Mods, I think it's important for this to be here, we need to clear this up once and for all, for the reason being Kenetix attempts to give information about tuning and modifying the MSP on this forum, while posting ridiculous times for himself that don't make sense. He could potentially give false advice to someone that may be assumed as legit because of his impressive performance claims. Please take a look...

Kenetix, remember your claim of 13.3 @ 119mph? The one where you kept adding mods to your list because many people basically told you it was impossible, including Joe P.? You posted this on June 28th,

1/4 MPH 119.421

1/8 ET 8.597
1/8 MPH 84.880
60 FT 2.400
Reaction time .513

Just recently, you were asked for proof of your 13.3 @ 119mph run. You posted this yesterday,

It was scanned **** nut. And since you asked so nicely here it is.

Not only are none of the numbers the same, asided from the ET and mph being close, but the variance of the rest is huge. A 2.1 60' compared to a 2.4. An 8.83 @ 93mph 1/8th compared to an 8.5 @ 84mph? Yet both with a 13.3 @ 119mph? There's no need to question this one. Even if you say it was two different runs, it's physically impossible that you ran the same ET & mph in the same car with such dramatically different 60' and 1/8th mile numbers.

Thanks for playing. You lose.
 
Anyone with any tuning experience knows that not all runs go the same. It doesnt matter what your setup is or what equipment you are running. I could have a blown 500ci in the car and still run a 16.x 1/4. It doesnt matter, thats the whole point in tuning. The first 13.x run I ever did I was still learning about the system on the MSP. I broke a CV, I was running on stock tires, the fuel system hadnt been modifed and the car was running like s***. I should have been in the 12's. I still don't know everything I would like to know about this car, and thats what tuning is all about. That why I went back and redid everything. Its not about goijng out and making a perfect ******* run all the time, sometimes there are hitches.
 
damn now theres even inter-msp wars happenin...you guys just need to simma down in the msp section lol
 
I never trust timeslips that people "scan" on to their computers. With the graphics programs we have today its so easy to fake a timeslip and make it look unbelievably genuin. Hell I can do it. I only trust a video. A home video of a car making a run, and then the stop clock way down at the finish line. Too easy to fake, and some people have ruined the trust factor for everyone... We'll never know if this dudes lying or not. And because of this occasion, we'll never know if the next guy is either, or the next guy, or the next guy. Get it?

Seriously man.....everyone just needs to calm the **** down. Kenetix is right though....there are so many conditions that can change to affect time like track prep, temperature, humidity, tire PSI...etc. I have seen EVO 8s run 14.965 because of a bad track and bad weather. If he is lieing who the **** cares. What is this the third grade "OH OH OH...you are lieing and I am going to prove you wrong to everyone, I am so COOL". Jesus we all love one thing....our MSPs so why cant people just get along. When razorP5 started talking s*** about us I didnt know why.....but I think I might have some idea now. But honestly why do you ******* care if he ran those times. Im not saying he did.....because its his business, and I could careless. So answer this....Why do you care so much about somthing that has nothing to do with you???:confused:
 
yall need to chill down....if you belive the guy, then good great....if not...then oh well. figure out a way to run 13's yourself...that way you can be sure that it is possible

Are you in the right thread? Did you read my post? Honestly, you may have mis-read it, please give it another shot. First paragraph.

Also, as for the two "different" 13.3 @ 119mph runs*, please look over the 60' and 1/8th mile differences. With such variance, you will not end up with the same ET & MPH by coincidence in the same car.

* There may be some confusion here, this has nothing to do with Kenetix's recent 13.1 @ 98mph post, but rather his old claim in June of 119mph. He never mentioned running the same time twice, but obviously it was a given that he would say the two timeslips I posted were different runs.
 
I'll post this again incase anyone missed it.

I did read it and I fully understand what you are saying. But this is what boggles my mind.....why do you guys care what he runs and does??? Just drop it and delete the thread because there is no point to start a flame war over this BS. This will be my last post in this thread because it is not relavent to keep talkign about what someone else did. Im out....good luck with your research.....I hope you prove him wrong!!:rolleyes:
 
and what makes your claims and statements so fool-proof Insidious, that you have to be the board policeman? anyone who takes advice from a random person on the internet is taking a risk, and that should be already understood.

June was a long ******* time ago. *cough*

Yes, however, if you had read my post, he brought up the timeslip yesterday.

Like I said, for the third time, this needed to be brought to attention because, unfortunately, some people believed his tuning ability to be accurate. If, for example, someone actually believed he got a HKS FCD to work, that someone may have tried the same and ended up blowing money or a motor.
