In the APR 1740 thread in the RS4 section of Audizine, this happened yesterday:
[QUOTE=Justincredible]Exactly. Its hard to pass up Anything APR. When they have the biggest hp with the best choice in Roots style blowers you know its going to be good. Add to that the 3 or 4 years now APR has had a great run with the 1320 blowers. Its some of the best experience in the market. Top choise when it comes to this kind of blower choice. Best tuning best blower best hp APR nothing new.
Arin any idea on when we we will know the price and release date.

[QUOTE=S4Per]Lol, just lol.
Taking NOTHING away from APR. Just lol @ your true motivations behind this post…pretty transparent, JHMuncredible.

Wait…so he is complaining about Justin, and making JHM cracks after Justin paid a huge compliment to APR??? Where does he get the JHM spin? Where does he think there are ‘true motivations’. Justin complimented APR, who have had a solid kit in the 1320…and are taking a big step to a custom sized blower that will apparently be perfect for the 4.2 RS4/RS5/R8.
So Justin responds…
[quote=Justincredible]So sad. Sorry APR and the members excited for APR don’t suite your motives.
Unlike some my motives are quite clear. A great product The great results a Great advertiser and supporter if this community. In your post You seem so jaded at the success of JHM that paying a compliment to APR is making for a JHM post.
I think we all can see whats transparent here your post makes that clear. Maybe you missed this is an APR thread and I paid APR a compliment. Sooooo sorry I can’t pay APR a compliment in The APR thread without hurting your feelings. Maybe sell your unit and get the APR unit.
I’m sorry that the success of APR and JHM have made it hard for you to handle anyone talking great about there products. I like how I didn’t say anything about JHM but you still had to stretch to link that in there. so sad.

[quote=S4Per]The lack of conviction in your stated beliefs is what we’re talking about here…don’t think for a second it’s anything else. The 85% of the community who has been around knows exactly what I’m talking about. No need to kid, put up this façade, and thereby insult, any of them.
I’ll start another thread and clean this one up once I have it going. I’ll ask you to edit yours also after the fact (just the one after my response) so that we keep this one clean.

WTF is he talking about? He is lost at sea. Does he want Justincredible to rave about the AMVIVA kit that STILL hasn’t been officially launched anywhere? Is that why he is mad, because nobody gives a fuck about AMVIVA anymore? I am really confused. Had Justin actually mentioned JHM…or AMVIVA I would understand…but where is this guy flying off the handle from???

Then we get the classic. “OK I’m going to rant and then run away”. Just like he did before on AZ. Just like he did here on AR when he was taken to task for inconsistencies.
He’s talking about how guys aren’t demanding 1/4 mile times. Umm…has he not seen the discussions here on AR where justin and all of us have asked Arin about a schedule for hitting the strip? That thread is an intro/teaser thread for their 1740 kit. They haven’t fucking launched it yet. Suddenly we are hypocritical here and on AZ for not demanding 1/4 mile times? IF that thread said ‘GIVE US $15,000 and you can have our kit’ he would have a case. In reality? It’s early development and we’ve been shown a preliminary dyno that was excellent.
Last time I checked, when AMVIVA was developing their kit, jonathan cohen came on here, asked us questions, showed some stuff, and asked what we would want to see to launch the kit. We told him straight up, performance testing. Specifically an NHRA sanctioned 1/4 mile slip and various pbox data. Nobody said ‘you suck because you haven’t showed us quarter mile times’. They were still testing the kit (and arguably still are…it has been running on 93 octane for all of 2 weeks lol).
Want to know THE REAL REASON the RS4 dyno video was released???
The other half of AMVIVA, the back end of the horse, jason, decided that he would trash talk APR whenever possible. He questioned APR’s claim that they’re making 500 whp on the RS4. His claim was that APR took the R8 4.2 dyno result with the 1740 and assumed they’d make the same on the RS4. (Nevermind that they’re both rocking the same engine and in all likelihood the blower is going to be the restriction…that’s another story that shows how clueless Jason is). But to respond to that, Arin posted the dyno video showing/proving they achieved 500 whp on the RS4, not the R8.
Anyway, pretty pathetic guerilla marketing by AMVIVA. Jon Cohen needs some new partners. He’s even jumping into that thread looking alot like crazy angry Jason.
