So many of those names I remember and wonder what happened to them. 40rty, baltbitch, omiogear, etc, I know what happens to sox fan and few but most I have no clue. Who was the guy who had the pic of the black ss that was taken on the Texas motor speedway as his cover photo?

I haven't been tuned yet. I still have parts and HPtuners sitting in my room from last Black Friday. But I'll use kmo to tune me. I've been on this site since 2009, so I'm just sharing some of the stuff I know man. If you want to use James, go ahead. I think most guys here would advise against it because they don't want you to have issues. Simple as that. They don't have some weird vengeance against the guy. They just have experience.

I'm pretty sure he was banned for other reasons. But the information is out there for you to make a decision. Just remember, the advice you received about your first tuner wasn't wrong.

He was a complete and total *******, thats why he was banned. If you didn't agree with him he would verbally attack you. He also tried to say he designed the KY Clutch kit and all kinds of other bullshit. He was another who copied and pasted tunes from others, no idea if he ever worked out or learned how to tune without insulting others (given his behavior on fb he hasn't grown up one bit). Nothing was ever his fault, always something else.

I dunno man. A guy who is banned from a forum for doing bad tuning is pretty far out. Am I hearing lies from all these people who are telling me about how they got tuned, ran into problems, found rakes and he fixed the tune for them? Have you heard about the clutch he designed?

I've met James and while he may be a little juvenile at times, personally I don't have issues with him. He takes pretty good care of the guys he works with. I can say by reading some older threads in here and being around the sight before he was banned, there were some issues. There were times when he didn't quite follow through in revising tunes leaving some with cars that didn't run as well as others. There were discussions in some of the threads that involved multiple tuners and James didn't fare well when it came to knowledge of what to do with the tunes to improve them. He also suffered from setting the cars to "kill" because the owners asked for more power, which eventually blew the motors. Any of the tuners on here now will only go so far on the tunes, as to not run the risk of the engine failing even if customers asked for more. My tuner has done great with my car and I'm happing I have no torque spike, and there are some safe guards in the tune to keep the motor and trans from popping.

look i was tuned by him when i first got my lnf. lets just say 10k miles into my tune the transmission completely took a **** on me. come to find out the tune had boost sooo spiked mid range i deteriorated 3rd gear. granted thats the gear that usually always goes but i went 95k on and off of 93 and E47 withoug a single problem from the tuner i recently had. His ego is what gets in the way of him. its literally RP tuned or bust. he treated me like an ******* when all i was doing was trying to learn about tuning and my car. everything i asked i got a short answer or he was being a dick.
His reputation that he has on facebook is becasue hes got young punk kids coming to him for tunes who know about nobody else who can tune. so he sits there soaks in the money those young punk kids praise him like hes a god and does no harm. if i had a facebook i would speak my opinions and probably be blocked from him or something because i know how he works first hand.
Look im not telling you what to do, but just like i said yesterday the guys on here know what they are talking about. the facebook community and the forum are 2 COMPLETELY different communities. if you want good solid information and advice from guys who will tell you straight up with no b.s. on whats going on or what you should do then come to the forum. if you want one sided tuning advice and young kids who know nothing and just ramble on whose d*** is bigger then by all means go to facebook.
end rant.
