Ya he or they I should say they have a Legit shop its a small shop but a Shop none the less But he isnt returning my calls. Like I said I will make a You tube video of it with this other guy calling it with what he finds in the Programing. I already know its all messed up.
It will be a sales pitch for one and a Shut down for the other!

Like you said you cant take peoples money mess something up and not make it right.

I have spoken with other tuners and all said I should be 425hp neighbor with the mods I have made with no detonation problems. My Block is stock with a mild Cam, Heads ported and polished Plus an improved LS6 intake and long tube headers. My GTO with same intake and the exact same heads non ported & factory cam un-tuned with stock exhaust was 400hp!

I suspect this guy Has my fuel map all screwed up and my timing way off.
I also think he shut off my Knock sensors as when I scanned it with my computer I couldn't see a signal for them. Basically the kid some how got his hands on a used dyno self taught himself to program cars and is running a shop doing it. I really beleaved he knew what he was doing live and learn.

I'll be interested to see what the next guy figures out with it. If you can't do the job you shouldn't be in the business.

That doesn't sound good, hope you have a quick and full recovery. I keep hearing that you only get mild symptoms if you're vaxed. Doesn't sound like it :rolleyes:

Yes I have been vaxed, Still not 100% but I feel a little better today, Not sure what it is? as I couldn't get tested locally. 100% FlU like symptoms Still have upset stomach, body aches minor chills.

Just Talked to Companey Doc called me :shock:
He is was worried about me I guess or so he says :roll: and I told him I was feeling better but still not 100% hes worried if its Covid it could still come on strong and settle in lungs.

:shock:

HMMM Hiding out in the house for now


Still disappointed in the trip being cut short that was a lot of overtime I was counting on for parts for the Bird project. gonna have to rethink what I wanted to do now.
Was planning on a New 12 Bolt rear end and a Munci M22 thats probably not gonna happen now

Happy to hear you're feeling somewhat better. Bummer about the loss of some overtime cash but health is more important. Hope you keep improving.

We've been camping a fair bit, only got a few things done on the Stang. I got the hipo exhaust manifolds on yesterday, talk about a tight fit. Those stupid shock towers are massive. Should have probably cut them out and went with the Mustang ll rack and pinion setup. Oh well, this will work.
Also reupholstered the rear seat and stripped the front seat frames. Need to prime and paint them. Not looking forward to the upholstery work, new foams will make it tough to get the covers on

Ever strip a seat and find plastic in between the vinyl and the cushion? I have.

Take some light weight Plastic and Bag the seat and new cushion make it air tight and use your Air conditioning vacuum pump to draw a vacuum on it before putting new vinyl on over the top Simple! then Hog ring that sucker!

That's the way the Upholsterers do it.

I tried finding something on YouTube about that but nothing came up. I get the jist of it but not sure about the details? Saran wrap kind of plastic or? I don't have an air conditioning pump.
I like the idea of the cushion being slippery not sticky

Actually now that I think of it the Stang seat has a back panel so it's just a matter of folding the corners over. Much easier than having to pull a cover completely over it.
