He repeatedly made incorrect statements on here so I corrected him. He didn't like that.

No big deal putting a system on the car. Pin the crank is a pain in the azz. But get this guy to put the system on the car then just leave your stock inj,s in your car stay out of boost find a good tuner have them put your bigger inj's in the car and get it tune. Maybe this guy will do all minus the tune for even less.

Ask him befor you say anything to him what he chg's for a tune, then tell him you will pay him the 6,k minus the cost of a tune on your car.

He was mainly "butthurt" because he was banned for being an idiot and he thought I got him banned. I do not have any more authority to have someone banned then anyone else, nor did I try.

He never purchased as much as a spark plug from us.

You and I both.

Born supercharged aka Born stupid
Thomas (IIRC)..... from the Dallas area
He's a young, computer nerd / keyboard warrior that knows very little about cars and liked to step in the forums acting like he knew more than the folks that knew better. When anyone disagreed with him, he added them to his list. Huge baby with a huge mental disorder. He spent countless amounts of money turning his car into something that many had a hard time looking at and bragging about sub-par results with it. The last thing I heard about him was an email that he sent to a local shop that he consistently threw under the bus, where he was begging them to buy his car because he was broke and his wife was threatening to divorce him over it.
Par for the course IMO.

Who is this FSP people?

Although working next to Doug was sometimes an adventure, he was completely right with this little kid that just wanted to stir the pot when no one listened. Love you Doug!
