    When you go to the gas station, and the previous person put 87 octane in their car, that 87 octane stays in the line and is then pumped into your tank of gas. If you do not put much gas in the car, that 87 octane will be a larger portion and effectively reduce the octane value of the gas that you pumped into your tank. Couple that with a bad tank of gas that has been sitting for a month or so, and you've got yourself a high boost tune that's made for 93 octane, when it's seeing something less. Under the wrong circumstances, that could cause a problem. Especially if combined with a clogged cat and heat soak.

    Make sense?

    Also, you making the statements about me is actually subtle name calling and you're right - it is childish and not needed

    It was me that sent you the PM about checkin your cats Bo. I have seen them cause many issues and rob serious power.

    As for Jon Lund well he will easily show up on any forum on the internet as being 1 of the top 5 tuners in the country. He is great at what he does and takes pride in it.

    As for mike I aint a nut hugger and I only talked to him a few times on the phone and bought a set of cobra springs off him but seemed liek a fair anuff guy.

    As for these cars. They for sure have some issues with piston 7 and 8. That is no secrete at all, And seems like issues can come about at any mileage with these cars.

    And one more thing real quick. I think any shop. No matter how great or awesome they are will one day have a car let go on the dyno. I mean you mess around with high hp cars long anuff and thats just life. Doesnt mean its anyones fault even. Its just life with cars that people are trying to push everything they got out of.

    And not everyone on a site will always see eye to eye.Thats why makes life great, everyone is different and has different views. I do however think stuff like this should be kept between the parties involved.

    Read your quote above. You're a smart guy, don't act like a wise guy.

    Stop being a jerk. You got on my case about how my valve guides were the problem and I blew it up. Mike comes out and says that it's no secret that he messed up his diagnosis and that the valve guides were fine, and that my car had a piston problem. I don't know why you won't let that go?

    If you don't want to read it, don't get involved. I don't know how to express that to you other than through writing... which is unfortunate because it sounds like you're not even going to read it lol

    I think it's remarkable that I'm now public enemy #1 to everyone that loves Mike. Read this again. This is the problem I have with him, as he would never even consider the possibility of admitting that he was wrong to me, or even consider refunding me the money he charged me to tell me the wrong problem. He had no problem telling me to order new 4 valve heads from Ford before he could do the work, which would have put me out $3500. I do not think that is being a responsible person that is looking out for his customers best interests. Your mileage may vary.

    Also note that I never gave Mike a time or money limit on his diagnosis, just simply asked that he call me before he does anything additionally other than he outlined. Just because he needs to pull the head to see a melted piston, doesn't mean that anybody else who is familiar with engine diagnosis doesn't need to do that. It sure makes for a profitable way to troubleshoot though

    Bo,

    Play the he said she said card all you want, all you are doing is making your self look like an even bigger fool then you already are. Just like your fellow Steel City Terminette Ryan, you don't have a leg to stand on! I don't lie about anything, I don't need to as I am quite comfortable in my skin and with who I am as business professional. The time for manning up and allowing me to better educate you so that you could understand and deal with the issues you were having went out the door when you chose to continue playing little internet games and refused to come see me in person. Your a spoiled little brat who had trouble with his car and handled the situation as poorly as you possibly could, your full of excuses and full of sh$t.

    I apologize if I have offended anyone or if anyone feels I have been unprofessional in any way. I started this shop with nothing more then an idea and have worked very hard to earn the reputation that we have. Judging by the overwhelming support I receive from both friends and customers on here, it's pretty obvious that people see these situations for what they are. When you work on as many cars as I do, you are bound to run into an idiot here and there. Oh well, what can you do? You cant make everyone happy and I don't have the time to chase everyone around and make them feel special

    Sorry that you can't treat me like a blank check anymore. I did handle it in a poor fashion, I trusted you.
