Is this question going to be answered?
I'm not trying to sound like a *****, but John that is no one's business but my own.
There is dyno time involved.

OK, Let me get this straight: You are selling a header for a PREMIUM price and you wont say what testing went into the design? I do think its everyones business what testing is behind this design, It is easy to make a pretty design that falls flat on its face on the track. The SDJ Header I sell is constantly undergoing refinement based on DYNO and track feedback.

I never really planned on selling them, customer in the shop wanted one, I basically did it for cost, because it was fun. I was just throwing around the idea, seeing if there was any interest. I don't really care anymore about selling things on the boards, its a complete waste of time...
I misunderstood you John, I have been catching some serious flack from a bunch of wannabe internet kids....

I out and out refuse to post any of the work I do on the forums, and generally request that anyone I do work for do the same.
Anyone who actually wants anything I make will come and find me in person through word of mouth.
When I used to post stuff online, I would get millions of emails and PM's from kids who had a checkbook full of dreams and empty promises.
There's no money in making parts for FC owners. FC owners are some of the cheapest, thieving (ask any RX-7 specialty shop, including myself, how many of their cars' parts have gotten ripped off... stupid ****, too, like switches and gauge clusters), dreaming, immature groups of automotive enthusiasts out there.
Really discouraging to be assoicated with, typically.

That is really the unfortunate part, painfully true, and unfortunate.
I mentioned that in the taillight modification thread, people that do good work and stand behind it are put off by the b.s. that goes on when simply trying to provide a service. I'm not interested in wasting anyone's time, but if I say I want something I follow through to the end, Rob knows, I don't fool around.
It is a shame to have an avenue such as this one to share info and services, and have people capable of providing quality and sevice in thier products in the same place, and have them not share any of it because of people wasting thier time on things they can never afford.
