You can't compare working on your personal cars/friends cars to turning out several cars a week like a shop would as far as experience goes. They are two different animals IMO. I am not knocking Jeremy's abilities because he seems to be off to a great start, but I wouldn't consider a few months of building cars as a shop owner a proven track record.
Not trying to stir any trouble up, but didn't PF build a motor that spun a bearing on the dyno after only putting 500 miles on the car>? I don't know if this is true, but someone told me this.

This thread got wrecked! Give the man some credit. No one else is trying new stuff like this. He's just trying to save people some money. He woldn't have posted this info on the forums if he couldnt back it up.

YOU DO NOT tell someone to get out of a public thread..
you guys act like little kids.. take your ball and go home when someone doesn't agree with you.
How do you know that GMan's questioning and Jeremy's ability to answer the question and show confidence isn't helping Jeremy's business?

Funny you never stepped in and said that when Julian has told people to not ask legit questions/make comments in any of his threads. Hypocrite FTL

Seems like you know what happened. Care to explain the facts?

I'm suprised that Scott from Relentless Autosports hasn't joined in on the fun. Unless I misunderstood him, he basically says the same thing as Jeremy. On a stock block, it's not necessary to have a RFS, especially if you are running under 400hp.

No one needs to protect Jeremy, his work speaks for itself. You're the one that seems to be taking his comment that stock block motors can run safely without fuel systems as an attack, and in turn are attempting to attack his credibility when it comes to building cars.
What stake do you have in the sales of fuel return systems? I'm interested because you seem to be defending them as if you were making and selling them in your garage.

The fuel delivery is right on, you're going to contest AFR's? Do you even know how fuel pressure effects AFRs? If the car is delivery steady fuel capable of making safe AFR's at the targeted boost level then it is in fact, NOT NEEDED.
Then again, no one ever suggested that a RFS wasn't a good idea if you wanted to ease the tuning process.
Some people here need to look up "required" and "suggested" and reevaluate their own personal meanings of these words.

These people are just nitpicking because they hate being contradicted, and you eat up every bit of it.
