When I was doing IT work back in the 90s and early 2000s, I was also tuning cars on the street, like you guys have been the last few years. I used to do all the street datalogging and crap also. Me, Steve and some of the other older school guys spent plenty of nights and weekends making tuning runs at Red Rock and other industrial parks before we even had the luxury of widebands. My car made 400whp on pump gas at 22psi back in 2001 and 460whp on race gas at 25psi.

LOL, I didn't look at the member base. Okay, I'd probably say I've "assisted" in 1/2 of the active members on here? I forget we get a few members signed up a day that never post, just want to play in the arcade.
I wasn't trying to be-little your tuning shane at all! I was just stating that we aren't exactly "new" to the community and have been around nearly as long as the original "old school" guys. We were part of the 2nd wave of now "old school" members, about 1-2 years after the original guys (you, hill, Kris Ali, Shindley, etc).
John meant that he helped via giving input if he had any, and learning stuff off you. I would say we actually "know" all the mitsubishi related tuning software. Some of the other stuff (split second, motec, emanage) have been a few sucessful encounters, but far from "knowing" it like I know those damm S-AFC's, dsmlink's, and EMS's.
I've done pulls at Red Rock before without widebands before, those buggers were EXPENSIVE! Even for the DIY kits! Narrow band tuning, IDC logging, and 02 monitoring was the rocksaurs I tell you. Then going back to NABR and seeing what others were getting. Hell I remembe when you (or was it Hill?) vouched for me back in 2001 as a "member". Then I got dropped due to AOL owning all, and NABR not liking it (I didn't like it as well!).
By the "first" I ment out of the privateer within our "group". The older school members (like yourself) never posted or talked to us "noobs". Within our "cult" of people, AKA the dsmstyle guys we play poker with, the applebee's/KK members, etc...we were the first to 400whp on pump.
All I was saying is that we've been around as privateers tuning.
Don't worry, you still have me by about....2000 dyno hours? LOL.
