Default 400 wheel thread

Before any of you ask. I deleted the the thread the OP asked me to so dont rehash the issue. He apologized and thats that. Julian said that he wasnt cocky and honestly didnt know his true power. He made a mistake it happens. Ive forgiven him now you should. Thank you and Happy Holidays

It is good that the OP had enough class to do what he did. Now let him get a methanol kit, a good tune and whatever hardware necessary from Julian and make the real 450 whp (if he still wants to). That is why I have been saying for a long time, who cares about dyno #'s as long as you're happy with your car?

There was some really good info and pictures in there, not to mention a great lesson for anyone acting like the OP. This is NOT the first thread he had on the subject where he behaved that way, and probably not the last. I feel a disservice was done to the community. Just the entertainment value of this and similar threads is fantastic. I had missed several of the 'classics' and only went back to read them after they were mentioned here. Oh well

A lock would of been a better idea IMO. If the OP wanted to delete his thread you should have told him to go back and edit his ignorant posts. The thread was a great example of how you shouldn't act on the forums. I'm still bitter I didn't get to see what happend after he got to Julians and I'm sure im not the only one : (

OP showed up, landed 351 rwhp on Julian's dyno, thread was subsequently deleted, everyone went home to enjoy the Christmas holiday.

Romey I applaud your attempt at keeping things transparent and let people know what is going but many in here are children and it just generates BS posts, just treat them like kids and not give them choices or opportunities to voice opinions on your decisions
