I was wrong about the speed 3's fuel pump issue? The **** I was kid. I explained to you why they replace "the internals" of the pump, despite the fact that it is less internals and more about being able to utilize a factory location and hardware to mount with, thus bringing the price of the bump down to a very affordable level so that the part is easy to acquire for you.

Second, I explained to you in depth, how power works in a car. When you raise boost, you need to add fuel and watch timing and EGT's, you need to account for knock. You need to adjust your timing, fuel pressure, and injector duty cycle to adjust your AFR's in WoT, and that you need to do the same for daily drivability.

I explained to you that if you indeed had friends in the business, you could get the tuning done and modifications done for next to nothing.

However, we aren't talking aftermarket fuel pumps in this thread. We're referring to a mirror, or any factory replacement part.

Of which I promise you that I literally get at at cost less than your car club guys, but likely the same cost if you have a family member in the parts department.

I want to explain to you something, however.

Most discounts you'll receive from a car club, are 10-25% discounts from retail, not from cost. I get everything that my warehouse provides me, at cost, or slightly above it. A number you'll never touch unless your Tax ID does the volume and frequency that I do, and no car club will ever come close to that. However, if they had someone on the inside at a distributor, that could be the case, on a personal level, however, he is only allowed to purchase so many products for himself before his personal account is flagged for passing on the savings to non company customers.

I Spent a summer working at Keystone and Arrowspeed, I know how that business works, I know how it can get you in trouble.


You're coming at me with attitude, I"m just explaining to you how the world works dude, take your anger out on someone else, but don't tell me I was wrong about a god damned fuel pump when I clearly know more about the aftermarket and performance world than you do, and I especially have the knowledge for tuning better than you, its my ****ing job.

You are full of yourself.

Do you think you are the only one who knows how to add horsepower to a car and do it properly? Or how an ICE works?

I never held myself out as an expert nor was I looking for your attempted tutoring. I know my way around a car. Your lecture wasn't needed. I know how power is generated and what modifying different components actually does to generate horsepower.

The fact that you feel you need to lecture me about something which I already have a decent amount of knowledge is telling. Am I as versed with the intricacies of tuning as you? No. Do I know enough to not need to go to a know it all stealership mechanic and get raped on labor rate and "book time"? Yes.
