R50/53 Owner satisfaction posts for mods and parts
Owner satisfaction posts for mods and parts
I ride bikes and play guitar on the web sites for bikes and guitars there is a section where things are evaluated by "users" for satisfaction etc. Why can't we do that here?
We have a review section where you can cast a vote and share your feelings about certain parts and services from vendors....check out the menu to the left. Is that the kind of thing you are thinking about?

what I am talking about is for example
under "heads"... The vendors would be listed...price...features....claimed hp gains.....large valves Y/N.......owner comments.......vendor comments...link to the MFG site.
So If you wanted to buy an intake for example. You go to this section and see all the offerings and comparative data....prices.....claims.....Dyno ? rebutals etc. There is a site called Harmonycentral.com another called weightweenies.com....MTBR.com.
I know this is a lot but something like this would valuable and give us end users a good starting point and not just who posts the most. For example..I know almost nothing of BMP products.

I still think the review section is close to what you are talking about minus dynos. Below is an example of the intake example you used. It gives price, Description of part, expected gains (no dyno...but numbers), and the review/reccomendations from those who use it. So really what its missing is a dyno sheet....but how helpful would that be? There is no possible way for all the tuners to get on the same dyno, and so far no one is willing to buy ALL available parts and try them each out on separate cars. Not to mention you would need dynos for slightly modified cars, modified cars, and highly modified cars to get an accurate idea of what it would offer your specific car. So in the end....a database of ACCURATELY descriptive dynos would be rather tough.
