Dyno dan is no longer tunning cars so
I will just have to sell my sct xcal on ebay , don't want to get DIABLO SPORT PREDATOR but now I will have to as NRP don't support sct.
I was thinking about getting sct pro racer to tune it my self and
though I might get help with learning how to tune from somebody but I was wrong. I just miss understood . Suresh
I offered because you were going to sell it on ebay.
I don't know if you're intentionally trying to make me feel bad or something, but I'm definitely taking it that way.
I don't mind helping out alittle here and there but only if it doesn't affect my other business that's paying for my work.
With all due respect,
I didn't know offering alittle bit of free advice here and there has made me obligated to help anyone on a full time basis. You seem like a smart guy, you can definitely learn to tune yourself, however my offers to help you wasn't to teach you. Just like any College student knows, education isn't free, and what I've learned over the years definitely isn't for sale for a couple hundred bucks especially since everyone thinks it's ONLY about the "money" and the $$$ you have under the hood. I definitely believe that I've proven that.
Just like having Tools doesn't make you any more of a mechanic. Having a welder doesn't make you a fabricator,
money definitely doesn't make you smarter. It just allows you to "be able" to make more mistakes on the way to do whatever you're going to do.
I'm sure that any shop that's ever built anything serious can vouch that it's more than the $$$ under the hood and it will be a rude awakening to anyone that thinks that. I have a saying and it goes: "It's more than the ingredients, it's the Chef behind the dish..." That's what all the big performance shop owners really are, chefs. Every chef can have the same ingredients, tomato sauce, dough, toppings, and everyone's pizza will taste different. There's over a dozen ways to cook steak, all tasting different and appealing to certain individuals moreso than others. What's the difference between a Chef and a cook? A chef can make up a dish using raw materials using ingenuity, while a cook has to be shown a specific way and after they're shown, they only know that way.
Most guys that build cars are cooks. They open up a magazine, or go onto a forum and reads what someone has that has made decent power and copies it.
Just like any chef that creates a dish that's appealing to the palate, they like to be compensated for it.
Not to sound like an ass, but just like NRP, LEP, Silver State and any other shop that does this for a living. We can't all just do this for Pizza and alittle cash. Otherwise none of us will remain in business. Husic and Art both have different careers and can offer help on more of a readily basis. I can't do that, and if that makes me the enemy then so be it.
Nobody was around holding my head above water when I was learning how to swim through this mess, and the ones that did help, didn't have a "free" for a price tag.
I'm not cheap but I'm not the most expensive either. I don't have a nice shop like NRP, Silver State or LEP, I rent out a little corner in my fabricator's shop.
But people still come to me, why? Because I am honest, and I do honest work. If I can help you when I can I will do it. People that hate on me or envy me may say different, but my repeat customers that's came back to me over and over again for the last 3 years will definitely vouch for me.
You got PM
