Well my cars have been competitive and talked about since before he even thought of opening a shop. I guess I need to open a shop and buy a dyno sell my own cars so I can't race anyone. Well at least Mike Bell has a car to race. Ken has nothing. This one time he had a car that ran 10s. Lmao!!!! Craig drove his Deuce to TRI STATE ran 8's and drove it back to his shop. What's ken done but dodge racing me for the last 10yrs?????

I thought it this thread was about tuning??? Not about drag racing, Ken's silver 10 second car had rules and regulations to follow, not just retarded big cam, slicks and a 300 shot running for a 1000 foot at the boneyard. Ken's a tuner, that does SOME drag racing on the side, nice job on the s-s-s-subject change. :lol:

We're talking about Ken, and no one but Ken. Ken has never broken any rule involved with pure street drag racing in the NMRA. I don't give a shit if there's 50,000 threads involving you and Ken. Here's another one.

Better go back and read about how they flew to texas or where ever its was to buy those parts. I forget what they bought or where they went but Ken was definitely involved. We were in the middle of calling them cheaters in a thread when they got caught. And if you make guys with unlimited funds buy all the best supporting components really how hard is it to tune? Now to be a real tuner you should be able to take a guy who can't afford to buy the best of anything and get his car to make absolutely the most power possible. Instead of telling them to go home with out a tune save up and buy better parts.

What you guys don't understand is they are not tuning. They are just correcting numbers on a lap top. Any 10yr old can do that. Tuner is someone who can make the best out of what you've got in stead of what you need for their lap top to do the work.

That just doesn't make sense. Not sticking up for Ken but if you have shit for parts, say small valve smog heads, I don't give a shit who tunes it, it's not going to run with a large valve large ported head motor.

You start with shit you'll end up with shit. Start with some good parts you then have a chance especially with these heads up racing guys.

I know what you mean about getting the most out of a part but there's times if something is not right I would not waste time trying to make it work when a better part would be the right way of fixing it.

Newer cars tune with computers. Like I said its just moving numbers. Any 10yr old kid can do it. A good tuner should be able to tune what you bring them to the best of its capabilities and not make you leave and buy parts that you don't want or can't afford so you help cater to their capabilities

I'm a suck ass driver, what is there to debate? :lol:

"Tooners" do what you are describing when it comes to tuning a car. They take the laptop and make the AF smooth and the power decent on a dynograph. You are right, most people with a little practice can tune like that for decent WOT performance. They will also tune a car to the ragged edge to get the very best numbers, without taking into account the longevity or safety margin of a combo

What a real Tuner does is also dial in the thousands of other values in a modern day ECU that ensure each time you start the car it idles right, has good throttle response, keeps decent fuel economy, and overall good driving manners. Ken, Mike, Craig and others fit the real tuner category. What real tuners also do is take their vast experience of tuning literally hundreds or thousands of different combos they have tuned over the years and give constructive suggestions on what to do to get acceptable results out of your car. They also know what parts maybe result in unacceptable margins of safety or longevity if tuned to make power?

Why would you want someone to knowingly take your money when the results will be less than desirable or even worse, potentially unsafe? I just don't understand why anyone would prefer a scenario like that.

I wasn't going to say anything, trying to keep my comments too myself as i'm eating my :popcorn:. But I have to ask..... are you sure it made that much power? and only ran 11.12? and after your calculations...10.70's??? If thats true then what in the hell are you SMOKING? If your pushing that kind of power, and didn't get low 10's consistantly (saying your a bad driver) I would run the car in the river and start over! Ok I will put it this way, BEEFCAKE made 528 rwhp+448 rwtq and ran 10.80's. ENOUGH SAID!!!

My car made 385/390 and ran 12.60's, now after my turbo upgrade it made 450/550 and if I can't get the car into the 11's, there will be a problem! OHH Yeah.. my car weighs about 3600 est. with me in it.

Have you ever seen me run down the track? :lol: I do have a suspicion that the car hasn't been getting the full 23 degrees of timing at the track because of AIT's. I've not had a laptop to datalog and confirm till this year, but I haven't made it to the track yet.

What I don't understand is why does it matter how he tunes his cars. From my prospective is he tunes his own stuff and he gets some really good numbers at the track. If he blows it up, thats his deal, but while it does run, it's fast. He don't care about longivity. He just likes the car to run good.

I'm simply curious, just like I'm sure you are curious why I've only run low 11's in my car :lol: Who cares who's car is faster in a dig race? What does that have to do with how the car is tuned? A car with a great tune can run shitty times and my car is an example because I suck! I also know my car isn't street legal, and I bet Metcalf's isn't either. Again, I don't know what that fact has to do with anything?

A tune that goes for max performance without regarding longevity is what I call a Heads Up Racer's tune. That works for some people if they are fully aware an accepting of the risks, but many tuners don't want to do that for customers that want that kind of tune for their race car. I don't blame them one bit for that either. So to have a tuner suggest parts that will yield the same or better performance in a more reliable tune vs running the parts a customer has that likely won't hold up is just good business practice. Not to sell parts per say, but to keep from having a car that a tuner tuned from blowing up and being blamed on the tuner.

You are right, most people with a little practice can tune like that for decent WOT performance. They will also tune a car to the ragged edge to get the very best numbers, without taking into account the longevity or safety margin of a combo

What a real Tuner does is also dial in the thousands of other values in a modern day ECU that ensure each time you start the car it idles right, has good throttle response, keeps decent fuel economy, and overall good driving manners. Ken, Mike, Craig and others fit the real tuner category. What real tuners also do is take their vast experience of tuning literally hundreds or thousands of different combos they have tuned over the years and give constructive suggestions on what to do to get acceptable results out of your car. They also know what parts maybe result in unacceptable margins of safety or longevity if tuned to make power?

Why would you want someone to knowingly take your money when the results will be less than desirable or even worse, potentially unsafe? I just don't understand why anyone would prefer a scenario like that.

Hmmm Metcalf I think he named you as a tuner in his list of real ones. There isn't another tuner in the city with the name Craig:bigthumb

Oh and while I'm posting I wanted to touch on why it makes me sick to hear about you guys and your dyno trips. The word SAFE. All that is, is a EXCUSE as to why your cars are SlOW. If I'm going its to make power.

Buddy your cars all get tuned safely without leaving a ton of power on the table. Neither Tracey or myself would put your cars on the ragged edge to pick up 5hp. I believe you are talking about the overly rich pigs that some people refer to as "safe" which are actually no more safe than a correct tune...

The bottom line is my cars are fast and always have been. I've been calling ken out for over 10yrs. Look it up. Ill have my car back this week call Ken see if he wants to race me. If not you guys should quit talking for him

Are you kidding me? Ken isn't worried about racing you, he's a grown man who doesn't need to race the infamous metcalf to feel good about himself. Let it go. Call me a nut swinger, call me whatever you want, I'm just taking up for a friend. Grow up.

But Metcalf feels "better" by calling out someone who has no interest in racing him, it is like a huge win to him, even without having to race Ken.

Now hold on here guys! Blame the starter of the thread for the call out. The point of the entire thread is Metcalf tunes his own cars and as far as Ken goes, I don't know whether or not he can pour concrete or not. But who does what best was the question. But when you question Metcalf on him tuning and racing, he is going to call out anyone who thinks they have a shot. He thrives to be the fastest car out there and thats all.

Here's a better way to put it. If you can speak for Ken, then set the race up. But don't set there and stir the pot when guy don't even know whats going on and then get defensive when he gets called out and it wasn't even his words that got him in the middle. Just my .02

Only Ken can speak for himself about a matchup.

If Craig is tuning his own POS to be on the ragged edge, power to him. But that does little for a business trying to build itself on a reputable tune that will last more than 2k miles before shitting the crank through the oil pan.

As a tuner/builder do you wanna be known as the one lap feature that WILL explode or the one that can run the number every weekend, and repeat it at next track.

Yeah but Craig never said one thing about opening a buisness. He has only taken 2 cars ever to Cincy Speed for tuning and he was taking it there for someone else. (Big Rob) His cars are crazy high horsepower cars and when you start getting into making high power numbers, no-ones car is going to last very long if all you do is beat on it.

I don't speak for Craig either, so I will let him comment for his self. There is no need to keep this rediculous thread going.

other tuners just say its on a safe tune because they cant get anymore power out of it so that's an excuse. the only good tuners around that can get good numbers out of a car and be safe are you and tracy... you 2 are the only ones that will touch my cars and i will go to where ever you 2 are to get it done.

read a couple posts before all that. The cars that Cincy Speed tuned where Big Rob's cars. Craig came along for the ride.

Cincy Speed tuned my car, and I made a signature that showed that. I am real happy with my tune.

No that's not true Alan. I took my turbo car to Cincy Speed and I've taken y current car there also. I like Cincy Speed. Everyone there as always went above and beyond for me. I've had my current car there also. I needed help getting the bugs out before a big race in Marion and Craig and Adam did everything in their power to help me win. Which I Did Win!!!

And if you went such a newb you know that Ken and I have been arguing about racing for over 10yrs. THAT'S WHY THEY MADE THIS THREAD, THE REAL STANGBANGERZ KNOW THIS.
