I also received three updates at the track on Sunday walking me down from 10.5 to 10.4 and to 10.3 all at over 138MPH from LR.

I am not saying Ken doesn't know he what is doing. I am providing the BACK STORY on why I said it would be a step back :headbonk:
Just because you said it doesn't mean its true is my point. All my pass were 140+:D

AT 7500 feet DA all I will say. Your source is no secret. Still went 141!

We both know FI isn't altered much by the DA.

I will post my 142+ slip for you when I turn it up to 15psi :ninja:

Thanks for the sentiments about the car but there is a back story most of you are not aware of.

This is to elude to what I said when you would be taking a step back:

When Ken was with Lund Racing before he got fired, you would have had the opposite experience you're having now. There would be weeks without reply or care for customers that were being tuned by him that LR was working on diligently. No courtesy response while busy or anything to fill in the blanks people were left with. The only reason he's "working hard" now is because he was fired for being a lazy ass and has to put food on the table. Amazing what smoke and mirrors will do for this industry. So don't forget that you're getting recycled Lund tunes that were stolen and are being updated.

When the plate gets removed from your table and you're forced to eat on your own then the situation looks a little different to outsiders.
Ken was my tuner at Lund, which I why I stuck with him when he departed. His service is why I stuck with him and not Lund, not to say that Lund treated me poorly, but I wasn't happy with my original tune until Ken took over, not to mention I was spoken to like a small child by one of the Lunds, no big deal, just enough to get under my skin. Also, my Lund remote dyno tune yielded an 11.2@130mph, after a few of Ken's revisions I went 10.5's at 134mph, same boost/fuels/wheels/tires.

Aside from how things went down, of which I have no idea/dont care, no one is touching his results on the S550. That's not to say that others can't get it done, but his weekly Facebook feed has more 9 sec S550's then this entire forum, it's overwhelming.

At this point, the selfish side of me doesn't want to recommend Ken to anyone, because of how much time and energy he puts into supporting his customers. I'd rather keep him as a secret, let everyone else get their tunes from Lund :D

I don't think you can quantify who he the most 9 second S550's based off a Facebook feed lol that's just ludicrous

So at the core you're using a Lund file that is tweaked for your data logs

Hell I tried to run against a KenB tuned whipple car that is owned by someone constantly making digs against Lund but hmmm nothing happened

We are all entitled to use who we want and that's what keeps us competing. I will gladly put my car where my mouth is to back up my stance all in good fun:thumbsup:

Not like I'll keep up since you went to the turbo dark side :paddle:

I don't think his intention was to make digs at Lund. His issue was Lund didn't want to give him a more agressive tune that he was looking for. I see Lunds point of view in the matter. Totally get it. He went to Ken to get more of a custom tune, geared more towards what he was personally looking for.

You think Ken stole Lund's tunes? :lol: He must be stealing them every day because a new 8-9 second Whipple, TVS, Hellion, SBD powered S550 setup keeps popping up. Again, I've used BOTH tuners so I'm a little less biased then you, not going to argue because it's definitely a good idea that you stay with Lund. Lund is very competent, but I guarantee you that if he fired Ken then I bet he wished he hadn't now, because there is a definitive shift going on.

So because a few cars with essentially the same setup use the same tuner there is a definitive shift? I'd say that's a big statement with minimal data to back it up.

I stay in communication with several tuners so I wouldn't call my stand point bias but more based on direct input from these people.

I respect your decision to use who you want as well all have our choice. There's a reason he no longer works for them and I can assure you it wasn't his choice.

Well so far you're the only person on this entire forum that believes that, or at least is comfortable posting about it. I'd bet that you obtained that info second hand through biased individuals, unless you're saying that you heard it directly from Lund. Is that the case? In all honestly I could care less, I'm basing my opinion directly after dealing with both, no comparison. Lastly, you are sadly mistaken if you think Ken needs anything from Lund to produce his own results.

Did you say you stuck with Ken since he was your help at Lund?

I'd be willing to wager you don't unless you are putting a converter in it.
