Tim... I'm by no means rich, but I do have a pool... Now it doesn't really need much cleaning, but would you fly down here and wrench with Matt on the car every month? I really have managed to become quite a supervisor since my day with the Camaro.

I don't understand why Randy (layinback) is so upset over the dumbest things.

Car looks great. I love the ROW bumper and the deck lid too. I would be interesting to see the back psi pre turbo on the K24 hotside.

Trying to figure out which is funner you buying my race gas for 10 yrs or the lawn boy statement, wait all "rich" people have pools... You should have stated POOL BOY...

Yes I can see you are crazy....

"bizzare little Porsche world of lowering these cars to a drag strip status" What is a 60-130? not race team could careless what their 60-130 is.. smh.

"I've seen your videos Tym. You are not a handsome man" Thank God you feel this way, save all that man love for Markski..

"I could take 100,000 cash to Mark or Evoms tomorrow and I'd crush your car" It would be more then that "Rich" guy.

"But let's put these cars to the test they were built for......... the REAL track." If that where the case you would have a cup car or a gt2 at least, BTW that statement truly is a foolish one.

"I'd bet you don't make a lot of money." Selling a a28kit then building a motor for 60k to "rich" people like you would not change my life at all.
Can I get in on this?!

I'll even leave my Cup Car at home.

I'll run him in my 1050WHP Porsche that's been "lowered to drag racing" at any track if he'll pay for my fuel for 10yrs.

C16 is currently $785/drum and if someone else is buying - I can go through that **** about 55 gal a week! Hahaha.

Tim is also much better looking than me.

Didn't bother to read your post but I'm sure that it's quite witty and amusing.

It seems that you've raised the brow of several 6 speeders with your

petty BS. I say that based on the number of pm's I received thanking me

for my "addressing" the issue and, as you can clearly read, several peeps

who echoed my sentiments on this thread, including the OP.

I'm finished with our internet jousting. You can either accept my offer

to race our Porsches in the manner they were created, or we can work

it out by other means when we meet up someday. The high horsepower

Porsche community is a rather small community and our meeting face to

face is inevitable. Markski is a man of diminutive physical stature, but

I am not and I don't take kindly to bullies.

I don't consider interfering with a mans livelihood "small"

Mark makes a living here and he's had no problem giving away

a fortune in advice just to help people. People who never spend a

dime with him. Tim has challenged his integrity and he's denigrated

his products for no apparent reason.

I think the question is, How can you consider this "dumb."

I don't know you but you are spending a lil more money than just

a tune and an exhaust. Either you have rich parents or you've

worked hard and built a business or a career. What if I came to

your place of business and starting attacking your work?

How dumb would that be Powell?

Mark is a good guy had quite a few conversations with him from even when I just got this car over 6 years ago. His work/products/music are bad ***.

As far as bashing the company welcome to the internet... Everyone has their opinions on things. Tim and I bashed heads plenty enough on here, but he knows what he's talking about. I ran into a major issue that we thought could have been due to cam timing. Tim offered to send me all the tools for setting them (not cheap either...) within a day of the problem occurring. Hell probably less than 5 days before we were going at it on here, but still instantly offering to help. It's a true enthusiast mentality and it's what makes this fun.

Now as why I am able to do builds like this? Swole Powell (Lil Powell, little brother) and I were out hunting one day...


Honestly people bad mouth the products we deal with all the time. It's part of the IT Industry... Now someone comes sturring a ruckus at our offices well... We live in Texas

Powell, I see Tim helping people and I've acknowledged that. That doesn't

excuse a persistent campaign to discredit a man and his product. Tim

hijacks a thread by one of Marks customers who is in the process of

extolling the virtues of his 911 tuning exhaust. He goes on to

challenge Markskis dyno numbers and rants about how the hp guys

get rid of the x design setup. This is not an isolated event.


Are you conflating that behavior with " were jus a good ol bunch of

buddies who talk smack but we love each other in the locker room...

you know,... like wrestlin."





If you and Tim bash heads and then move to Vermont and make up.....

who cares. You don't have a business on 6 speed.

Powell, I don't know you from Adams house cat but I know you haven't started a

business. The flippant way you look at this and the very fact that you got in it

tell me you are a man who has always worked for others. You have not built.

I'm taking a big chance with this assumption, but I'm confident.

Your "finding gold" seems very plausible lol.

You do realize that Mark has been very successful way before doing Porsche parts, hell he still DJ's... Everyone has their own opinion and some you will never change... The "woman" I work for taught me that, but it wasn't like she started the business 16 years ago from ground up... I mean she obviously doesn't know very much either, because clearing over $50 mil in sales last few years with that thought process... I guess I didn't learn anything and neither did she...

Props to you for now becoming that ****** bag!
but Powell....Its fun and games...remember.

Hook goes in mouth and bzzzzzz goes the fishing rod.

Powell I set you up. I turned the tables and we did a

little empathy exercise.

You are VERY competitive with low empathy = Rich Kid


I had lunch 3 weeks ago with a client. This client bought

a fledgling little fighting organization for a couple mil

a few years back and it's doing ok now. Maybe you've heard

of it. The UFC? Ring any bells. He and his brother operate

a conglomerate of casino / hotels in Las Vegas. We were talking

about this very subject and how easy it is to recognize.

Anywho, I'm anything but a ****** bag. I am however,

a whiz at this and you...well you.. are good at making Porsches

go fast . I can dig that!

I have been very argumentative lately and for that I apologize.

I don't understand... What is empathy??? I just talk with common folk, and it doesn't matter if they are worth 100s of millions or 25k in debt... Never needed a reason to name drop to show how much better/cooler/etc. but that is just me. Treat others the same as you want to be treated, right???

Since you are new here please look back at all my post... To bring out an arrogant side takes a lot... Mainly when people excessively talk down to others as if in some way far superior (financially, looks, power, etc)... Usually that is a sign of weakness that a person is trying to hide... Of course in that type of situation you work to exploit that problem until it comes to light... Then hit them where it hurts... Regardless that type of behavior is a sign of a large character flaw... One of the very very few things that will change my entire mindset if triggered at the right time.

And yes I saw how you were going to spin this, seeing as I deleted it about 10 minutes later... Little over an hour ago? Was not worth continuing... As stated above it is very easy to play the fishing for a troll to bite... Right now it just isn't worth anymore time after this, especially after staring down wiring diagrams for a 996TT ECU Harness and Relays; and going on VERY little sleep last few days... So needless to say I'm a lot more edgier than normal...

Thank you guys. English ist not my native language and I learned some new words Just leave it at that here, please. I am sure that if we were together in a bar we already had a few more beer by now and would be talking BS and have some fun together.

@Tim: Thank you. I have a probe for backpressure post turbo. In order to measure pre turbo I could take out one of the EGT sensors, but they already are a problem. They become lose every now and then and I need to fix the nuts with the TIG welder.

I need to find a hardware (sensors) logging tool before I can do all that. My plan was to go with Innovate (DL-32) but my impression is that this is all old stuff and their support is quite bad. They don't even know answers to their own product, as if they no longer have the staff who know about the facts. I hesitate to buy that stuff and am looking for options.

Powell I've read your post. I can see that you are an ok guy. I'm not a troll
and when my kids explained the phenomenon of trolling, I was
disgusted.

But I am an old fart! I've a hard time distinguishing the internet from
the day to day goings on of life. I wasn't name dropping by the way.
He is a client, not my confidant. My comment about being "rich" was
an allusion to the "art" of going fast. All it takes is money. That's
why we have stock car races lol. I come from very humble beginnings
and I'm a southern boy raised by true to life hillbilly grandparents.
I still catch myself at the grocery store thinkin, " That grape jelly jar
would make a nice ice tea glass when were finished with it."

You came to tims defense and his actions are indefensible. He has a
concerted effort to discredit Markski. I challenge you to review his post
over the last year. I;ve spoken with Mark about this and Marksi doesn't
take it as a joke. Quite the contrary!

I'm a little edgy too bro. I sincerely don't have a beef with you and I
don't want one. I will go after your record though lol! But not in a
spiteful way or " I'll show you" You seem like a hard working young man
rich kid or not. I unduly lashed out at you but good jezuz christ, read
how this man is relentlessly attacking Markski.

Create a thread and make it a sticky, " X design exhaust isn't the best
setup for uber high HP applications and x design exhaust linked to brain
cancer in laboratory mice and satan worshiping pedophiles in Haiti."
