No, I didnt take it the wrong way. Quite frankly Im not big into low ETs as bragging rights as much as going fast as possible by using brain cells instead of a check book. Im more impressed with something that runs 12s that the owner did with some ingenuity rather than something that runs 9s but has a 100k in it.
You brought up the fact that I "only barely manage high 11s" not me. If thats not an attemp at implying I dont know how to go any faster (traslation> doesnt have a clue) then I dunno what is.
You also have to remember I have spent a ton of money in my truck but it's also a test bed for the products I sell. I have gone through endless combo's trying to get to the point I'm at and it's expensive but now with it paying for itself it's worth it. bc I like to test things out before I sell them.
Thats nice you can spend that money but does NOT give you the right to call something that you dont want marketed "garbage, pipe dreams, or fraudulent". Those are your words not mine. Id be more than happy to copy/paste your post from the syty board to refresh your memory in case you dont recall those statements.
What that has to do with you is that I know you havent been putting the time and resources into the sy the you would like to bc we both know you will have a pretty fast truck one day.[
You are correct that I haven been putting the resources I would like into my truck as of late due to being on strike last year for 6 weeks, "restoring" the tow vehicle, engagement, etc but on the other hand last I checked my internet connection was working the entire time. Ive watched you along with other ppl and seen whats been going on.
I don't consider what I'm doin "bashing". I am trying to help the syty world not slip into another dustan, RR , or PEP situation. and with the money involved it has that possibity and more.
No you are dead wrong on that. I dont know how else to spell it out for you except for when you call something a "pipe dream, garbage, or fraudulent"
that is bashing. You cant sit there and tell me that you couldnt come up with a better way to request info about a part then to call it what I mentioned above. On top of that the
only time I see you jumping on someone is when they are making parts for 700s or are trying to put out info so someone can possibly build their own for a decent price.
Its a simple formula really that helps anyone with two brain cells thats been around syty land for more than 3 or 4 years come to a conclusion. Lets take a look at it shall we?
J Waller makes money building and/or selling parts for 700s+anyone else who builds, posts info, or makes parts for 700s that J Waller doesnt sell= J Waller posting negatively slanted or down right nasty comments about it. Hmmm, even I can figure that one out and Im not the type to keep my mouth shut about it here or anywhere else.
You forget that
I happen to know a thing or two about how the whole syty transmission deal
used to work. It doesnt work like that as well anymore since a few syty ppl have figured out that the 700 isnt some magical box full of parts that only a select few can mess with.
I do care if the parts are good. and unlike some ppl I would like it if they were tested and proven before being sold to the public. [/B]
I care also in a BIG way but did you talk about the 9/11 TC when it came out like you have these other ppl/issues that just happen to be affiliated with the 700 trans? What about the Ultimate chip? Did you call it "garbage, pipe dream, or "a way to defraud the community of money"? I dont recall a peep from you when those parts were "untested". Kinda makes me wonder why all the fuss out of you over some transmission parts though.
Lastly, yeah I'll prolly have a truck that might go ten teens on a good day while still being AWD/stock block and that prolly wont be "fast" by the time I do it but I can promise you I will have done 99% of the work myself and had a HUGE amount of fun doing it.
Like I said...Have a nice day
