yes it is a kill agreed by all four party's, I had a passenger in my car also. The only reason why he started gaining was because I let off when I saw the cop sitting on the side of the road, way before he did hence the reason why the passenger in the STI stopped mid sentence and was all "woah whoah". And from a dig I have no traction mods and all season tires, it wouldn't even be a contest wanna see how that would turn out STI wins. Furthermore I uploaded it off my phone real quick so I didn't feel like taking my sweet ass time people will still get the point.

GTFO if your just going to flame and it was a more along the lines of his front bumper at the rear of my door and that was coming from the STI driver himself

If you want to go for numbers I'm sure he would but I'm willing to bet you would be signing a paper saying he's not responsible



..
I still don't understand how that's a horror story... he's backing your car is going to run safely. Vs running on edge just for bragging rights.

If it was a kill your sidemarkers would not be in the video and all he should see is tail light's! im not flaming as i stated before NICE RUNS, But i dont consider that a kill. To each his own. and your still modded past a stage 2 balt. I call it like i see it.

a kill is a win and I won, and for a while there you did see my taillights in the video. I didn't make him look stupid just two cars that are close in power, but still a kill. fast and furious quote "don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile winnings winning"
yes i am a lil past stage 2 but your taking this video and ripping it apart anyway you can, and for that there's the door, good day sir.

I wasn't saying anything about a horror story, I was saying that he's a good tuner for not pushing cars past their limits

I think he confused us, Supercharged Guy and SuperChargedMA lol... because of my previous post saying I wanted to go to SMG for a tune but I was skeptical because some people have said they heard "horror" stories...

Honestly I dont remember the full details some people just told me that other people have blown motors or had constant problems and blamed it on SMG. Im in no way saying that it is true... just saying that is what I've been told.

I do want to go there for a dyno tune though, I went there once and met Fred with D.J (freakta) last summer and there was a ton of cobalts there, along with Project Scarab, just sitting there without an engine haha.

I guess what I was just asking is what you guys thought about his work, seeing as you both have gone there and have personal, first hand, experience.

Hope that cleared some things up.

i do my own work when i have time and freds the only guy id let work on my car...
ive seen hundreds of cars go in andout of the shop. the only thing worng with his work is when you drop off a car its just him doing the work so it takes time.

ive been tuned with him, my car is silly fast and never had problems, he does tune a bit on the safe side and thats exactly how id like it,

also nice run, need some more mods to run away from that suby

40-120 me and him have been going back and forth lately but after my tune I came out on top

251whp seems a little low for those mods, I put down 254.5 on a mustang dyno. Mods are in my sig

Fred's a great guy, and the tune i got has been solid. needs a tweak right now but only because i changed intakes since i was tuned almost 2 years ago. he does hold back a bit, but if you want him to push it i'm sure he would. i kept it back a bit because my cobalt is my daily, and i cannot afford a new engine right now. plus i don't race, so it doesn't matter.

The numbers seem right. He is only on a .1" smaller pulley than you and he is on the STOCK frontal exhaust

60's dont make power, they just give him the headroom for the 2.8. Yes he is tuned, but if your ottp tune is like mine was it was 11.7afr and 18* timing so it wasnt too bad. But exhaust does a good amount on these cars
