forg0tmypen owns the paypal account. If you didn't receive the test email a few things may have happened.
  • He may have missed some addresses from the payment transactions.
  • The paypal email you use is not an account you check regularly.
  • It went to your spam/junk folder.

So now Katech wont release the data for everyone to know really? I thought this was to benefit everyone grow up people... I guess ill start charging for my R&D when I pull my heads at 20k heads and cam set up...I would like the mods to step in because that's not right for this corvette community to be so immature about benefiting everyone on this topic...might as well lock the thread then....sorry but I have done a lot of info sharing on here on every step of my build an oils and helping people on here make choices and take steps in fixing issues with there vehicles. If this thread is not to help and benefit like it states in the rules then its unfair to all for vendors to hide data to benefit them for there own needs correct. For instance if people call katech for help and ideas on there build they can't help them on what route to take.? And ill be gladly to donate as I donate thousands to Kids born with cancer and United Way...already if its about Money in the long run then shame on us.... God Bless...

So basically this was a group purchase for info that's kept private for their benefit not others...

Katech does not own the data so it is not theirs to release.

Forgotymypen owns the data since he is the one paying for it.

The limited release was to prevent the usual trolls from using Corvette Forum to attack Katech for performing the tests (as has been done in the past), to attack the data, and making general nuisances of themselves (as has been done in the past).

Get rid of the trolls and the haters and you'll see more data shared. I have certainly cut back on my contributions because of them.

Katech is great company hands down I understand what your saying but the fact is that there only conducting the tests if they get attacked by lets say another troll or forum member then the person attacking has an IQ of a snail.

I don't want to see it, and I don't want to be a part of it.

Ill donate no problem hell I would pay for the whole testing and share it since people that donated 50 dollars...are butt hurt now... Lol Trust me my feelings aren't hurt I can run down the street and go to the best can't put there name down because their not a sponser. but when I do my heads and cam pull at 20k with stock pm guides and the rest like ss valves and my heads are fine after that ill share my info and start to tell everyone that you dont have to use bronze guides with ss valves.. and then I will get hammered that im all wrong about PM guides and so on...see where this is going. We need Info not speculation.

But Im all for this I hope in the future we resolve these issues....

When an individual, company, or race team pays us to do testing we provide the data to them. Nobody else. That's proprietary information owned by the paying party. What they do with the data from there is up to them.
