Thanks to ccss3

I drove 364 miles to get a tune and meet James. Got there and found out my trifecta tune was really rough. like around 20% off on fuel trims and I was having a boost issue which he found quickly (thanks again James). so he loaded a base file on the car for 24 psi and it only held 20. So he came back and did a boost leak test and found my bov block off plate was leaking then off to tune. The car has never been stronger than it is now. He also installed my rotated mounts. I will say i have never been around anyone that is as patient and willing to help someone out over the phone and in person. He made sure i was happy with y car before I left. He was supposed to go home today but worked on my car for over 4 hours. I kinda felt bad about the price we agreed on and gave him more he did more than I expected him to do. Just wanna thank him again and let everyone know the good job he done on my car and he is a good guy. We all sit around and talked for a while and if it wasnt for a 6 hour drive home and my little girl being at a babysitter and me only sleeping 8 hours in two days and driving over 900 miles in two days i would have stayed longer

Thanks. all I did was sit in the passenger seat and hold the computer and pass tools lol. James really is a good tuner and will help you with anything. And if it isnt a good idea he will let you know. But will help you anyway he can.

It's definately worth it to go pay him a visit. I burnt less gas coming home than going up there. And was hauling ass going home

Once I get my tax money and decide on what cp and Ic to get, I'll be coming done to James for a tune. Looking to go treadstone with the Ic and cp or the injen cp and treadstone Ic. Any one have any experience with either of these?

i am in new orleans james and would love if you came down here!! wether you do or not, i think you are the man i need to see. Been having slight issues with the car and i can gradually feel it getting slower. Only worry is, my clutch is on its way out so if i tune and get this thing runing like a monster again, my clutch will for sure be gone. guess thats where the KY clutch comes in. do you install those too? lol, all ive heard is good things about you.
