Well... like you have even said part of the process is machined which I believe is true from all modders... so yea that's exactly what I think is done to all tuned engines- part of it being modified by hand ya know, just like Rossi and Reds !! also hence "HAND TUNED" we see all over the place with Ielasi AS WELL as the pics of him working on engines by hand. I mean all of this really begs the question. Do you really think an honest business man and reseller would put blatantly obvious images of himself hand modifying engines on his public website as well as blatantly advertising his whole exclusive line as hand tuned- and not doing any hand tuning? cmon man
