ok lets talk about privacy because someone threaten me after asccessing some state of florida records. I can narrow it down to one company and two people that Ill be report ingto the state. Im going to try an stay cool about the PM I received from BobK, but I dont take it lightly when reading through the lines of the PM being threaten. I wont take it, and will pursue it.
This PM came from BoBk today:
Mr. (edited last name here),
Gordon and myself are in the process of starting a website for American Muscle Cars which has nothing to do with this site.
You had spoken to Gordon and expressed that you would like to get into this market which is the reason I contacted you. I never thought you would infer to Rich that we are trying to undermine his site or 'steal his members'. In the past I had always supported Rich, this site and it's members.
I do not expect or desire a response to this PM. I am going to do some checking on Tampa Tuning because you are working on members cars. I did not know you could run an auto repair business out of a residence and I don't know if a business license is required. I do know from Rich's experience with harwood that a guy needs to be very careful.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So Gordon, if he works for you, is employed by you, or is an associate in your business, Ill call you out. :thumbsdown:
Richz asked me if Bobk or Gordon had reached out for me lately. I told him I got an odd PM from Bob last week, told him I didnt mix my corvette business with pleasure, and that I met with gordon at the last hooters meeting, and we discussed nothing about business oppertunities. The only thing I said was to gordon that's I wish a couple older cars would show up but didnt really have access to older car forums. Gordon said he knew a couple guys with older vettes and would tell them about hooters night. Nothing about a forum was discussed
at Richz request, I forwarded the two PMs from bob.
This is what rich asked:

I'm not going to drag you into the middle of anything, but I'm just following up on my "spider sense" tingling about them two and the vibrations I'm getting from them...
Thanks,
Rich Z
this is in part of what I sent to Rich:
nothing from shadow, but an odd one from BoB K yesterday and that he wanted to met up with me to talk business and pleasure. I told im I only talk corvette business.
Now,
as far as Rich, bob, and gordon.
You guys have some set of balls dragging my business into your pissy girl fights and your all dead to me.
and for the bob, you have serious issues. I dont have a auto repair business that is worked out of my home. you want to report me, do it! I do have a business license, LLC, and EIN. Access my records again, threaten to report me, and we'll see how this all settles out in court.
I keep everything. i had a feeling bob had issues and got tired of him last year when I has helping tuning he's car for FREE. Then he bitched to me that he lost .2ths of a second at the track after his tranny was rebuilt. read from the bottom up

Dang, I said it was a joke, ya know, kidding. Would someone send you a tune if they thought you only wanted to steal it?
I didn't mean to imply you had a 'hidden message' agenda either. You replied to a PM but there wasn't anything there for me to read. It was exactly the same as when I sent it to ya. Thought maybe your reply was buried in the PM and I didn't see it.
Why the attitude? I don't get it. I had already replied to your email before I saw this. Under the circumstances I'll just put the tune in the round file. I simply told you what Jeff was charging and I thought you were offering a great deal.
Nice talking to ya. Now I think I'll use that block thingy in my user CP.

If your friend jeff has free lifetime help to get a better understanding of tuning, I think that may be a better option for you.

Hey, I'll send you the tune. Let me look at your website for email and you'll get one from
r.korreck@yahoo.com. Usually I can dial within .01 of what the car will run. If you know Tracy he'll tell ya it's the most consistent C5 he's ever seen. Course I have 5 yrs of data so that helps a bunch.

If you use BETA you can send it to me and Id be happy to take a look at what's going on.

5600.0 36.0
5400.0 72.0
5700.0 134.0
To shift at 6100 it's set as follow:
6000.0 40.0
5900.0 77.0
5900.0 134.0
My friends website. Jeff is charging $250 with lifetime support.

At part throttle, you shift at MPH dependant on your throttle percentage. Did you reduce your torque management and zero out your delay RPM in your power enrichment?

Bottom line on mine is I can't tell the difference at the strip unless I really drop them to run slower for a slower Index class. The weather affects mine much more than any shift point. I'm talking 5800 vs 6000 RPM.

No problem Bob,
Yes the A4s are much easier to tune. A couple shift points and some line pressure and your good to go. The A6s have many more tables for differant patterns and X an Y tables, up shift tables, Down, sideway, lol
There are about 10 tables per pattern.

I made maybe 10 changes for my A4. I can't imagine going through an A6.
