yeah traction is crazy with these cars, I think R888's are in order nailing it in 3rd and all I hear are tires screeching well plus the open dumps, reason I stopped going for more power it is useless

On anything other than dry asphalt, they are not so good. They slip easily in the rain (and on the dyno). When it rained at Sebring my rear end came out on my twice, and I was going probably half the speed I was running when it was dry. Nonetheless, before the rain, the car handled phenomilly. It was very fun to see the stock 911s fade from view in my rear view mirror.

Are you going to the NASA event at Homestead in December? If so, we should hang out. I met Mario and Manny at Sebring. Really nice guys. I think Roger said he was going to Homestead as well.
Edit: I'm spacing, I actually met Mario before that too at the shop.

I appreciate you trying to give your pulls @ 14psi away to me but albeit- I'm very dissatisfied with the service and the quality of my tune at japtrix, I'm not 100% sure that what i've got going on with my car right now is completely the tunes fault.
Incredibly nice of you to offer, and would LOVE to make the trip up there before jtibbs leaves... but I think there is a little more going on than just a lazy tune job.

mustang dynos are the easiest to manipulate. Everyone knows that. Dynojets have no corrections to put in. That's why I would offer a free pull or two to him for comparison. No I'm not kidding captj. He is claiming 600 on 14 psi. That car would barely make 550 on a true Dynojet at that boost levels.

Captj...I think I remember meeting you from one of your visits up to PF where you had JT do some work on your car. It was when all our cars were covered with lovebugs from the drive. I read alot of these threads and why are you on such a JT hater wagon. Do you have some financial interest in Japtrix? You seemed like a cool guy when I met you up there, what has made you change?

996's or 997's either way, you should be able to pull from stage 2 911s with that kind of power. My 413 rwhp B5 S4 pulled from those things all day. Theres a few custom tuned s4's that beat stage 3 996's.
Congrats on your build, did you ever post any pics, or vids

I ask questions based on my own perception of what I read. JT and I talk all the time and I don't ever recall a time that he slammed Japtrix. Sure he may not like them, for whatever his reasons may be, but I've never heard him bad mouth them.
If we didn't meet at his shop, then where was it?

Gus...I remember you and I talking about me financially helping PF out from a business stand point, but I don't remember anything about him slamming japtrix. I think you and I both agreed its a tough business and thats why you were not involved with japtrix any longer. If I'm mistaken PM me.

captj, my favorite misinformed person on the forums. I have never said a bad word about japtrix. I have sent a few people back to receive refunds for the "tune" they received from jack. I have never seen anything bad that japtrix has done at all. As long a roger is tuning then the people have nothing to worry about. The cars that jack "tuned" were set up as naturally aspirated cars and I can't believe they even ran at all. Gus is a cool guy and I have talked to roger and have no issues other than same state rivalry.

in it I'm attacking you? You give that impression to me all the time, just look at your moving thread. You weren't mentioned in my post and got all bent out of shape.

I am waiting to post pics until the bodywork is done. I have a new rear bumpter going on after Japtrix finishes my latest round of upgrades. I'm hoping to be able to get it back to the body shop in the next week or so. Roger is crazy busy right now, so it may take a little longer, but hopefully not.
