And...

1. The CAPS lock is broken on your keyboard?
2. You want us all to call you?
3. You think this is a fiberglass 10-step program and you want us to talk you off the ledge?
4. You're waiting for Jake to call you... the Jake who is in the hospital with his Dad right now?

here's the deal. ss came out with some pretty wild claims regarding horse power and a fi system that he was going to be offering. making what i presume is your system, appear as his. when a price was pinned down it was high. no further info and the system just fell off the map. then ss's rep and actions drove him into a hole, and your system followed him down the passage. he can't sell anything unless it is to an uninformed/unwary buyer. if you're comfortable with steve, that's your business, and i can live with that. just as i can live without your fi setup as long as i think that ss is still associated with your co. the idea that ss would profit as much as $.01 on a purchase of your system, means i will never have one. too bad.

edit: re the caps thing. i'm sure the pooper lurks. he may have contacted bugman and bugman is just telling him outfront. i'm giving bm the benefit of the doubt.

absolutely nothing ...

but you've gotta understand, steve has fucked over a few guys here in a really, really bad way.
we don't take that lightly.

we have kicked him to the curb and made his life miserable.

and we would do it again if we had to ...

Mack...

If'n I was you, (which I aint) I'd delete this thread and start over.

Steve's not here. (in my best Cheech and Chong 'Dave's not here' voice) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif)

Guys, I think that what he is selling is a great alternative to the current FI we have.

DStar, please read your entire "fact finding search"...the word court is on there..or course other things will come up...

I look at that response from DStar and say WTF, shame on you...(I edited this line)

Bugman, show us your stuff, tell us how we can get great deals on your FI setup...tell us how easy it is to install on a type 4...

What will I gain in HP???

Hi guys,

I just spent an hour talking to Bug Man. (Mack)

I PMed him yesterday and asked him to call me if he wanted to.

Tonight he did.

We spoke primarily on three subject matters.

1: Stromberg
2: His EFI system
3: Both of our backrounds in cars and such.

On number 1. He told me the story about how Stromberg "came to him" to set up a type 4 package. Then Stromberg fell of the planet. Thats all he knows.
OOOPs: EDIT. Apparently Stromberg sold at least one of the Emerald sytems to someone.

On number 2: I already had done my homework on the Emerald EFI system for about a year. There is much to read about the system on the net if you choose to look yourself.
And he is a Jenvey dealer for you Throttle body guys.

On number 3: This fella is a Englishman.
He has been around cars for most of his life.
We spoke about EFI for a long time and his experience with not only the Emerald system but others too.
He knows the guys at State Side Tuning in the UK. And they have a pretty dam good pedigree themselves.


Bottom line for me is that he is "Who He Says He is".
He isn't a Stromberg agent or anything else. Just a guy that was trying to bring this system to the aircooled world. And thats all.

I believe he is straight up. And he spoke ZERO bullshit.

And I like him... Neat guy.

So Fellas. Wrong, right or indifferant. Thats my read on Mr.Bug Man.

Regards,
Clayton

sounds like he got (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif) 'd too.

[azbill]

I'm the one that (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif) sold the Emerald system too. Mack stepped into the middle of the F***ed transaction. I finally got the system. That was last August, since then I have had Ron Grider tear down the so called engine I got from you know who. I have replaced or reworked EVERY part S**tHead installed. I have stopped counting the money I have spent to put this engine right. If it wasn't for Ron, Jake and Mack I would have been screwed blued and tattoed.

I wish some of you guys would know and check your facts before you start putting BS. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif) deserves everything said about him and some more as far as I am concerned.

ah man, Bill (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) I was hoping that ss was doing yours right being that he was taking pictures and all. That sucks.

Hey bug man, way to roll with the punches (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welcome.png)

[Twystd1]

Hi Bill,

So how did your engine combo come out?

What do you think about Macks customer service?

And what do you think of the Emerald system as a whole?

And if I can help you put (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif) in jail. Let me know.

Regards,
Twystd1

ahem ... just FYI ... this is all PUBLIC info!

anybody with a internet connection can look that up with 3 mouseclicks ...

well, four...since I had to connect to my linux box. I did even post that it was public info....all I was trying to do is verify that the site wasnt just another SS coverup, since he's done that too.

For awhile, a few of us ran stromberg checks, to make sure people knew where he was...kinda like the Convicted Sex offender list.

anywho, You definately are *NOT* stromberg, and your FI system looks amazing. I'm still a bit partial to MS, only due to me being a computer geek.


anyway, Welcome to the club, and please tell us what's included in your kit.

[rhodyguy]

there you go. the pooper is out of the picture, and we can deal directly with emerald. post about your product(s) in the "Resources, Parts, Products" forum.

The engine is in the final stages of reassembly. I replaced the crank the one I got looked worn. Connecting rods were sloppy on the crank I sent them out to be redone including a complete balance job. All the bearrings were replaced because the provided bearrings were of questionable quality. Heads replaced with Jakes speical brew. The heads ss have 48mm intake & 36 or 38 exhaust values. I didn't order a racing engine I want a hot street engine. The heads will be for sale details will be in the listing. Cylinders were not honed - all screwed up, had a machine shop hone them. Sent out the cmplete crank assembly for balancing. Replaced the cam of an unknown profile with a Jake cam. I used the ceramic lifters. The valve assembly was questionable. Value assembly was replaced with Jakes swivel foot system. Cylinder shims were uneven and deck heights varied - new shims. The supplied case was filithy. I decieded to used my orginal case. I have cleaned the un-numbered case Had it checked and it is good.

The Emerald system looks good. I'll post about the system when it up and running. I need to get the engine completed, relocated the fuel pump, install the 911 master cylinder, new interior, gaged cluster, and dyno setup the emerald system. When I have all that done there will be a complete report (good or bad) for all to read.
