SSR, I appreciate you coming on the forum...but you should keep to the timeframes etc. that you set.

[QUOTE=MazdaManiac]Equally ghey.
Bad video, bad audio. The camera man was obviously scared to get too close to the car while it was loading up. I wonder why
Becasue I wanted to get the whole car in the frame.Trust me dude I am not scared of dynoing cars.We have a 1250whp shop Supra that has been on the dyno more times then I can count.
Mine took half as long to get to redline, too!
It is because we loaded up the car on the Dyno dynamics.You cant do that on the Dynojet.

BTW if anyone doubts the results feel free to call The Dyno Shop 619 562 3933 which is an unbiased shop.
Also when you guys have questions with our kits, we do take the time to answer each and everyone of the posts individually. Our customer support is unparralled and so far we have a 100% happy customer base since we actually take the time out of our days to do this for them. Does Greddy do that?

Thats more than we can say about PTP that doesnt come on this forum anymore, AEM, that doesnt come on.. Hmmm
Let's just be more appreciative of what they can give us and not complain about the quality when they do. I am excited about seeing any dyno or any pictures at all....

SSR maybe hasn't met their time demands, but they have stuck around despite the criticism. That's some sort of dedication to be dilligent with us as they have been.
I for one am anxious to see any additional information that they can provide.

Why is everyone getting on SSR's case about their kit? First it takes too long for kits to hit the market and now the kits that are here are being criticized? Regardless of if you would personally buy or use their kit yourself, just be thankful that there is more than 1 company providing us with forced induction for these cars. First we don't have any kits and people complain. Then we do have kits, but people complain about them. What's it going to take for everyone to be happy? If you don't believe their claims, your entitled to that. If you do then great. Simple really. Personally I'm going to use the axial flow supercharger. I don't care if it's the fastest or the slowest alternative. It's just what I want. I'm glad that SSR has any turbo kit for this car now. The more options we have, the better.

Same thing in some other threads with ITO, everyone asked him to prove what he said and I think he never did.

The difference between that thread and this one is that this one actually showed you some results. You just don't believe it. If they show you the results again, will you believe it then?
I am personally still working out how it is possible to get their power numbers from such low boost since it seems impossible from a physics standpoint. This is not to say they didn't do it. For all I know there is something else that effects the equations that I am not taking into account. The math always works but this also assumes that the variables were correct. I still can't get mad at them for producing a nice kit that makes good power. I only believe uncorrected numbers on turbo cars as they are the only relevant ones. Even so, this kit still produces the most out of any currently available kit.
Cut them some slack.

The thing is, sometimes it happens that if you are happy with whatever someones show you , they will not have anymore interest in showing you more stuff. I want a turbo kit, I was going to buy the Greddy because it seemed that we waited weeks for the 292 whp dyno (which they havent posted yet) but it seems to deliver good power based on some videos that they posted today. I am going to wait some more time now. Now the thing is, i gotta be convinced it is reliable and worth that much money. When they do convince me with facts and figures, I will throw my money at them.

I would like to say thank you to SSR for realizing that a few impatient people do not reflect the whole mazda community. Take all the time needed to put a reliable kit out. If I am not mistaken, wouldn't a few greddy owners have been better off if the kit had a little more tuning time in it before it launched. Patience pays.

One thing I'd like to point out is that the kit's don't come raw, they actually come with a satin finish which is no extra cost.

I'd trade satin finish for a way to FUEL it
