So my Kelford 272s should be here in about a week. WOOT! Installing those along with some ARP headstuds and going to 23psi w/retune. Hopefully it keeps me happy for atleast another 6 months or so. Haha

Theres a guy named Chris. He lives up in Reno. I believe he comes down once a month or so. My car has had his tune on it for over a year with no problems and that goes for a few of us.

Yeeea I'm with Carlos. I had Doug tune my car and besides the CEL light not ever being able to be tuned out, the car runs great.. *shrug* I dunno. Some people hate him, some people love him. I think he did a great job for a good price.

that was tanner foust driving the X and I'm sure he is one of 3 people that could drive a stock X DOWN a ski slop and beat skiers down the hill. ... on stock all seasons.


As for Doug's dyno... everyone seems to have differning opinions. I have heard many good things and many bad things. Hell I've seen and heard bad things about a lot of tuners. I sent you a pm and I can also give you some good tuners if you want a good "break in " drive down to phoenix lol.

Eh, I'll play it safe thanks.I just heard he's blown motors and what not. I know someone personally who isn't running very well "possibly" due to his tune. He told me not to let him tune my car. I'd rather not turn this into a "I told you so" situation.lol
