Really? You think it will actually be done in the next handful of months? That is truly awesome, and please keep us updated! Lord knows I could use it.

I think the biggest problem is that you can't hear or see body language when you post something online
I'm glad this wasn't what it looked like, but now more than ever I'm sure you know how it could be seen
Let us chalk this up as a lesson learned, and in the future even with the telling "lol" added to a sarcastic post, let's make a point to give credit where credit is due?

If I told you that I received at least 20 emails from other people telling me about your thread, what would you think of that? Seems to me I was not the only one who had the same thoughts. Heck, I would even know about this club if it wasn't for all these people!

So... at least 20 or more other people saw the same things that I did... someone wanting to take credit for words not his. Of course I would be annoyed as hell, wouldn't you? Whether you share the info or not is not the issue. Falsely saying it is your work is not the cool part.

Now if you say you weren't, I suppose myself and many other people were wrong about you. I'll stay neutral and not further this line of conversation.

However, I will challenge anyone that wants to claim credit for the work of myself and any of the other fine tuners who DID participate to make this available to you all. Our combined thousands of hours of tuning, testing, thousands of dollars of fuel and constant risk of being captured and fined for speeding over the last 3-4 years all for the purpose of sharing this info is not not anything to take lightly.

About the learning from someone else, I have a comment. We all learn something from someone else, but I did not see anyone ANYWHERE take this info, take it to the next level and then assemble this into one cohesive source of tuning info for the masses. What someone taught me, I used and tested and then took to the next level. I tested and for almost 2 years spent on average $200 in fuel PER WEEKEND to make sure over and over it did just like I wrote it.

I am sure that if you had as much invested in this as I did, that you would feel the same.

I've been mostly out of the tuning game for the last 6-8 months because of work and what not, but I am not gone, and I have at least one more huge project to delver to this community (the project we speak of here) before I say good-bye, and no one is paying my time or fuel (thats near $1.50/litre here in Quebec...or around $6.75US/gallon). I sure as heck am not doing it for the fame (I don't go around saying look at me, I am the one who wrote this... my name is not even at the top of the credits in my own works!). The 3800 community is slowly dying as it is a car that is no longer being produced... so why did I do it? Because I wanted to give back something to the community. Because I like doing it.

There is more to come... and as spare moments in time present themselves, I will be adding to this project and I *will* make it freely available to all.

Of course I cannot promise a timeline, but let's say that I have a project that I am on the verge of deciding to start and the HPT tuning info site will be a huge part of it.

- Try a lower grade of octane (when possible, not everyone has cold winters and can get away with this one). I run 87 in the winter and summer safely enough.


Is this true?!?!!

Jerry has an Intercooler on his car. It is true that you can get better HP numbers from lower octane ONLY if you are safe to run it.

Meaning that if your car is tuned for 87 octane whether it's a honda or your GT, you aren't going to get any gains at all going to 93.

I absolutely LOVE how the hardcore "hyper-milers" (not this article) will SWEAR up and down that the cruise control is the best thing since sliced and buttered bread. Morons...

lol yeah i can tell how the cruise control would give you worse gas miliage just by paying attention on how it operates at times.But then again it's not ment for fuel milage.

Agreed. They obviouslly haven't had cruise on going through southern Missouri or in Arkansas....hills + cruise is a joke.
