Now now Smitty. Don't put words into anyone's mouth. 
Here's what was said by Speedwake:
This thread has been closed and a number of merit-less posts made in an attempt to discredit and cast doubt on a highly qualified and well respected engine builder by a few garage mechanics with limited experience have been deleted.
If you have a serious legitimate question I fully support you when you ask them in a dignified and professional manner but when a member (a non supporter at that) whose true identity and motives are unknown, calls a supporting member and respected advertiser's post a bunch of BS, I draw the line.
This type of behavior will not be tolerated and if any of the offending parties try it again, you will be immediately banned.

I thought it was a difficult read back then. Now it is a joke!

If fraud is indeed proved then I wonder if Jeff would reconsider
the bans?

------to take advantage of their pocketbook. Just finishing your sentence. Having been a person that has experienced the full sentence mentioned above, I sincerely hope that the newbe performance boater reads this post before investing his or her monies into "centsless" spending. No, my experience came at the hands (or mouth) of another Speedwake lurker.

5 or 6 years ago when he emerged with his OUTRAGEOUS hp claims that were never backed up by having a boat actually gain speed anywhere close to what he claimed he posted a dyno sheet on Speedwake. When we did the math based off his bsfc/lbs per hr numbers we figured out his OUTRAGEOUS 20+% correction factor he was using. When confronted by long time members about this he cried like a biotch to the owners who declared that "no backyard mechanics would be allowed to dare to question a paid advertiser". Several people got banned from there, I left on my own as I could see there was no integrety and if lies were allowed to be perpetuated then I wasn't wasting my time.
I haven't been back on there in years, I'm sure he is still trying to find "new" customers, I'm not sure how many repeat customers he would have, Smitty

I really hope he tries to defend himself. No way. He KNEW exactly what was going on, and he turned a "tool eye" and did nothing!!!
My point is fellow members, guys like Roccard exist when they are enabled to do so by Internet site owners and/or moderators.

Bingo. Spot on Smitty. Left that site without shedding one tear. Did not truly know the meaning of the word "Tool" til getting to know the site owner. He did introduce me into a new business theme, "Paid Falsehoods".
