    well, seems like you have a traction issue, now that it makes more power.
    "no, my uncle dad said its the tune"

    I feel like those still in that <35k category today either are doing this as a hobby or are eating out of a dumpster.

    you would be amazed if you saw the waste here. some of these people, especially down in newport beach, its crazier than where i live, they throw away soooo much good food. other stuff too. i see nice furniture, just sitting on the sidewalk, free for the taking... thrown away by its rich owner! Prolly nicer than you have in your living room right now. no kiddin. the cost of living here is insane.

    Would like to pick your brain sometime. Trying to pretty much do the same thing. Want to work for myself doing work and tuning.
