It gets really tiresome watching you parade around here with your chest puffed out like you are some kind of god. Great you have 23k posts. Awesome. You would think by now you wouldnt waste your time flaming new guys for asking a question. That you would have, at some point, grown(up) out of it. yet I constantly see you doing it. Whats the point? Bumping up your post total so you can puff up a little more? Making you feel better when you wake up? Trying to be funny?
"HAHA Did you guys see that?! I put soap in his coffee! Take that you ******* rookie!"
get over yourself.

and if you do read this, dont bother replying. Save it for some other post I make. Im not going to check this thread again. So spend a few minutes right now, come up with a witty, razorsharp reply, write it down so you wont forget it, and use it next time I dare to challenge the great RETed. You can start it out with something about not understanding why I drive an FC cause I didnt get TII. I look forward to it.

you LOSE power by pingging, have too much timing, too little timing, too lean, too rich, on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.
the point to the whole thing that everyone needs to get is, ON A DYNO the most hp is acheived at the same time that the safest numbers are acheived - based on your boost of course.
If you run more boost than your engine likes, that is a different story.
Noone is busting anyones ***** here, if you new and want to learn something, then read the first post! regardless if it has some arrogence in it..... i think the 'annoyance' is coming that every post is already answered in the original post, just like 'can i turbo my NA?', its already been discussed!
If you have something else more specific, then ask. the newest was 'what AF do you run' I said mid 12's, then prolly down to 12.1 at the end just in case of boost creep or something.
Newest question is what is safest AF, not sure. I think that is A. engine dependent, and B. opinionated
since i have never blown an engine, i say my original answer stands as my new answer, but i am not your motor. Will you be safer the richer possible? Yes, but you waste gas, kill your brain cells, polute the earth and make less power

If you're going to infer all of that crap, then that's your problem, not mine
I don't do this to pad my post count; if you got a problem with the post count, then go bitch to the admins.
I don't care if my post count is where it is or back down to "0".
Maybe you can ask the admin to reset my post count?

That makes you look really stupid.
If that's how you just people, then I don't know what to say...

I'll just add you to my ignore list.
Done.

Christ. You people. The guy was looking for a simple number answer, not a 2 page debate, most of which didnt give him an answer he was looking for. As long as you can keep it less than 13 and higher than 10.5 or 11 across the board you should be safe and make ok power at the same time. Anything above 13 to me is too close to stoich, and less than 10.5 gets into the cant breath for the fumes category. Idealy, you would tune for best hp, but this way is just as good as long as you dont mind a few hp loss here and there. Hope that helps a bit. Thats by no means a definitive answer but what I like to go by.
Ted, you need to settle the **** down and stop being a dick to everyone. The majority of the posts you make are similar to these. Your disrespectful and rude. Someone needs to knock your teeth down your throat so you learn some goddamn respect for other people, and stop being such a douche all the time. You may gove helpful info, but that doesnt mean you have to be rude all the time. You represent your state very well. I hope the rest of the population isnt as asshat like as you.

It just shows how ignorant you are on the subject.
I'll put you on IGNORE too.

I guess it is my personal preference willingness to learn and be teachable but I would much rather listen to someone like Ted who will get in my face to help me avoid making a mistake than some pansy who will let me screw up my car cause I am being stupid. thats all I have to say on the topic.
I really Schruted it

Wow, a Ted fan. I never thought I would see the day. I'm glad you think Ted's knowledge and experience justifies him to dehumanize people and belittle them. Ted has answered some of my questions and helped me out but what I see is someone who simply enjoys antagonizing people. I wonder what he's like in person?

I bet he is the same in person. I like to antagonize as well but that is really not the case here.... You don't ask for advise and then argue when someone knowledgable tries to help. thats all... I think most of you old school forum guys get a bit jerky with the noobs.. ted just does it with flare. So yeah I guess I am a Ted fan.. lol
No clue if you're going to read this... but Ted, I really wish you would be less of an ***. I can tell that you know what you're talking about and could really help out the community a lot more than you do. Your post about tuning earlier was very informative. However, it was followed by posts that made me want to ignore what you said.
Just because you know more than other people about something doesn't make them stupid. Ignorance != stupidity. You had to learn somehow too.
I'll probably make it to your ignore list (if I'm not already), but it's sound advice. Someday you'll grow up and realize that belittling people is something that only reflects badly upon yourself.
