What did you all think of it? I taped it and haven't watched it a second time but from what I saw it was pretty much a joke (my opinion). I know of the parts they were using (which sell for approx. $50 more than a RaceonE85 kit). Did you catch that they said they were gasoline blocks so the customer had to change the idle feed restrictor and rearrange the emulsion bleed plugs before they installed them. What is that all about? Did I miss it or did anyone else see them do anything with the air bleeds on the top of the main body? Did you see the size of those jets? WOW. Then again if you don't address the bleeds you would need to run a bigger jet I guess. How about the way it sounded when they fired it up? It sounded kinda rough to me. Then came the one dyno pull. What did it make? Something like only 15 more horsepower than 93 octane gasoline and I don't remember the torque number but it was down too. I know it was a quick bit but I think they left a LOT of power on the table. What do you all think?

I saw the show and was thinking the same thing, lots of power left on the table. I did'nt see any air bleed changes either. I sure hope mine sounds better than that when it fires. ( I know it will ;D). Did'nt seem like they wanted to devote much time to the process or tuning, especially for making a dyno pull.

I have never been impressed with those guys I stopped watching a long time ago.

I had to push record on the VCR and just walk away after I had only been watching that channel for about 10 minutes and still hadn't seen a bit of the show, just commercials. I swear I counted 10 commercials in a row.  |

Didn't see it, but sounds like they need to do some more homework.  |

Watched the show once and missed the part about the gasoline blocks.
I do like the idea of the shows but don't care for how qwick they jump around and give little info on what they are doing.
The LQ4 dyno down 100 hp, change to a different ECU with 10 more degrees advance and after a few pulls they end up 129 HP? Is that 129 up total or 229 from 100 hp down?
I don't think most people tune NA 10 degrees at a time!! At last not me!
Oh well at least it didn't cost much for the info.
