You posted a graph to try and show how smart you are and to have your ego stroked.

Does that change the fact that you did not understand how to read it? he really does like to help people understand.

If you don't understand it I can guarantee you that he would explain it. He is not here to bash people.

Oh really, so now you know my intentions when posting? Good for you, you now have a future reading minds. I'm sure that will take you far in life!

Actually, that thread was to strike up an actual technical conversation on here. In fact, I pm'd Cliffyk (another engineer) to join in as I enjoy discussions related to design.

I know the tunes are different but the smog stations only run the RPM's up to 3k which means it will still pass emissions and it will also drive fine until he can get it tuned. I never said he wouldn't have to get it tuned but it will drive fine and pass emissions.

Stevecooper

what does 3k RPM have to do with anything? are you making this statement based on the RPM that the IMRC's open?

That's the problem (or irritation) with this site. There are only a few technical people in this section. I have read your posts and can tell you're a Type A personality, which is cool but it is normally more aggressive, ego minded and emotional. If you don't think those things apply to you, then I apologize, I could be wrong. Although, I doubt I am. Cliff is a great source on this site, and he's humble and I think a lot of people should take a lesson from him.

Sxynerd

No, it doesn't have anything to do with the IIRC. All California smoged cars are only ran up to 3k. Now, you more technical guys can explain it better i'm sure, but the agressive area of the tune is in the mid to higher RPM's not in the lower end and that is why they will pass emisions.

We each have our own personality, and if we didn't, we wouldn't be ourselves. You can judge me however you choose to, I won't change. But if you think you can read me, you are severely misunderstood.



All I ask is, if you don't have a clue or can't comprehend what's even coming out of YOUR mouth, why even post? All it does is either spread misinformation or make the thread starter even more unsure of a particular situation.

Last thing people coming on here looking for advice want to do is start throwing parts at a car to diagnose, or install worthless mods due to bad advice.

I'm not singling you out from the crowd on purpose, but if you don't understand something, keep it to yourself or ask for help.

BTW, if you knew me personally I am far from ego-minded. I spend HOURS each week helping people locally with their vehicles for zero compensation. And most of these people are not close friends.

Sxynerd

But the problem is I didn't give any misinformation. If you think I didn't clarify myself then you should either tell me you don't understand or help me clarify what you know I really meant.

You know why it's only run up to 3k RPM? The low RPM HC emissions reduction is very important in the tune. We spend a ton of time reducing this is much as possible.
