He helped me work through concept issues on the rear brake upgrade, by private message, rather than through the SVXNation group. There appear to be a couple of other knowledgeable folks, but I'm not sure what is really knowledge and what is bluster. A lot of talk of 3-D printing and custom stand-alone EMS. Don't really know what is real and what isn't. A lot of totally unrealistic aspirations for engine upgrades. Most of those guys don't realize that there is only a limited advantage that can be gained with bolt-ons. NA engine horsepower is expensive, much more expensive per marginal horse than forced induction horsepower.
There was and is still ongoing efforts to repair a lot of the damage that was done over there by that individual. A lot of really good people have went out of their way to help remedy the situation. I won't get into my personal stuff but dealing with all of that was one of the worst experiences of my life. There are a lot of knowledgeable and good people there but most efforts have been to try and repair what was done.
