The way I see it the CR stuff is still some what new so when you get a combo thats throws down good #'s you want everyone to know about it but you kinda wanna keep it to yourself at the same time so you can make some money off it while it last and before the copycatters get ahold of it and hor it out.
Now if I only had some big ole Flux squirts.
I would venture to guess that Don uses the internet enthusiast's forums for information just like most of us do. Be it transmissions, shocks, tires, turbos, stereos, hitches, etc, there is always someone there who has experience and shares it.
Nobody here invented common rail, turbocharging, diesel engines, or transmissions, so everyone is a "copycat" to one degree or another.
I doubt anyone faults Don for not sharing info, I certainly don't, it's the fact he goes out of his way to tell you he doesn't that is weird. So fk'g what? Dyno sheets start flame wars anyhow, and Don participates in them, so he knows what's up. He had lit me up pretty good when I posted numbers, even when track data backed it up.
As far as his injectors, you need to be on his soup list. I've been trying to get some for 2 years, as recently as 2 months ago, with zero luck. Don had posted on a Dmax board that he had injectors that improved mileage, dropped EGT's, and increased HP, but didn't real post any data, it was kind of "because I said so". Perhaps it's because I often test stuff back-to-back and report what I find. Dunno. I gave up and went with another product with good potential, which I will test "for-better-or-for-worse".
Don is a smart guy, and a pioneer in CR performance, but he should not be surprised if he gathers negative reactions from folk. Planting mustard seeds seldom produces rose bushes.
