    Ben Linney is who I've been talking to and going with.

    Lotta email tuning and remoting in at the dyno with him as he tunes these cars all over the world.

    I'm going the Cobb Accessport route. 91, 93, E85 and a Flex Fuel Tune.

    Ecutek is the other GTR tuning platform.

    Stay far far away from those jokers......they have absolutely ZERO clue on how to tune.

    They wasted months of my time, countless hours and a ton of money! Their just a bunch of young kids that dont really know what their doing.

    At this point I plan on using PRL or Switzer's Dyno to fine tune.

    He did my initial tune which was great, then I changed a few things and needed a re-tune so like a dumbass I gave Early Performance a chance to tune it as they were basically begging me to do it and offered me a pretty good deal. Well giving them the car and letting them have it 4 separate occasions to try to get the tune right they were unable. The couldn't get the car to idle, kept stalling, ran so damn rich that the back of my car was completely black, the drivability was garbage. Early Performance blamed everything under the sun for their tune garbage tune....tried to say I got bad gas, my fuel pump was going out, that my cam was to big and it wasn't possible for it to idle, etc....

    I finally cut my losses with those jokers and like I should have done initially went to Ed Hutchings and with one single emailed tune with NO datalog for him to go off of, he nailed the tune down 1 billion % better than the clowns at Early. The car idled perfect, never stalled again and wasn't super pig rich. Ed was able to nail the tune down 90% finished and car runs fantastic on 1 single try while the Early jokers had my car for weeks and couldn't get the car tuned whatsoever.

    Lesson learned......DON'T GIVE UNKNOWNS A CHANCE!

    Sorry to hear that. I have been in your shoes a few times.

    By the way they act at the FLDs you would think they are all godly or something. I was paired up with the blue eclipse in the finals, cant remember the owners name but he is part of the shop, a few years back and got the..."No one can out launch my awd dsm bla bla bla." I drilled him at the light then went up in smoke and a little sideways. I gathered it back up only to run him down enough that I think he used his nitrous because he blew engine parts all over the track." Boy did he give me a dirty look afterwards, like I made him blow his car up or something. That was one of my run in with these guys that I remember best. Might be because it was my only front row seat I had to watch engine parts bouncing all over the track.

    Not sure what happened but the cocky attitude before the race made me think karma. I am sure he will say other wise. lol I am the kinda guy that loans out his tools and helps another people get there cars working so I can get beat in the next race.
