...keeping in mind that most peopel tend to do only simple bolt on's I think the jist of what I recalled was correct;

even in THIS thread, of the 42 "M62" cars listed - you can go all the way up to position #19, and still see 201ft/lbs...



Morning!

So is anything happening on the weekend of the 21st?



... because this guy will be there.

Great so far! I've talked to chevycobaltss3 and decided to go with him. He seems like a great guy and I like that he replys to me super fast. So I pulled the trigger last night. Sent him my current tune. He revised it in like 20 minuites and sent it back to me. Then I found he has a newer version of hpt than I do. Got the updated software and went out at like 1am to try it out lol. Sent him a log back and he sent me another tune this morning but this time wanted me to do a 15 minuite log. So I did one while I drove to work lol. I was having torque steer in 3rd gear! None of the afr has been touched yet just timing

I have no doubt he is a good tuner;
the only problem is that he comes off a little full of himself - and if you in any way post and not being on the exact same page as him, you're subject to scorn.

There are several good tuners to be found here...

Yes I have heard that, but I hear he does a great job as well. as long as he does the tune awesome then i don't care about attitudes or cockiness.

I know what you mean - but look at what he's doing just from Dustin's last post - he'sreomte tuning;
1) send to une to "customer"
2) customer installs tune, datalogs, then send datalog back for update

this IS what I do with Trifecta - but he jumps on the "bash" Vince/Bash Trifecta bandwagon soo much ~ while seeming completely ignorant that he's doing the same thing.

.. but I agree with you.

And I'm glad Dustin's got the hook-up.

I don't understand people complaining about Vince not responding. I send him emails i get a response pretty quickly.

Kind of like when people say cobalts are garbage when they had one bad experience with one

Oh it does.

In all fairness. I dont get rilied (SP) up about which tune is better (trifecta vs Hptuners) its when these guys attack Vince for whatever reason they can find, when Vince in the past has extended his help and knowledge to the HPT community. Even at a point offering HPT files with Trifecta to unlock more tables for clients, He has never once came on here to bash HPT tuners and so forth.

That's what grinds my gears.

I've got no say about Vince when it comes to Trifecta. I'm just bored haha. But I must say in the last 3 days I've been dealing with James he's been sending me revised tunes as fast as I can get him logs lol. He's been great to deal with and has helped me a ton with learning to use HPT. No complaints at all so far.
