Default Tuning and the truth

When at first you don't sucseed try,try again.

Now someone here said I couldn't find the OBII port, wrong.

Here is the facts I couldn't find the command to shut down the rear o2's in Flashscan it was the firt time I even opend the program I didn't load the searial # and **** so I didn't know how to do what I needed to do.
I did find it the next day but didn't tune the guy's car because he wated to get gears and an underdrive pully first no problem for me. However, I did buy a WB for the 200 I was going to charge him but now that I got the wideband it's going to be 375 if he is still interested no more favors for anyone.
When I first got edit I didn't know how to use that either but I did get it eventually and ran 12.6 with a stock motor and a catback.

that beats some of the other guy's here with there cam's and headers so I guess that would upset some that paid good money and got less. Oh well not my problem. And I can detune my car when not racing at the track. that means mild timming so no desensitized sensors messing up my motor.

No I didn't say that, I said I run better times as compaired to some with the same mods that had their car tuned by someone else, professional or not. It's not rocket science ya know.

No I got mad at you when you opened the subject about me not kowing where a port was, I asked you three times in a nice manner but you just continued insulting me so that's why I can't stand you anymore. So keep out of my threads and things here will go fine go bother someone else.

Ya know I spent like 5 hrs mounting a y pipe on that guy's car just before I started fumbling around with a program I never used before it was like 9:30 Pm before I even turned on my laptop. Took me that long because of 2 snaped bolts on the manafold flange I had to cut them flush with my tourch, yea slag burnt my ***, then drill it out 1/4 thick steel X 2 no lift. but I got it bolted up nice nice he liked it especialy the price $50 **** I used gas both in my truck and my toruch, two new gaskets I had at my house for the new pipes I got for my Hawk and scratch the **** out of my back on that newly poored floor.
Also, HE asked me if I could turn off his rear o2's. I didn't say hey I can tune your car for ya fo x amount of cash Dave was the one who brought up the fact that I tuned my car then he asked me. So I didn't want to take a chance of getting the O2 shut down wrong and mess up his car. I'm not that proud to admit I was confused and that's what I told him. I could of just clicked that clicked this said pay me and straighten it out at a later time but that's not how I would like to be treated so I didn't do anything.

And all this when I just wanted to go and watch Dave change some plugs and chill out for an hour before my nice and nephews bithday party, which I missed, oh and your welcome I'll get that last pesky 10mil nut on the coil pack for ya since you couldn't get it to do your plug change, so I guess I'm a big jerk hu. You understand why I got so pissed now I wonder who told yall bout that day anyway? D ....A.....V....E...0..0..S...S ?

oh yea dave tell your buddy to come get his jackstands out of my truck before someone walks off with them. I'm not driving an Hour out of my way because he forgot them in there not my problem.
