nah... i dont not believe that Sharif or his customer are trying to be decieving... I think that they are being as honest as they possibly can.

The only thing I dont have faith in is a non-SAE correction factor.

So lets give them a break and see what happens when they finally get to the dynojet. Give them credit... they did try today.

Well, let's do a pool for fun then. I'll say 278 on the Dynojet (revised from my earlier 291 guess before).

1. t_Zon - 278whp
2.

Alberto,
Does this mean you get to kick THEM in the nuts? I dont get it, the dyno was aborted cause of a nail in the tire, yet he was racing Shariff from a light on the way from the dyno?(with the same nail still in the tire..)

First, it was a BOLT..not a nail. Second, the tire wasnt flat, but there was no way the dyno operator would let us run up to 120mph+ on his dyno with that thing lodged in the tire.

Second, we werent racing...are you kidding. We pulled up at a light, and Chad said...lemme see your car run. At that point, I proceeded to snap the axle.

So many skeptics...sheesh...you'd think I had like 3 posts to my name.

What amazes me more is the fact that you got no traction on the dyno, yet enough traction on the street to snap a Level 2 Axle.. You act like I got 3 posts to my name...Sheesh..

My tire was bouncing/spinning/grabbing on the rough pavement..I think that finally did it. The damage to the axles occured over a VERY long time...you can tell by the way the metal sheared away. Today's event was the final straw.

I am going to stop responding now, to the various speculation...etc...its a waste of my time.

I think it is fair enough to say that both Sharif and CP Racing have proven themselves NUMEROUS times on this forum. They are arguably some of the best Z tuners in the East. So I dont think that their commenting is going to have any adverse effects on them!

what I am saying is that is getting a little personal in here and when you represent a business, this should not happen

The Sharif bashing is pretty SAD! Anyone who has worked with him or ever spoken to him, knows he is a honest man and very knowledgeable. I feel sorry for those who are back door accusing him of anything improper.
