Message I dunno dude. There are so many variables that one can't keep track of when you aren't turning the wrenches. And you are right, I'm not there when you are tuning. I just think nothing replaces actually racing a car.

For instance does anyone actually know whether the folks that you mentioned actually run the cars at the max boost that you tune for? Have they adjusted fuel pressure, for instance, after it left your hands? Again, nothing replaces actually experiencing the car in competition.

To bring this back to the point of the original post, are any of those folks operating the cars at full power for extended periods, *with* the turbo well past the point of good efficiency? Perhaps such marginal operating points truly are good only for the dyno?

But, point taken. And you are answering in a calm manner. I give credit for that! Ha!
