Re: Products that dont work (Holden)
I once had a clutchmasters clutch stage 4. I was chirping fourth gear with a stock motor w/boltons. 3months later the pressure plate fell off while i was driving to work. Destroyed the trans. Clutchmasters blamed it on the installer for not using loctite on the pressure plate bolts, but the installer was a clutchmasters sponsered racer (Ross Esposito RIPP MODS) he blamed it on a faulty product. Anyhow i was beat out of a new clutch that lasted 3 months, and had a beat trans to add. Also don't ever buy anything from IMPORTPARTS.COM, the sales team has been poorly trained, if the have been trained at all. Unless the owner is there the other employees don't know how to make a sale. THATS IT

Re: Products that dont work
Well.
I have a list. A list from tons of experience.
I stand by why these products just suck.
This is all my opinion....don't take it to be fact.
ACT - Probably won't buy one ever again. I blew 2 up in 2 hours. 1 on a single cam. It literally exploded. The brackets fell apart. Poor quality, on the ones I have used.
Magnecore Wires - Nothing but problems.
AEM - Probably the worse company to deal with if you ever have a problem. Horrid customer service, angry on the phone, don't return calls, just don't give a crap in general about shops that sell their stuff, like mine. (used to sell it, no more). AEM EMS works but is a piece of garbage. It takes more money in time, than the unit costs. And thats just horrid design.
AEM Cam gears are just rediculous lame. The bolts strip easier than any other professionally made cam gear I have ever seen. And they are the most expensive!
PRODUCTS THAT ARE SUPERIOR TO OTHER PRODUCTS:
CM Clutchmasters. The best damn clutch period. Period. Soft pressure plate feel like stock, but the stage 4 can handle well over 400 WHP and grabs, and lasts a long time. Never seen one fail, ever, personally, but saw 1 person's fail because the thing was installed wrong. CM....you can't go wrong. The best clutch period.
JE pistons. GOod customer service, good quality pistons, readily available.
Wiseco Pistons. Our line of pistons is really, really good, and have proven to make more HP than any other piston we tested so far.
Portflow head work: Definitly the most professional head porting we ever encountered. Fast service, clean work, good results.
ATS: Friendly service, good products that work, a decent price.
Quaife: Also nice products.
INJEN intakes. : nice guys, good service

Honda Transmission.
If your garage is a tranny graveyard, and your motor outlasted many of them, then you knoe.
Any reputable company (website) that can fully rebuild transmissions??

Re: Products that dont work (dustin)
Notice I said it sucked because of the time it takes to learn and tune.
Not because it did not work.
Heck, if you got like 40 hours to play with it, and you don't lose money from the obscene amount of time. Then its for you.
But if you want the same tune in only 2-3 hours, with WAY better product support and cheaper price + you can actually diagnose problems.
Hondata is your ticket.
