John is easy going and down to earth, he talks to you with respect and treats his coustomers like they were long time friends. John does not "talk down to" or get cocky attitudes when asked questions. Instead he replies to the questions with enthusiasim and tries to give the customer the best answer possible. It seems John's sole mission is to make his customers happy and make the tunning experience enjoyable. I would absolutly recommend John to anyone looking for real results and unsurpassed customer service. John has restored my hope in EVO tuners because untill I had the pleasure of John touching my car - I was absolutly disgusted in my prior "choice" of tuner. I just did'nt know how disgusted I was untill John made the first pull on the dyno. I'm almost ashamed to say what my EVO 9 put down on the first pull. I have the following mods: AMS intercooler/LICP, WORKS DP, Helix HFC, Espiler cat-back, Forge MBC, Injen intake/UICP. To John's surprise, and mine, the first pull was 231awhp. I was pissed that not even 2 month before, I paid "the other tuner" 300 freakin dollars to make my poor car SLOWER than a bone stock EVO 9. John worked his magic and instantly got the car from 231 to 278awhp. He then had me put the fuse in for my meth injection and I ended up with 347awhp. I have an MR and John made the pulls in 4th gear instaed of 3rd like he did for the regular 5 speed EVO's. All in all I was blown away by John's ability to get me almost 50awhp JUST ON HIS FIRST TRY. John is IMHO an awesome tuner. I can't wait for him to return so I can get my new mods tuned. Pretty soon I will be installing a set of Kelford 272 cams, and FPGreen turbo. I can't wait to see what John will be able to do with these new "toys".

Another happy Jestr tuned Evo owner. He is hands down the most knowledgeable tuner with the stock ECU. On top of that he is nice, and treats you with respect. And what beats all, he will return your calls, PM's and emails. Imagine that???

Was Jestr tuning able to tame your idle with the 272 cams ?
How does your Evo start ?

I have 680cc injectors with HKS 272/272 cams on OE gears. Cranks on the first "bump", and does not lope enough for me anymore

Zeus,
It was just a question... I certainly didn't mean anything negative.
The reason I asked, is because I have some 272 cams, valve springs/retainers that I have not installed yet.
I'm thinking about getting a getting a set of FIC 650 injectors too.
I just want to make sure that I'll be happy with the car. I'm currently
running an Xede which I am very happy with.
With all that said ... I just want more power without giving up drivability.

It runs, starts, and idles great with the 660cc injectors and 272 cams. Jestr has the injector scaling and latencies down, so that makes running with larger injectors easy for him.

Like I said, if anything, the car is no longer as "lopey" as other tuners I've used in the past. Which I personally kinda like a lope, as long as it does not ever stall.

Zeus and TURBODAWG ,
Thankyou for answering my questions.
This is looking real good.
I'm very excited about this.
It looks like I'll be contacting Jestr tuning in the near future.
I wouldn't mind a little lopeyness as long as the car doesn't stall.

Zeus,
thank you for that excellent write up! sounds like Jestr really knows his stuff and cares about his clients. i truely believe with tuners like Jestr and AMS out pounding the pavement those "other guys" are really going to have to change their attitudes or get out of the game.

However, I'll give up the lope for the power!

Yep! John is the perfect example of how to conduct business in a polite and professional manner. Ultra slick. Not your typical smack talking hot rodder. He likes to let the results speak for themselves it seems... Awesome.
