^ I just rather hear an un-biased opinion. Like your first response here. No offence at all, Don, but when people come off as cocky, it's a HUGE turnoff for me. But on the contrary, I don't want someone who is flakey or indecisive. I just want a confident impression of my tuner which was what I got initially at J&M. If someone is cocky, I am more apt to shop around a little more. And the whole thing would be a 6 hr round trip for me to go out there and back. Not to mention how many times I would have to do it in the process of the tune. It just sucked that this needed so much other work.
After my experience with them, no fukin way would I go back. But I HAVE to now to pick up my MAF that I forgot to grab when I was there last, but watch it "walk away" between now and next week.
I got the corrected numbers and it was 436/402, but the a/f graph is WAAAAAAAAAAY out of wack and this asshole gave me EVERY excuse in the book to why he can't add fuel down low. "Well, I can't add fuel or it will chug and not run right." Then tells me that my 42# injectors are still at 50-60% DC??! That don't make sense with the 255 pump either. I mean this was a dangerous lean spike which carried well over half my power band... he said "Well, everyone wants w perfect boxed af graph and everyone is gonna bitch so I just tell them to fuk off. I was watching the o2's when I did it. It's fine." Which doesn't make sense if he's so paranoid about it leaning out at 13.7, but he lets THIS fly!?!?!? Fukin HACK sofb I want to smash his fukin windows, but his insurance would cover that. They're parts catalog shopping hacks.
I just wish there was some way to recoup some of my losses.
And as far as the wheels, I'd do a set of C5 ZO6's EASY, but those would prolly be about as much as mine were anyway. Mine were cheapo AR's @ $205/ea.

I'm not expecting to "know what I'm talking about" in a month time frame. I just want to get a grounding for the different aspects, so I can have a little bit of a knowledge base.
I'm gonna be stuck in CT for a while now, so I'll be around. Figure I may have you tinker with the car sometime late this year if all goes well. If not sooner, especially if my a/f graph is all fuked up like it is.
I don't want to post it because I don't want to hear that I was "wrong" with my tuner choice. Live and learn.. This was just a very expensive life lesson...... again..
