I don't doubt those are the numbers from Gintani's dyno.
I will say that its not uncommon for shops to make "trophy runs". Dyno graphs sell products and adding a few extra degrees of timing right...

Fair enough...But isn't that what the internet is all about ? False assumptions and starting rumors ?

I may be wrong but from how I read the email.
1. The trans was used to develop the clutch pack upgrade for a discounted rate or possibly free.
2. The trans was delivered and there was no progress...

Just imagine how much a can of red bull would really cost if they didn't throw money at every stunt that comes along.

You clamped 8 horns to an ITB vehicle. This appears to be something any competent fab shop could do. Are they larger TB's maybe for some performance gains to offset the damage of unfiltered particles...

How many runs did Fallon get in ?

But this is all stuff we already know. Thats a pretty intimidating letter and must have taken Sam a lot of time and effort to write. :crazy:

So much could be done with that statement alone....:think:

Welcome to the forum and back to March 2012. The failure was shown to be the failure of the HPF spec'd darton sleeves. Thanks for playing though.

Has anyone spoke with Darton yet ? I wonder if they would look at the block and give an explanation.

Looking good !!

Looks like his car is up and running already....Awesome job so far !!

Correct....But who did the actual machine work HPF or Darton ?

So who installed the sleeves ?

That is the best post post I have read to date !!



I agree, that video could have been made much better. They should have know that all eyes would be on them and missed the mark.

Exactly, everyone has failed motors. Its how you make your youtube video that counts. HPF's first video should have been " Sleeved block failed, HPF will seek a better solution" not finger pointing.

Oh no...the fan boyz feathers are getting ruffled. How can anyone take you seriously with your sig pic ? Does Chris give you a monthly stipend to post on the forums and defend them ?
Fact.....Those...

I'm sure they are fine. The only thing damaged (besides motors) is their rep and maybe a few sales.

Oh, and here is something for the fanboyz who seem to have gone quiet. Either they lost communication with their supreme leader or they are actually questioning his flawed diagnosis.

I never got the answer from my first question. Once this is answered all this will be done and over with.
Chris, When your engine builder checked the bores on Marcus's motor what were the readings ?

I sure doubt Sticky created the thread title....He is so impartial with vendors. :think:

So what were the measurements of the bore when your machine shop checked them last week ?

Exactly, It should read HPF finally caught for being full of BS !!

Sounds like the issue may have been discovered. Marcus spill the beans so that the issue can be made public.
