I just REALLY dislike the way that certain companies (HKS, A**) do business. I wouldn't pay money for an FCON for the non-user-tunable aspect of it alone. Buying an FCON is like signing a contract to that shop for tuning for the life of your car.

spending more money isn't always about bragging rights...it's sometimes about doing things the proper way... sharif does his best to keep his clients safe... he realizes the responsibility that he has to them when they put their car and money into his hands... sure, there's an innate risk in FI, but he's trying to lower that risk as much as possible... there's a big difference between the way you two operate and it's ok... he's conservative and you like pushing the limits... nothing wrong with either stance... i just feel that when it comes to a customer, the latter is not the best bet...

i agree if the whole 30k is just on the Fi engien build part of the setup and not on other parts such as suspension n stuff...
not everyone can be a baller like you man!! 
the people that cant afford the high dollars EM shouldnt feel like their cars arent done properly, just said the utec works just fine . this all started cause someone said that "the utec isnt good over 13 psi like some people have said on here," i said yes it is and all of a sudden i hate FCON...
people have a great way of turning things into things that werent really said...
i wish more people would dwell on the good side of things and see the forward progression we are aiming for. we dont try to put up crazy unbelievable numbers on the dyno, we take it to the track and show people what it will do...

as i stated before, i'm running the UTEC and i'm very happy with it... i'm putting down over 600whp on the DJ and the UTEC is doing fine... i've also heard through the grapevine that TurboXS will be upgrading the UTEC to challenge the FCON... i'm not saying you hate the FCON... i'm just responding to what you're insinuating about sharif's feelings on the UTEC and why he pushes the FCON... i don't think it's fair the way you called him out on something such as that when it has no basis in truth...
and doc, i wish i knew what my car could do on the track...but, again, as i've stated before, i suck at TEH driving... maybe alberto or aj could get some good numbers from it...
