Which indirectly implies that I am. Why would I? I'm a consumer, not a
vendor. FU Bill!

Based upon what, manufacturer's and vendor's claims and "feel good"
customers?

More feel good BS. Nobody wants to believe what they bought wasn't worth
the cost. Besides, the F&B is pretty!

How would they know? I haven't met anyone with a Dakota, Durango or Ram who
has the track experience or success that I have. Therefore their "feelings"
don't mean squat when it comes to knowing the "true" value of a
modification! (for what it's worth, I have 40+ years of successful racing
and tuning experience. my little 318 is quicker and faster than all but a
couple NA 360 Daks so it appears I must be doing something right.)

No, the most important thing is that consumers have "real world", documented
experiences to offset the marketing hype so they can make an informed
decision. If they choose your brand and are "happy", more power to you.
Just remember, I didn't bash F&B, I merely disputed your marketing claims.

Now if you aren't going to shut up, put up! Rent the track, have it prepped
properly, bring me your favorite TB and I'll give it it's best shot. One
of us is going to have to eat crow.
