Tuner Rivalry

This is the second year we have been involved in these events and I wanted to share something that is apparent. We sit on these boards and watch the tuner verses tuner back and forth and the perception is none of us (tuners) would talk to another. Honestly that is a load of crap. Sorry for the eloquent use of vocabulary. I continue to go to these events and any PROFESSIONAL will help another to any extent necessary to get a competitors car on the road. There is no arrogance, just interest in another mans work. We all continue to learn and explore these cars. It is not as if one tuner or engine builder knows it all. I really fell like while we all do things differently we all respect another's desire to search for the limits or develop something new. There was not one guy there that wasn't wanting to help. I have seen this two years in a row. I truly enjoyed my self and want to share that it seems most of the bench racing comes from other channels rather than from the tuners. Thanks to all. I am proud to part of this group!!

WEll said . It's true in more ways than one... this board is reliable and honest, and for the most part I know i can rely on some very good people here. Thanks for the friendship everyone.

Yups.. that's how it was. Different tuners helping pull out drive shafts, swapping MAFs (cheers FVD!) and so on.. It was a very friendly atmosphere....
