Beware of James Rakes Tunes...

It should pass the way it is. They should just plug into the OBDII port and check for emissions DTCs.
Yes all my tunes have excellent drivability and progressive boost response so it is never like a light switch from 0 psi to 24 psi without even moving your foot like some tunes.

Also the progressive tune is great, I've driven a james e85 lnf and 2nd is worthless (which I'm trying to get that tune file to check for turned off dtc codes and other fun stuff)

Denver is poo for emissions, they hook up an exhaust sniffer and test NOx, COfix,O2, and a few others I think or maybe that's all, but its on a "dyno" so they take it up to near full rev

I figure I might pass with the high flow from zzp, but if I don't I have like 24h to be able to retest at no additional cost and if I fail with the zzp I'd like to have a quick backup plan

You don't have the stock DP? I didn't have that option with my custom kit and that's why i had a module cat made that took 3min to install.

We never could get my car dialed in. Instead, he skewed the values to make it run, but the drivability was terrible. He had me replace tons of things on the car, MAF, MAP sensors, intercooler pipes, intercooler, and at the end of the day the tune felt dangerous. At high rpms the car would backfire ~10 times a second.
FIFY
It was not for lack of trying. Like I said, we (MANY PEOPLE) tried to correct him and set things straight and the thread would go south with bashing and name calling by his uneducated followers. Then we would be the ones getting the warning PMs! I don't know who's girlfriend James had n00d photos of but he got away with a lot!
Eventually, people stopped caring and left the forum.

I just spoke the truth. Term bringing up the problems with the timing effecting the pistons and what not definitely struck me as it may have been the fatal problem to it all. I remembering reading about it in multiple of his threads he had argued in. It was talked about so many times from time to time by him. He seemed like he was the only one having problems with it. I remember specifically one person saying it was a flat out lie and most likely a tuning issue that needed to be resolved. He went off.

so nhanson has blown his motor after 5 days on e85. It must be the crummy weak LAP motors right?
No possibility the tune had anything to do with this?
Shake your head and walk away. Amazing people have money to spend on the trash talking trash tuner.
I notice that TTR and TeamSS are remarkably silent on this thread; considering the "expertise", according to TTR that was contributed by this tuner to the design parameters of the TTR aftermarket manifold for the LNF.

It is likely just beginning. With how many he tuned who are having issues there will be more and more info added to this thread. As more and more will question the quality and safety of their tunes there will be more tunes scrutinized. It will be kept to just the facts no bickering or arguing only empirical data and those he has tuned sharing their experiences. Like 07Metallic said this is the official CSS group therapy thread.

The "word on the street" is incorrect. I have seen both so please stop being a child and posting bogus claims. Better yet, post up examples to prove your point. I know me and quite a few others already have against "you know who" to substantiate any and all claims made.

There is no argument because of the fact he cant explain his own tunes or what you guys are posting.
If was able to come on here and defend these things it would be a different story.
Oh and nice band wagon guys.
