I agree if the unhappy customer has not yet given the vendor a chance to make good. If they have, like in Imenace's experience....he contacted the vendor several times with no response. Whern this happens, the rest of us need to know. Not every vendor deserves an open forever fair chance once they start ignoring a customer with a legit problem.

As for the 1/4 mile times, you foucused on my stating ET. I didn't state MPH because I was speaking in general. MPH on most stock L's is 99-100 (at least down here in South Florida). So, to understand correctly, 425 RWHP is good for 12.0's at 112 with traction? I haven't dynoed since mods, but I really nee to get to the track.

 

The video and timeslip are right there on my web page.

Eric, why are you protecting him? He's clearly in the wrong and ignoring *HIS* problem.

And just for the record. I've dealt with him in the past on a ford product as well. The final tune was awsome. The road of pain to get there was quite bumpy. FYI

Just a pet peeve I have. We've all had issues with vendors, tuners, etc. I just don't find the need to publicly disgrace them. I mean if someone stole your truck and burned it, that's one thing. I just find it difficult to point someone out and bash them for a bad tune or whatever. Oh well, maybe it's differences in personalities.


Blown347Hatch,

By the way, 12.0@112 can be done very easily. I have personally ran a 12.0@109 with a 1.69 60'.

 

did it make good power???

 

claimed i was a hundred horse shy of every other stock truck he has ever dynoed. funny thing is i took it into the dealer told them it felt down on power and had them do a front end alignment so i didn't have to pay for anything it was covered under warranty. fyi you get a free front end alignment in the 1st x amount of miles cant remember the exact mileage though.

my dealer let me take a couple of other trucks out to test drive and mine actually felt quicker again this was dynodave not Jerry.

 

damn, im gonna have to take advantage of that first free alignment!!

Maybe dyno dave is inept at driving a car on a dyno? If he was dynoing in 2nd gear or some other stupid move like that it would make a huge difference.

My tune from jerry made 417 rwhp and i ran 12.90's at 107 blowing the tires off in 1st gear. The local dyno operator is very experienced and keeps his dyno in tip top shape, replacing all the sensors and cleaning and maintaining it meticulously.

A beat-up dyno that isnt working well is just as good as no dyno.

I can sympathize with your situation but accusations that Jerry was demoted and pirated ford software are untrue, and not something that is of your concern.

Sal is a great tuner and bends over backwards for people, I can only say good about him.

 

l-menace, call me at 407-774-2447. I am the only one at SCT who can resolve this for you, so we need to talk. Jerry has a lot going on, and he goes to a lot of different dynos and tunes a lot of different cars. Because of that too many people are contacting him and he's unable to respond. What would you do if you had several hundred emails a day coming in from people asking questions and trying to get their car tuned. For that reason anyone who has a communication problem with Jerry needs to talk to me. We can fix this.

I'm not going to argue with you Brian, I think you do wonderful work and I've spoke with you extensively regarding the eaton porting and you did a GREAT job. I'm simply stating my experience with Jerry.

 

I understand your frustrations, and I think we need to talk to try and work this out. But I do not think your accusations were justified or in any way apropriate.

I will also take into consideration your experience at that shop, and make note of it.
