Aww how sweet you gave me a nickname. I'm not talking "shiz" just saying maybe you shouldn't be selling your so called services to anyone since you're obviously not capable. And Chris, don't kid yourself, nobody is threatened by you in any way shape or form, princess.

You may have hacked away on a handful of evos over the past couple years, but for you to even be considered mediocre at best, maybe you should stray away from your 4hr road tuning sessions and focus more on the science of tuning, meaning instead of just throwing in a jdm mivec map and adjusting the fuel to look like a retarded monkey slapped the keyboard, use proper equipment to analyze and interpret data. Maybe your wideband is garbage and its throwing it all off, I don't know. But the fact that you prefer road tunes over Dyno tuning is in itself a joke. Sure, proper road tunes are good for getting a vehicle running and even making probably 80% of its full potential, but what person in their right mind wants a vehicle 80% or even 90% running at its potential? And then to say "oh yes, Its tuned" is just plain dumb.

has anyone heard of scaling injectors properly?
I have now fixed two cars that just wouldnt run period unless you reset the ecu everyday because their trims where so far off.
Doug your tunes make power and thats great, I have looked over alot and their is some cool stuff in there occasionally but every car I have seen had some round about global scaling number in there. The cars driveability sucked. They went good but for a DD I couldnt do it.
And there have also been 2 that have been REAL aggressive on E85... 9* at peak torque on a stock 9 turbo is pushing it. But hey.. the car still ran and didnt blow up so maybe you know something I dont.
I have read enough to see what is good and what is not, some of your tunes are a little wierd but they make power, Chris's tunes look right at the expense of a little power.
No biggie at all.
I dont think I have heard of a car blowing up coming from either of the tuners so I guess that is good enough for me.
Both have had monster cars come from both of them.
Anthonys car made rediculous power on Cams,TBE,100octane.
And there have been alot of E85 evos come outa dougs making near 400/400.
All I have to say is Chris has always helped me out and is a great guy, always there to help, and goes out of his way to do so.
I have not personally dealt with Doug so I could not really say much on that I do know that he has helped quite a few people as well.

I've dealt with Doug a handful of times and even seen his work on a couple cars, both times not only was the map correct looking but the power graph was smooth and correct. It's pretty obvious he knows what he's doing. I've been tuning for longer than the evo has been in the US, I've seen what works and what is nothing more than hype, and I understand people are going to do as they please, but IMO charging people for doing things incorrect and half assed is wrong

Welcome to the American way, where everything we hold most sacred was built by the lowest bidder.

I'm not talking about buying a cheap knockoff (unless that's what you're implying Chris' tunes are?) I'm talking about a service performed. It's the equivalent to you taking your car to get aligned and them charging you but now, not only does it pull to the right occasionally, the lugnuts were left loose. When that shop was advertising, and people you know were gonna go there, would you keep your mouth shut, even if you did save a couple bucks there?
