    When i have guys that come in and dont really know what their motors are capable of, what the mileage is, the overall condition, then its hard for me to say "yeah it can hold 350whp EASY". especially since ive seen alot of them blow up past 300whp.
    why would you even let any customer that doesnt know shit about cars boost their motors if they are not in good condition, i believe that if the motor is fine, (ie. compression test, leak down test) hell boost it and make good/reliable numbers. make the most power out if it that you can. there is plenty of stock motors pushing over 300 hp and reliable. i wouldnt say that a motor is not reliable if it is pushing over 300 hp mike. YOU (mainstream) do not recomened you push the motor over 300 hp, because the owner wouldnt know how to drive it none the less maintain it..

    we get aggressive when the customer asks for it, but like scotty said, its a double edged sword.
    when scotty was tuning my car we hit 250 on 10 psi.. and he said he wanted to stop there. i asked to go up a little more and he hesitated to say yes. we went up to 11 psi and he wanted to stop.. hell i wanted to go to 15 psi on my stock b16.. and if it would of blown that would of sucked, but when you boost a motor you have to be prepared for bad stuff to happen. i beat the shit out of my car on 13 psi with a 11 psi tune.. not to smart i know but i dont think scotty wanted to push the car that much on the dyno. and i understand, hes earning his rep and a blown motor would make him look bad.. on the other hand 300 hp stock b16 would also make him look great. let me know when your ready scotty

    You cn be aggressive an get yourself a name for making power, but you can also get a name for "blowing" stuff up. Pick an choose wisely. Im comfrotable with our tuning procedures, and most people arent going to want to push their stock motors past 280whp.

    For the OCCASIONAL customer that wants to, then , hey, as i said before, they sign a waiver
    lol the funny thing about this comment is the first time i got tuned, i signed a waiver, but the second i didnt.. what does the waiver actually say i never even read it.. but even if my motor would of blown the second time, it would of been totally retarded for anyone to want to sue you guys.. like i said before you have to expect the unexpected.. if it blows shitty, time for bigger and better. if you expect a perfect car that will last forever then your an idiot. imho i think most of the times that a motor blows is beacause the owner is an idiot. most of the times the owner dont know shit about cars and nothing about maintaining a boosted motor.

    i'm ready whenever you are...don't forget you'll need to upgrade your map sensor from stock to 2.5bar or 3bar. this is also another reason i didn't want to push it farther because your map ends at 11.xx psi.

    i'd be ecstatic to push a stock block/internals as far as everyone has been showing...it's up to the owner and you sound like you're up for it.

    regarding the waiver the second time i think i had you re-initial the original one. i save every waiver for every car i tune and it can transfer anytime i tune, but i sometimes get a new one signed or the original intialed each time. in a nutshell the waiver states that we take every precaution and you are aware that your car will be tested under extreme conditions and damage can occur and that you are assuming those risks and not hold us liable. it's similar to bungee jumping or parachuting...you are aware that something may go wrong and SPLAT!
