Trust is not something that should be given or withheld based on what other people have to say - unless you trust those "others" very much. Now, in terms of what people say when representing themselves, that's a little different. :-)
I have heard good and bad things about Jeff. I've met him (he was seeking to have the head porter we used on our R&D project do the head for his project S2000). Talk with him, examine his work, then make your decision.
As for the Vortech stuff, I agree with jzr, wait and see.

[B]jzr, what other variables are there that could make the gains only half of what vortech claims.
A blown F20C making as much as a blown b18?

Could just be they are using a cheap dyno like a "Mustang". If they were using a Dynojet there may some significance in the post. Also note that there is no baseline dyno number. For all those that quote dynos or post plots; get back to the basics! Dynos do not give specific numbers which a relavent...too many variables. But if you have a baseline run and environmental conditions remain the same the relative effects of a modification can be measured. Here they simply can't be.

i've dynoed at IB and i got 184, thats with spoon n1, injen cai and oil topped off. For some reason i think that their machine gives a lot of inconsistant numbers. my cousins stock b18c5 only got 150 to the wheels over there. if the vortech sc really puts out 240 to the wheels thats f@#$ed up!

Anybody who has been around since the start of the forum knows how well Atomic did tuning their Turbo for the S2000.
