Am I missing something...
Everyone take a step back and notice how ridiculus things get. Who cares what products you use on your truck? Why argue about something so pointless? If you insult the guy that burns my chip, you insult me...blah blah blah.
I prefer Taco Bell. I hate McDonalds. Burger King Rules. Wendy's sucks! Why get emotionally involved about such b.s. concerning an F150? Your "tuner" isn't a loved one...sheesh.

OK, wasn't trying to start a tuner war here.
Everyone is different, to each his own. I don't take things personal here, just stating my opinion and reading everyone else's.
Bill and Don, I was just saying that to ya'll to calm things down here a bit. It's been fun to see everyone at least getting along well at the track. We just all get a little emotional on here..Oh well, we'll all grow up someday..Us boyz and our Toyz...

I'm with RS. We purchase the best products that we can for our trucks. It shouldn't matter if it has PSP, JL, JDM or LFP on it as long as it works for you and you are happy with it.
All the tuners invest many $$$ and many more hours than you will ever know. They are dedicated to making their trucks fast. Consequently, it makes it easier for us to purchase proven combinations that work to make us fast too.
Just look at how many of the these 5000 lb. behemoths are running 11's. Trucks in street trim are regualrly in the 12's. We should be thanking these guys. Just think if the amout of experimentation and $$$ ti would take to do it on your own.
Have you ever been to the street races? Of course, I never have,
, but the racers have raised deception and treachery to a new level. It's all part of the game. I keeps the competition guessing. You don't show your competitor how you make your car or truck run fast. It's up to him to figure it out. That's how you win.

Nice run Jim. Joke'em if the can't take a ........
Merry Christmas.

LightningTuner,
Remember I was at Cecil too.
First thing I do when I get to the track is prepare my truck to race.
The second thing I do is go threw tech.
Third thing I do is check out the track conditions.
If the track is bad I will wait till it gets some heat in it.
If I am in compition and the track is bad I will make the proper adjustments to my truck.
As far as Cecil on Saturday you were only 200's off your best 60ft.
Your best 1.56, Cecil Saturday you were 1.58.
Charlie got two 1.62's
Jim W. got his best at 1.60
Dave L. got his best and I beleave Nuno got his best.
I was consistent 1.54 and 1.55 our best being 1.52.
As far as comments tuner being faster than their customers.
The tuners get to try new things first if I'm not mistaken non of your customers are no were near you.
Oh by the way my 60ft's when I was running 12.40 were 1.74's
Sal, how bout it, Atco is open this weekend !
What do you think, me and you ?

I didn't really think I said anything "offensive" towards you, but since you want to bring it up, fine...
That's right, you WERE there. And that means what? You saw what you saw, and that's it. You have no idea the truth behind what you saw. I made three passes. The first had a 1.68 spinning 60ft and went 11.48 at 119mph. The second had a spinning 1.64 60ft, and the truck continued to spin to the 1/8 where I let of and ran an 11.62 at 45 mph. The third run hooked decent with a 1.58 60ft, and pulled good to the 1/8, then the motor cut out and I saw a puff of smoke when the heads lifted, so I shut it down at the 1000 ft mark and went 11.42 at 112 mph. So I never ran a full pass, which means your posting of everyones time means nothing.
As for your 60fts at 12.40 being 1.74s, that total BS! I've seen two of your timeslips from you running agianst people I know and when you were running 12.40s you were still turning 1.58 60fts. How come your truck is a second faster, with the same 60fts? Your truck gets 2-3 tenths faster at every event, yet you don't tell anyone what you've done to do so. There's only so many times people will believe the "we just made some chip changes" reason.
As for your "challenge", I don't need to play stupid games like that. We've already started to tear down our truck for the winter, and to be sent off for the cage. We'll just have to meet up when the new season starts.

Looks like it will have to be a snowball fight until spring. Unless you all want to come down here to Texas.
They have a spring thing in Colorado called the tomato war (I thnk) between the Coloradian and the Texans. Seems like a good snowball fight between Team JDM and Team PSP is in order.
Keep us posted. Remember putting rocks in the snowballs is illegal.
