You see all your squiggly lines there?? That tells me that your tune is not spot on either, you still have fuel work to do. How much smoothing did you have the dyno operator put in? If they were peaked you would have timing issues left to deal with, but what you're showing up there is A/F... Your A/F graph is okay but it apparently isn't right for your motor; but then again you seem to know everything so I'm sure you know this as well.
As for the power numbers... I spray more nitrous than that...

No, actually it was more mature than the guy JUST trying to start trouble. I don't need your whipping boy in my face. If you don't want him speaking for you then maybe you should tell him so.

2. I am nobodys "whipping boy". Jesse did not ask me to speak for him, nor did he know I was going to post to that thread. We do not know each other. When I ordered my chip from him, I believe we sent email back and forth 3 times. That is the extent of our friendship. I have free will, and when I see someone start a thread out of what appears to be pure jealousy, I call it like I see it.

You don't get it. I'm not trying to build a copy of SKI's engine, there is nothing to be jealous over. I'm building my 406 my way, on my time/terms. I find it sad that SKI can't even respond because he knows the truth. I'm not going to go on with this forever. He is doing mailorder chips, whatever. Good luck. If he didn't pull out the timeslip (when cornered) then he wouldn't have a response, especially on a technical matter in regards to ecm tuning. 
Have a good life, the end..

I was referring to what appears to be jealousy over Jesse getting ink in a national publication, and making money at tuning. I could be wrong, and I'm sure you will say I am. That's just the way it appears from reading your thread on TGO.
BTW, ski doesn't fool me. If this thread was good for him don't you think he would reply. If I was the tuning GOD then it would be easy to show up some peon running 105mph, in matters of EFI tuning.

KVU, quit acting like a silly crackhead and let this crap go.
It's old.
Who cares. Really. Honestly.
Are you having troubles sleeping at night due to Jesse selling chips?
The more you jabber over here the more you make us 3rdGenners look like dumbasses.
Please stop.

After reading this and the tgo thread I had to buy that issue, I commend the guy for attempting to explain how prom tuning works . I have a feeling most that read that mag will probably be lost after the first couple paragraphs tho, not slamming anyone there but prom tuning isn't all that easy for someone that's never done such a thing or for those that have never done "computer stuff". As for the holy grail of DIY and those that demonize people who make money i'd say get over it. Unless someone is stealing or using copyright knowledge, etc it's all a free game, you have to learn from somewhere and there are still a few around that can be considered "experts" or "pros" that don't ever visit TGO. Everyone tends to forget who wrote all that code that everyone is hacking on. If your going to demonize people who sell chips you better check your own baggage.
