I know this post is going to blow the f*&$ up, but that really isn't my intention - I just believe given the extent of verbage that has been allowed thus far on this subject that I at the least deserve a scratch in the tablet on the topic in which my name has been so precisely milled upon.
So many of these so called "haters" take their positions on short-sighted facets of the "big picture" that their conclusions appear "sound". The problem with their arguments, seemingly unbeknownst to them, likely by simple way of this internet participation being only a source of entertainment - ignorant to the fact that their actions impose on others' livelihood, - is they get themselves caught within simple logical fallacies:i.e.: how can you accuse a person of not supplying "apples to apples" comparisons and at the same time promote their product through the sale of another individual? The same people who will recommend to purchase an untested product from one individual will also be the same people to tell you that purchasing essentially the same product from this other guy would be based on inconclusive evidence. In the end, I do care about the amount of people who purchase this product from my company. I have spent countless hours developing and testing MY product and I do feel as though I deserve the benefits and rewards of my creations. If it weren't for this simple process, my efforts would have been impeded beyond my financial capacity far before now.... the same goes for Mike Smith, Greg Dupree, and the like.... One of the things I have stuck to in my product development is providing quantitative data on the products of which I provide. From ECU upgrades to dual intakes to intercoolers to induction systems - even feedback from the several hundred Z's I've personally tuned the the engine management system I developed for these cars, I've provided the information that almost no other company around has done for these cars. When it comes down to the economics of the situation, there will always be the Z owner that buys another product because it is five dollars cheaper - those are usually the same people that post in the tech forum trying to figure out why their car's aren't producing the kind of results they expect. For those guys, all I can say is that you get what you pay for. For the rest that understand the complexities involved with producing an effective product and know what really is effective vs. what is "inexpensive", give yourself a pat on the back - you deserve the reward. I know I've carried on quite a bit at this point - well beyond the scope of what would be expected from your reply to my original post. For your patience, I thank you. I just feel compelled to put my $.02 out there given the apparently popular argument about the value of who I am and what I do.
