If your conscience is really bothering you, have you considered reporting this to your local District Attorney? Warning people on the forums is nice... but the Internet makes it easy to be libelous.

Due to your participation in the crime you describe you might want to consult a lawyer first I also wonder if you might have some protection from California's Whistleblower Laws.

It sure sounds like you were in a bad workplace... very depressing. I hope you next job treats you well.

Maybe some of these customers can chime in.

Agreed...

But I had my doubts & suspicions about VRT's business ethics/truthfullness back when they were claiming 800whp without a return fuel system and without a standalone EMU like the F-Con.

well they don't have to have the FCON... they could probably get away with a very good piggy back ecu on the dyno..but the SS box aint that good of a piggy back anyways

...but i mean... their fuel thing is overrated even if you mess with the electric harness of injectors, fuel pressure...etc etc... i mean....i always dispute their dyno numbers... they use a dynapack so that might be part of the story there....if they really have a propietary twin system that they jsut install in their shop then id believe it...

but... again... bottom line is about having their customer happy and not raping it with prices like they are. etc etc

True. I'm just saying that VRT's outrageous performance claims were a warning sign for me and I think that such behavior is indicative that the rest of their business practices may not be above board either.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not aware of any claimed 800whp "daily driven" VRT car being independently tested or dynoed.

Bottom line: If they are lying their asses off about making 800whp cars, what makes you think they are going to be honest in anything else they do?

well mr a said that he dynojet a few of his cars afterthey left the shop and numbers were almost same... but no dyno sheets to prove it =] Alberto has been askign for this for a while and none were shown

i mean maybe it does make that power on that DYNO...it wouldnt be lying if they clearly showed to people that their dyno reads high, no shame in that... for tunning purpuses its a valid dyno
