CZ does have a valid point, so his response was warranted.

Well said Area, I gave up trying to work my way up by just doing tunes for certain people, but still support those who paid. Instead, I'm trying to get recognized by building some crazy projects (just finished a one-off turbocharged yamaha R1 to maybe compete in TX2K next year) and saving up for an engine dyno and chassis dyno along with an actual building to put it all in. I'm forging my own path, instead following in other's, with some luck, create growing business like Nelson Racing. It helps to know people too

Good luck everyone. Keep up the good work and tuning....

I'll throw my hat in this thread, hopefully also bringing it back on track before any lock-down occurs;

I have previously only heard good things about term;
I am starting to feel as though I am an "old timer" here by how long I've been posting (it seems to me that so many of the current active members only joined this site well after me) - I have also understood that Term gets pretty swamped at times, and do recall reading a thread or two about people wanting to hear from him and not getting a reply (or maybe not getting one prompt enough).

In all, there's just too much good posted about term to allow one or two people's negative experience to white wash away all the good... but that's just my opinion.

As a point of comparison, I used to be a pretty active Trifecta dealer when these cars were still new, and recall all the Vince bashing - but seeing first hand the happy customers and the great (for the time) dyno numbers seemed to make the Vince bashing seem rather ridiculous...

Things have changed though, it seems to me as though Trifecta has moved on to bigger and better ventures... The Cobalt's are old news now.

For HPT, I'd recommend KM043;
In my opinion he's a stand up guy - It sure helps that he's local too

And many of us joined well before you... This bashing has been part of this site since the beginning. Intense Racing comes to mind. Area has seen his fair share of fun as well.

It's just all part of the fun. Members come and go and most topics should be taken with a grain of salt.

This tuner bashing is getting really old. There's several gifted tuners on here. There's no way to say who's best without having every single tuner on this forum tune you and compare the results. Even that wouldn't be concrete proof. Dyno numbers aren't a tell all and neither are track numbers. I think it should be a combination of numbers, time slips, and drivability. But the drivability part is kinda subjective based on the owners preferences. I went with Term2 because of his track record with the ZFR. I had James tune me on the stock turbo and never had an issue and also had him start tuning me on the ZFR but I wasn't crazy about the drivability of that tune. After the switch, I'm thrilled with how my car is. I've always heard good about all the tuners mentioned in this thread. How about instead of bashing one and trying to push someone towards a specific tuner, let them talk to each tuner individually, discuss the goals for the car, and make their own decision that way?

I have seen people come, and people go. it's a never ending cycle. I see it here in KC as well. People go to who they want, no sense in pushing or pulling people either direction. Warnings should be heeded and researched as well. There is reasons why they are out there for people to view and make their own choices in the end.

05-06 2.2L Trifecta is about it. But that's a small amount of cars anymore.

I just dont appreciate it when I get called 'kid' by someone who was still in coloring books when I rebuilt my first turbo on my boosted j-body.
First off, take it easy. I never once said that YOU made the post. Others did and I subsequently commented.

Secondly, yes I called you "kid". Big god damn deal. Only those who are insecure and feel as though they have something to prove would get worked up over nonsense such as that.

Third, yes, I am indeed older than you kid. Think twice about that little coloring book comment.

My LNF Was a beast when Term tuned it. At one point I was running 30 psi on the ZFR on E30, stock clutch and stock motor. The car never missed a beat, and it was an awesome process.

My only complaint with david was sometimes he took forever to respond lol
