The guy who was all over this thread but looks like he deleted his posts here too. The thread on 2gf is confusing mainly because zal deleted his comments from the thread. It's this withdrawal that concerns me, I did not think I said anything that bad about the stuff just that the jury was still out. I did become a bit more firm in my last posting but it was mainly because of the insinuation that I was somehow disparaging brian when I am really just looking for firm data.
I understand your position Fomocosho but I do not agree, if your research is available on the public internet it is by no means proprietary and should be shared IMO. I am an old school internet geek from all the way back to the early 90s and Fido net when things were MUCH more academic. If the information is available and you refuse to share it then it makes the validity of any claims suspect and rightly so IMO. If your information comes from protected sources then I do understand but if it is public out there already what is the big deal?
I will be interested to see how things turn out for you.
I am not looking to stir drama but I am interested in truth data and facts, if truth ruffles some feathers I do apologize but I would rather ruffle feathers and out the truth than let people potentially harm their cars.
As I said in the 2gf thread the volumes of AcesIV are so low I could practically pee in my tank 1oz per 6 gallons or pour pure nail polish cleaner into the tank at this ratio and not notice much of a problem. So I am not worried about the Aces harming the system but I really wanted to see it help (and as I say like a broken record I did see it help on the fiesta, just not much of anything on the fusion yet). The issue I am seeing here is this sudden retraction of posts by one of the products biggest adherents and one of the main reasons I looked into this stuff at all. The re-stating of marketing information and then deletion of multiple posts when challenged even a tiny bit smacks of something fishy even if it is not at all. Perception HAS been affected even if that was not the intent.
As stated before, I intend to continue to testing with the last of my AcesIV however with what I have seen today I will not be putting BND products into my crankcase or drivetrain until I have satisfactory information from Blackstone.
Fortunately for me, as evidenced by my modding this past season, I DO have the extra discretionary income and a 2nd car to have the luxury to try out exotic fluids. At one time AMSOil was considered exotic and I tested it for 2 years with blackstone. I just don't understand why the expectation seems to be that one should be all hush hush about what they are seeing unless it is amazing and even then the results should be quoted in highly subjective unquantifiable terms like how much soot is on your tailpipe. We are a community and provide information to help each other out. Testing products is part of that, why should it be any different for BND than it is for Boomba, Steeda, Levels, Livernois, Unleashed, etc etc etc?
Also, no phone calls from Brian yet, it's a holiday weekend so I will hit him up on tuesday.
