Here is the thing....there are alot of people out there taking credit for others testing and hard work and they know who they are. Will it ever end...nope. All this stuff has went from helping each other in the past to it being about business and making money. Kind of the nature of the beast I guess.
To the original poster..you could always try Craigs List and see if it sells.

Jess,

Steve has claimed for years that he has some table or tables that is the Holy Grail of tuning tables.

If you look at the list of trucks running 9's, 10's, 11's they tuned by EFI-Live for the most part.

The trucks in RED are EFI-Live tuned, the other trucks not in Red may be EFI-Live tuned, I am not sure.

Blue trucks are TTS tuned

So if you get rid of the two Bank's trucks, and re-check the list you will probably find that 90% of the fastest 50 trucks are all tuned by EFI-LIVE.

So call me a skeptic when you tell me that TTS has any advantage when someone who knows how to use EFI-LIVE is at any disadvantage ?

Like I said before, some people kiss the ground he walks on even when they cannot make more than 2 passes without breaking. Steve's answer to this is that he makes so much power nothing can hold it.:spit:
Steve never did the tuning anyways. Larry with a couple of other rocket scientists he hired allways did it all. This all started in'95 with my SS Impala as a mule. I have meat these guys at my house. They are the brains.

13, 25-27 are. I think 3 is but not 100 percent sure
Last I heard Dirtymax is running some sort of PPE tuning, but the #6 Mike Woods NX Mustang is running EFILive tuning. I'm pretty sure Johnboy tunes it.

there's def not much sharing these days , not sure why other than people getting bashed for thinking outside the box / norm, a lot of key board experts these days , i have wondered if any one is building stuff any more as quite as its been , my threads will start again soon , got a lot of cool idea's for this winter , and as usual most (95 %) will be public . as for the tuning discussions :popcorn: this one is going old school ..................

I've seen some of the tables Steve uses as he showed me. Similar to efi, but he does have tables that we don't have with efi. Steve is a smart guy and thinks outside of the box and has been doing it for a long time.

Personality's aside, there have been some smart people that have contributed to the dmax performance growth, I'd say he is one of them. Like him or not.

But do they give Cole's tuners an edge over EFI Live? i'd think not but i have not seen these tables.... No one doubted that Cole is a very smart indiviual but he is also a _______ (fill in the blank:D)

All of the trucks below the mustang that are no yet colored are efi live. I don't think that Steve tunes much of anything newer than the LB7's either. Now what I'd really love to see is who actually tunes what, and what engine it runs? That would be a great addition to the quick 50 list.:thumb:

All I'll say is that I wish I had some of the tables that I saw.

Why does posting thoughts on this forum seem to get countered by certain people, even though spoken from real world experience and not internet theory's?

Rob, I'm sure I speak for others aswell. I/we appreciatte any input from anybody as long as its for the relivent
