98 Turbo Tiburon
i live by "every little bit counts" im sure i gained nothing with that move, but every 100 lbs is about a 10th of a second or so and if i get a tenth knocked off when i go to the strip i will be happy, im jsut that kinda guy, no subs or anyhting, the only thing really showy on my car is my wing and taillights probably...
i feel like im just straight up gettting hated on in this forum, seriously... i came to this forum (finally after like 3 years of having my car) only to be ridiculed and not jsut by one single person

LOL, bro we are not hating on you or ridiculing you.
You signed up and started asking questions. Some of your questions did not make sense to some of us experienced members, so we thought we'd correct you smile.gif
You also posted pictures of your car. Once you do that, your going to get a lot of questions and comments fired your way. Some good some bad. Some people might not share your tastes or opinion.
You also stated that you can 'smoke' your pull car lengths on your srt4 buddy with only an safc2 UNTUNED running 12psi. There is no way you would have a 250% power increase running untuned 12psi. Either the srt4 guy is giving you a break, can't drive, or he has some kind of mechanical problem.
I've seen many setups through out my years and your setup is not 300whp. Sorry man. A lot of members here will agree. Maybe we are getting your facts confused, or your getting yours.
Also please use some punctuation and sentence structures when posting. I can't make out shit that you type. If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?
On a side note,
I like your setup for what I see, some parts of it I'd do different, and your car looks good.
Welcome to the site, stay here a while and you'll learn tons smile.gif

Also, we don't tolerate street racing here. smile.gif I'm not implying anything, I just thought I'd let you know.
I don't see how 230whp beats 300whp. Oh well.
Take some recent pics, give us a complete detailed list of mods than I will let you know from there smile.gif

Feel free to post sound clips, small bits of video with non excessive acceleration (ex. not above 100mph), and no other cars involved and those usually go ok.
For instance, I vidded my cars speedo 40-80mph full throttle in 3rd gear, and that hasn't gotten locked or anything.
We're not hating or anything, just curious is all. wink1.gif

Yah were not hating on you or your car man, you have a nicely built car and we know anyone who properly tunes tibs helps our cause; but when we see something that doesnt make sense, we'll ask about it.
Because there are people who like to make bogus claims (like one guy who said he was running 5psi on stock fuel and pulling 220whp: B.S.) and we just want to make sure that everybody who makes a claim is legit.
So dont think because we ask some question (like how 300whp beats 230whp with relatively the same weight) or make some suggestion (like ditch the SAFC) that your being hated on.
Its all good bro, fing02.gif
