I do. But he's not on this forum all that much, nor has he had personal issues with anyone here that I am aware of. I do still think he's a kool-aid pushing guesser.

HC bothers me becuase he proclaimed himself as this mechanical engineering genius with his parellel twin turbo setup. I read up on it after he put it up for sale and the first thing that got my attention was (after him not knowing how to tune it and having needed to take it somewhere) and this is paraphrased here
... ahem
You need to datalog everything and know how to interpret it (this I whole heartedly agree with), if you're not datalogging, you're guessing
(fast forward)
I can't get the engine to idle worth a crap. My L's are perfect, my egt's are nice, timing is great, EMAP is 11psi (as soon as he said this it basically completely reaffirmed everything that I thought of the guy) I don't get it, blah blah whine whine...
(fast forward a little more)
Thus and so at the turbo place that I am taking all the credit from says that 11psi of EMAP is too much at idle (no fucking shit genius) so we swapped from a stage whateverthefuckmarketingscheme to a differentwhateverthefuckmarketingscheme turbo hotside and now I have (i can't remember the number but it was a dramatic improvement) and now the car actually idles.
Without seeing his porting or taking any of his engines apart I can't really comment on his engine building abilities, but his tuning and turbo choice leaves alot to be disired from what I can tell.

I don't understand why some of these people have such cult followings
