks again,
Sid
