    All I know is that I am running at TRM tune and they are in the same state that I reside...I am going to play dumb on this....Wait, I am actually dumb on this and have no idea who these people are...Internet trolling/joking/lying aside, are they competent at tuning cars?

    All the rest is just noise....Like cable news...

    Rk and mike(trm) got in an argument that mike never did anything over something like 700whp.

    Mike posted a supra dyno and claimed it was an m50 he tuned. He also claimed it had his pistons in it...

    There isnt any trolling or joking.

    its mikes profile on facebook.. So either mile got "hacked" or he posted this. He even defended it saying he had an nda with the customer and the car had been together for years and he even retimed the cams a few times trying to maximize it... normal mike style posts.

    Seems like most of the subforums here have slowed down, I blame that on Panjo being introduced.

    Only good part of FB groups is idiots buying deent parts for their super sick build then quitting and selling new parts cheap.

    Other than that its mostly BS and hacked together builds.

    Dam this crap gets around. I heard this the other night. But, I'm not on any type of social media at all. I value my marriage and feel that crap is a recipe for disaster. Simple enough. I feel a little behind the times tho. But, I think there are others like my self. I don't think MilkT, Pbonsalb and select others join into that crap.
    I wouldn't read into that too much. Mike from TRM knows his stuff, pioneer for TS tuning and one of the top 3 stock DME tuners in the nation IMO.

    This type of BS is why the BFC legends don't come to the playground no more. Nick along with others don't get involved.
    I hope what seems to be a single silly harmless, playful post doesn't become what they are remembered for. Years and years of proper running FI and track BMW's shouldn't be judged on a post on FB.

    I dont buy the direct relation, im at 35psi with a 6870 ~1000whp with no issues in 10k miles.



    Just like your 1000whp BS claim??you also talk too much here and not showing a dyno-sheet,you are the last person to speak about dyno numbers.

    Someone here said(fanboy 328ifun) you are a reputable ""tuner"",show us atleast 5 BMW,s with your tune and offcourse some dyno,s with it

    Wow, I walked into this thread out of curiosity and realized I posted early in that original Facebook thread, "Supra?" as a joke... had no idea it actually was a Supra dyno. SMH.

    I would have expected this from maybe a younger unknown character from romraider or something . must be more to the story. I've said a many things that were for inside crew to understand , not only in sarcastic ways. But read by others on the outside could have been taken as claims. Must be more to this.
