Thread: TPC "Sneak Previews"

    Original "UNEDITED" Resolution letter sent to Mr. Condon
    Good afternoon Justin,
    I want to personally thank you for your business last year, which has contributed greatly to the success of my company. As a company, we grew leaps and bounds based on a lot of lessons learned from your experience. We focus on carburetors now, and do it very well. I understand that a lot of our growth was to a degree at your expense, and I want to make it right.
    Through “***boat.com” I have become aware that you are building a supercharged BBC now. Congratulations! This is a great, logical next step to your passion. This addition warrants a re-calibration in order to maintain proper air-fuel ratios under boost. This combined with the far greater concern of our commitment not being fulfilled to you as a customer I would like to offer you a deal. Let me first explain some of our new modifications and changes.
    TPC Racing has begun to offer many new innovative services and features to our carburetors that have been quite successful in increasing the horsepower as well as show potential for the motor they’re destined for.
    One of our newest additions is the Braswell B-series step-cut booster, which enhances the venturi vacuum signal, and while keeping the added benefit of running a drop-leg style booster. This modification alone warrants power increases throughout the mapped fuel curve by improving the atomization of fuel as it enters the intake, thanks to the improved design for fuel shear. This service was not available to our Stage 3 overhaul at the time you utilized our services.
    Another craftsmanship and finish advance has been the addition of our local metal finisher to our team, who has succeeded in elevating the “pimp” factor of our carburetors exponentially.
    We have also dramatically increased our in-stock inventory, and no longer rely on outside sources to fulfill our clients’ immediate needs. Justin, the days of not having floats in stock are long gone. We have a full complement of floats, needles and seats, jets, and other assorted parts that serve to provide more emergent parts delivery if necessary.
    The most useful advance we have made in the last several months is a blueprint reference of each carburetor. To the layperson, most of the modifications we make are just drilling and de-burring. In reality, we are making sweeping changes to the actual way the carb is metering fuel, and enhancing its ability to deliver over the entire curve. TPC is now offering a manual that includes every single modification we have made to a carburetor, which should prove invaluable for future modification and tuning. Every metered part, every passage is cataloged and recorded in great detail, leaving you, the consumer with a 100% accurate vision of what is in your carburetor.
    Without any further delay I want to offer you the option of having your two TPC Racing carburetors updated with our recent improvements at no cost to you.
    This forced induction application/update would include all new gaskets, weighed/balanced 2X4 race floats, Braswells B-cut booster (standard on 4150 forced induction applications), powdercoating of the mainbodies to your color of choice (over 30 colors available now including candies and translucent), new needles/seats, and a blower fuel curve at that time will be mapped and plotted utilizing your existing metering blocks and new BBC cam profiles.
    Another added benefit to accepting this offer is that your primary PV circuit will be boost referenced and documented on our new TPC blueprint package now offered on all Stage 3 builds and provided to you free of charge. I know you mentioned last year about upgrading to an HP/Proform body to improve the balance of airflow and enhance the performance potential, if during the time of updating your carbs you wish to implement this change, then by all means supply me with the bodies and I will incorporate them into the modifications. I will also thoroughly remove all the old coating material from the stock bodies so that you have good solid universal cores for future plans.
    I trust that your interest in this offer will alleviate the frustrations you may currently have on getting those two carburetors up to speed for a blower application, but rest assured your experience with this worthy update and us will be greatly appreciated. What I will need from you is this:
    “Completely” filled out calibration form online at our site.
    3-week turnaround time on the modifications.
    Color choice for the mainbodies
    Shipment of the two carburetors (dry) to our address.
    I offer this to you free of charge. I am 100% committed to your satisfaction, and want to see you grinning ear to ear when these carbs crack open for the first time on your new blower motor.
    I am confident you will take me up on this offer, and I look forward to fulfilling our commitment to you. Please let me know of any other material shortfalls you were expecting during our first dealings (i.e. fittings or hardware) and I will include them with the finished carburetors.

    Hey Ty, you still going to camp next to my van down by the river? If you do, could you bring me some Trident Performance Carb stickers so I can get a couple more MPH (I saw that in a thread somewhere)?

    Wow You are all full of Piss and Vinegar today! eek! Better than being full of shit I suppose. I think I may have confused some other stuff in that last post, but I don't know what. This working all day is killing me. It has wrecked my diet, my self-imposed alcohol ban, turned my brain to mush, I think I need to quit as it's become detrimental to my health and overall well-being.

    Hey Ty, let me make it simple. You like to cloud the issue with shit loads of text and cheap $.25 words. Two questions?
    What does all that shit about corrosion and water in my fuel have to do with you returning carbs to me with bad, and untested floats?
    Why is it that after I rebuilt them myself, they worked just fine without ANY OTHER changes to my setup?

    I guess I'm a little late here but here's my .02 on the issues of moderation of this thread some have expressed interest in seeing done.
    It's a tech topic that now includes a disagreement of 2 parties (still on a tech topic), so I'm not moving it.
    I have no problem with debates of issues like this until they result in what I call "dead horse beating". I encourage all to express opinions and respond to each other as long as there's some new and useful info being presented. When that ceases to be the case and any tech thread deteriorates into a name calling flamefest that's of no benefit to anyone, that's when I'll lock it down. Just like SD does in the vdrive forum. This is a tech forum and it's content should remain as such for the most part, and also of some relevance to the reader.
    With that said I think both sides have been pretty well represented on the subject so further re-hashing of the same info will be interpreted by me as of no benefit to the tech readers and I'll lock it. If you have new info though feel free.

    Boy I'm glad I stumbled into this one.
    TPC has worked wonders for me on both of my set ups, a 750 and 850. He has provided help to me several times, including while I was on my boat on my mobile phone trying to tune the carb them. As I stated what I was doing, he professionally was telling me that I was incorrect, and he was right in the end.
    He helped one of the biggest pains in the asses (per my wife) getting my boat from running well to absolutely great. Keep in mind I run a 454 26' jet and getting this beast running great is a task!
    Ty never once backed off, nor did stopped returning calls or emails, he offered to replace parts if needed as well.
    I can speak from over 25 years of boating and God, countless hours of working on motors and I know of only three or four folks who would bend over backwards like that, and Ty@TPC is one of them.
    As I have stated before and will proudly exclaim again, I'm smoke someone to hell if I get screwed, but I'll be as proactively to state my satisfaction when is well worth the effort, and Ty @TPC as well as Tom@jetboatpeformance is an example of companies that I have found on this board and I'll use time and again with confidence for my boat.

    I don't know Ty or Justin, but it seems to me like someone willing to actually go for a boat ride to attempt to line the problem out would be an example of good customer service as opposed to being told to pull the carbs and return them for further inspection. Being an automotive parts rebuilder myself, I know no matter how much attention to detail you give to every job that comes through the door, occasionally you will have a dissatisfied customer, and no matter how you try, they cannot be pleased. I am not taking sides here, just saying that an easily fixed problem ( in this case bad floats)ends up in $1500 worth of carbs being thrown in the trash.

    I don't even want to talk about it any more. There is too much bad blood and verbal damage to Ty and myself. I hate this kind of thing and it doesn't belong here. I've had a sick feeling in my stomach all day. I don't want anything from Ty. Ty, we're done. Lets agree to disagree and both be men and not look back. I don't want to see you at the river and have it feel wierd. If the ***boat webmaster deleted everything related to Ty and his carbs and everything Ty and myself have said, I would consider it a late birthday present; and I'm sure no one here would miss this kind of juvenile thread one bit. Peace Ty, and I hope some day we can make amends and have a beer.

    Not to step on any of the moderators, but that looks like a good out point. I would let something like this run a little more in the sandbar, but this is a tech forum so it is getting locked before we get buried under a mountain of .02 cents.
