he doesnt even have an extreme version of the aps kit......and the enigne....does he does not have an fcon..... the made up parts list reminds me of what mr( #145 in the coinvag thread on AG section) tried to pull


i mean what kind of a tool trailers his car to a local meet i dont think his 900whp can even touch r0mes or dougs 350whp low boost

 

+1

We already know that the highest an APS Extreme kit is known to have gone is 855whp with GTM's car and that was with a 4.2L stroker.

 

Took me a second to go check that in the C-A-V thread, but yes, this is that same sort of lying. Also, since he doesn't have anything listed about upgraded headstuds on his list, he is also like #145 in the respect that they both "made" crazy power on OEM head studs.

 

Parts list says GT30R turbos.. Who the hell knows with all his BS claims.

 

Someone should meet him out in the desert for flame wars!!! Fail!

 

since by now its ovbious that you are a victim of the lies of the owner... i think its the right thing if you make a lil note of that in the next article

 

 

If thats the car, the last dyno sheet I saw was at HIN D.C. last year where he had a sheet (where you could barely see it or read it) and it was claimed around the 600whp mark. A few of us even questioned that dyno sheet as he won high HP over Bam Bam in that show and we KNOW what his numbers are.

 

check my post#122 again i made it linkable


trust me he doesnt have extreme aps kit... i know this from a very reputable source

 

Dont make me have to change my sig again


+10000000

Well I am about to email the editor about putting my car in his magazine...and the proof of my whp is my sig.

 

if the owner can not prove the hp #,then why would you print it?it's not like it was a 1/4 page blurb on some readers ride,it was a feature car.you owe it to your suscribers to get the facts straight.....that is you job after all.

 

And it's a damn shame.

 

their whole reason for existing is to take a picture and print the details,if they can't get that right then it is very sad indeed. b.s. like this only hurts circulation.imo it can only be one of two things,lazyness or incompetence...either way it fails.btwy i was looking at that intake and it does not look very custom,wouldn't someone involved with the community also notice and sound the b.s. alarm?

 

XKR sets the bar with the JWT kit!!!! Nice Sig!!!

 

And this is the main reason I do not buy car mags...unless I see a car that belongs to one of the members on here that I know.


Thanks man....but I have to give all the credit to Sharif...the man got skills.

 

Can I quote you on that?

 

 

Agreed x 1000000

As mentioned above, I believe it has more to do with greed then anything else.

Big numbers(hp) make, well, Big numbers(sales)..

 

I think this was bad reporting on the job of the magazine. With so few 985 whp vq's out there, PAS knew exactly what they were doing by putting that number in the article. 600whp vq's are frequent here now. I feel as though a quality mag should verify such inflated horsepower claims instead of 'quoting the owner'. For that reason I cant say I would pick up another PAS magazine again. Anyone can report bogus numbers or say they have authentic parts which might be replicas for the sake of getting into a magazine. All quality magazines should be held to a certain standard. Investigating the claims of car owners looking for magazine exposure should be paramount. Once you lose your credibilty to put out accurate info, it's hard to get back. Actually it's darn-near impossible. This is my honest opinion and i'm entitled to it on this forum.
