Since we are quoting Steve Weiner we need to have the whole story not just selected parts of it. And the rest of the story...
Quote from Steve Weiner
"Brother" Loren:
LOL,...I'm not about to rehash the performance chip issue; I know what I've seen first-hand on our engine dyno over the past 22 years,...
I'd only offer that its incongruous to lump each and every person who has the capability to alter OEM software for some performance gains. Clearly, some companies/personnel are better at this than others and some are simply irresponsible about what they do. Stating that this applies to ALL persons involved in the performance software business is wholly incorrect.
IMHO, its akin to making a blanket statement that ALL people are thieves and liars (notice I did NOT say; politicians).
Each & every individual and enterprise engaged in this business's skill and knowledge must be judged on their own merits and long-term results.
I'd kindly suggest that perhaps you should take a bit of time to watch first-hand what these people do before stating that people in this industry are incompetant and will cause internal engine damage. Perhaps after doing just that, your observations/opinions would have more merit,.....
Well said Steve. There is great respect for the people who have contributed to the thread this quote came from. Namely, Ralph, Henry, Steve W and Steve Weiner who know what works. As with most things it's the entire package and how that performs. Pretty much said by all above which includes proper selection of the PC's,size, comression ratio, number of spark plugs(single or dual plug) and fuel/engine management (tuned chip) to extract the best performance. We are talking Motronic engine with this thread. The other thread has been a great learning experience for all participating. If you haven't read it, it is full of information.
