I was just up at BYT two weeks ago. He does great tunes. He told me he is no longer on here because a few people pissed him off. So if your one of those people maybe that's the reason. Or maybe he is on vacation like most people like to do once in a while.

Ya so he turned a round and pissed off a freaking ton of people that never did anything to him gj

OP look elsewhere for your vehicle needs unless you are close enough to him to drive there and stir his shyt up cause that what it takes with him sometimes

I'm definitely not one of those people since I haven't even met him yet. Car was tuned by him from a previous owner. Just because he's pissed off at some people here doesn't allow him to ignore emails, disconnect the phone and not answer voicemails. If he's on vacation, posting it up on the site, Facebook or voicemail.

Definately go somewhere else, I had so many problems with him. All the mods on my sig were installed by him. I had a problem with every single thing, plus last week my clutch, master and slave cylinders broke because of unproper installation, another 1k in the garbage. He promised to do other things that I needed to get done, and he never ever responded me once anymore, after he took from me over 2k just for labor. By the way, he kept my car for 10 months because of some mistakes he made. So, avoid staying months without car and no responses, and I would suggest to look for someone else

Same here, looking for a good local tuner but don't know of any around here. Thinking I might get remotely tuned by James in the near future or I might buy hptuners and learn to tune myself.

If anyone is REALLY interested in getting a tune, I can try and get something worked out where I head down with Gremlin85 (John) for a weekend and we get everyone squared away with tunes. PM me if anyone is interested. If there is enough interest I will make a new a thread for a meet up day sometime soon.

I had a bunch of work done by Nick including a tune, he seemed decent. I threw a CEL directly after and now my tune is running real rich. I cant even get in touch with him to fix it. This pisses me off considering money I gave to him for the work. He seems like a good guy, but just takes on to many customers on his plate and doesn't finish other projects hes got going on. Overall I wouldn't recommend him just for the sole purpose that his communication sucks, which is a major thing to me as a customer.

Not trying to thread steal, but can someone help me out. Since I am tuned by him and since I'm now done dealing with him. I'm looming for a new tuner. My biggest issue is he has my tune locked and no one can get into it and flash to stock. But what I'm looking for is a tuner in the PA/MD line area near York County PA that can tune to stock and give me a reasonable price an a good tune. Help Please!!
So let's get gremlin down here to tune a bunch of us. Probably going to want like 5 people at least to make the trip worth it.

What code are you throwing, you know it could possibly not be the tune, a sensor could've crapped out.

From the sounds of it the Trifecta needs to be taken off and then you can get the HP tuned. Nick did a bunch of Trifecta/HPtuners overlays and the computer locks itself out to anyone.

He doesn't have a shop. He works out of his garage at his house. He's in east stroudsburg. Come to our meet at the end of August/early September if you need a tune. https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/nort...eet-up-283846/
