I didn't have a vacuum leak. One of his shop guys didn't like my PCV nipple and replaced it with something he had on hand (without asking, by the way). Janetty is in no position to speak authoritatively on this subject because he didn't see the before/after on the impromptu mod. He busy inside making me and another couple stand around and wait while he posted on forums online and ordered out food for a couple of hours.
That 10 AM tune appointment turned into a fiasco as he botched the couple's Corvette tune, blamed it on their NGK TR-6 plugs, charged them several hundred dollars to acquire stock plugs from a local dealership, and ultimately still couldn't diagnose/fix the problem. The shop contained 100% irritated/unhappy customers by the end of that evening. Ted made a great big scene, screaming outside of his shop when I brought the car back while his wrench monkeys sneakily tried to send me on my way by greasing my shifter linkage. Professional, my ***.
If anyone thinks that reading me pick apart Janetty's recollection of the facts would be educational, let me know. Otherwise, I think the facts are pretty well-known, and I don't particularly feel the need to argue this out with him for the third or fourth time.
By the way, I don't have HP Tuners, so I can't read that file, but I believe that my rev limiter was set to 7,000 because a) Janetty told me he set it there and b) I hit it a half-dozen times. Everything else regarding the tune (like the knock sensors that were disabled) is based on Slowhawk's diagnosis. It's not worth starting a war between two shops, but it would be interesting to get the backup from Slowhawk and compare it against that file for authenticity.

In Fact he just stopped by and ordered a Supercharger for his Vette, and Asked if we ever heard from that Crazy guy who blamed us for the clutch he installed himself. LOL.

And your tactics of attacking a paying customer are extremely unprofessional regardless of the circumstances.

I have nothing to add other than the fact that your typing/grammar alone throws your credibility in the trash. Once you're able to correct that, more people would take you seriously.

I like Fuzzy, but by the same token, if he calls out a vendor, he should expect to be challenged. Like Jannetty said, his reputation was attacked on the internet, and it will sit here until the internet dies. Also, it's a total red herring to go after someone's spelling. I don't expect car guys to have impeccable grammar or spelling.
It's not the same as changing jets and turning a few screws on a carburetor. To each their own, but that's my opinion. Everyone reputable I've talked to about tuning (locally at least) has always seemed to be very well educated, not an old school racer that can read a plug easier than a book.

I have HP tuners. I have messed with my cars using it. You don't need outstanding grammar to use it. The numbers/tables don't care what your grammar is like, as long as you put the right numbers in. I think it is easier than tuning carbs. I have done a 55 Chevy pick up with a SBC and a 500cfm holley and that was a huge pain when adjusting for altitudes after movingfrom a few thousand feet to sea level.
I'm not taking any side here, I'm just offering my 2 cents. Having done both I prefer using HP over the 'simplicity' of a carb, which can be anything but simple.
