This seems to be a concerted effort of a few, like this individual who can make up a name on here, make up facts and the rest will stick by them to further the lie.
You could do the same smear campaign against any major vendor, and this is done as a business tactic. Gale Banks Engineering is clearly the biggest manufactures in the business, and has a huge following, selling more product then most of the rest combined.
The smaller vendors are extremely jealous , and feel threatened of this fact making attempts like this to discredit the leaders in any industry, in hopes that someone will listen , and the resultant fallout is greater sales for their favorite vendor.
You can say that I have a vested interest in the PR of GBE, and that is a fact, but I have a reasonability to call a lie a lie when people make up a log in name on the internet and after 3 post, we all know its some one with an Axe to grind.
People like John P spread this crap, when he himself could not possibility have true first hand knowledge of the facts. He has what is legal terms is called hearsay. This means he heard about it, so it must be fact . He talks about TST like it’s a fact that GBE copied they fuel plates,
GBE has a dyno facility that engine shops from INDY, NASCAR, and NHRA, would be extremely envious. The customers of this extensive facility include the U.S Navy, the OEM, on others come to GBE to solve problems. The ability’s of this dyno facility is a fact that no one on here will refute. So in debate terms we will stipulate this as a fact, unless some one to pretend this doesn’t exist.
Why on Gods green earth with someone with this infrastructure need to copy a plate from some one who has what for a infrastructure. I mean a fuel plate is a tune in physical form , there are thousands of different variants , I make my own from stock plates and work the fuel curve out , grinding a few thousand of a inch at a time at a time . Where did I learn to do that, well from Jim Fulmer and Bill Fletcher . Dose this mean I copied their plate, no, because every engine is different.
If you want to get of here and rant and rave over product , that you probably have never even seen or had anything but hearsay knowledge , back it up with fact , recipes ,pictures and such, or hold you tongue
Anyone want to debate me on this instead of the rants of John P and Baby P bring it on , but have facts , and do it in a civil manor
