Let me see if I understand this right. Jeff, who is an employee of FBC, lends you HIS pulley to expedite the work on your car. You have a complaint with Jason the owner of FBC. You refuse to give Jeff his pulley back. Your a thief.

Jason is a good guy, and FBC tuned my car. Runs OK for a 3500 lb M6 car. Jason offered to make it right, and you act like a tool holding the pulley as ransom. You suck, plain and simple.

All I have to say is that You go there to add to ur car and everything and something goes wrong, most of the time they wont charge you to fix it.

Ex: I had a 97 T/a and installed LT's and kept blowing gaskets and blew about 3before I went ahead and got copper gaskets. But they replaced it free.

but now i have a 00 ws6 with LTs to come soon. Jeff

Also like said earlier in the post you really shouldnt come on a nationwide car board and post bad stuff about a Shop that does Damn Good Work.

No one is saying FBC is gods but when I look at your situation - I gotta believe the problem is you.

Check out some of the ET's on the cars that they've worked on. I would put our MD/PA/VA boys up with some of the fastest in the country. Jason, Jeff and the turd burglars up at FBC have ALOT to do with that and certainly know what they are doing. They've gone above and beyond for many, including myself to make sure things are to the customers liking. Not to mention the MANY extra hours they've worked during the nights and weeks before track events so their customers can represent as they are intended.

As for their tuning, I tried several tunes to get my FMS 228/230 to idle smoothly. Finally took it up to FBC (actually it was towed - lol) and Jeff worked a damn miracle on it. She started right up - found 900 rpms within 3 seconds no matter what the tempature was. She didnt sound like stock but she ran closer to stock with an 228/230 cam and a FBC tune then it did with my old TR224 cam that they didnt touch. For his tuning, Jeff has been getting accolades from ALOT of high rollers in the LS-1 scene for a long time now and he is only getting better apparently.

When I strap my big *** in my new ride and decide it needs a little tweaking - it will be heading up 695 to FBC

But your car only ran 123 like that Fireball, I thought it was a fluke it made 444! j/k

I did forget Brians.

I dont think I work miracles, but I know alittle bit. Maybe not all apparently? but working on that.

I think it was an artifact of gearing...not sure. I did have the 4.71s in back then

Sounds to me as if someone doesn't really understand the process of tuning...

as far as FBC goes, Jeff did an awesome job tuning my procharger setup...and did it quickly too. They have a ton of cars in there, and a ton of tuning business..but only one Jeff. I realize it's hard for him to schedule things, but they are always willing to try to cater to the customer whenever possible.

Goinbroke, i think you're being a bit childish here.

You guys don't even know the whole story, so don't act like you do. Like i said, i am glad you all are happy. Good for you. I am not. Will you eat **** and pay for it. I don't think so. I thought fbodycentral was a buisness. I run a buisness, and if i make mistakes, i pay for it. Thats how it usually works. Did you not hear me say i will gladly give the pulley back in return for a refund. I think that is fair. Do you all have families you support? If not you would not understand the value of money. And if you want to race me, i will gladly race you after i get correct tuning otherwise i will get smoked. I will gladly show up for the transition of refund+pulley. Is that a threat. Who is being childish.

I forgot, what about the atap logs you were supposed to send but never did. Before all of this crap happened. How many months ago was that?

By the way, the car takes 10 minutes to find idle. With a ed wright tune on my old setup, It idled right away. Good tuning.

a stock tune will find idle right away with a 222/224 cam. Poor analogy

Let me get this straight, you were waiting on a pulley and jeff loned you his then yours came in and now you have both pulley's? I think your lucky I just bought a pulley, if I knew this I would have bought the pulley your holding ransom from jeff and got it from you myself. If you want a refund for your tune then go up there and let them pull there tune out and put the stock one in, thats how it works you just cant hold **** for randsome and trash poeple without giving them a chance, it doesnt matter what you say about FBC cuz everyone can see that your an idiot, you totally went about it the wrong way and pissed alot of poeple off from fbc but I bet when your out racing you wont have the ***** to tell everyone your screen name in here cuz you know you will get your *** kicked

Who the hell are you people. I don't even know. Leave me the **** alone and let Jeff fend for himself. Oh and there are plenty of sponsors on this board that i won't mention, who say the same thing as me. They say they would expect to give a refund if they could not do their job. I would not be the one who worries about getting their *** kicked.
