I think you'll be better off going up to NJ to CARTEK (a sponsor>>>>>) The shop "f-body central" has done me wrong a couple of times. I wouldn't recommend them to anybody. Jeff aka grannyshifting I beleive used to work at f-body and went on his own. Both guys (jason and jeff) are good people but all of there work the've done for me has been real shady.

For those of you thinking I'm talking trash I'm sorry but I don't want anyone else going though the crap I went though with them .

I absolutely agree with the statements about FBC, but not about Jeff. Jeff broke away from them b/c he didn't like what was going on. FBC actually hands off their things they've F'ed up to Jeff to see if he can help. Jeff is a great guy and will help you in any way he can. He does most of the tuning for the MD/VA area actually. If anyone knows ATVRacer (you know... the guy that won the LS1Tech shootout recently at MIR), guess who tunes his car... Jeff.

OOOOOOOOh somebody that agrees with. Jeff is a cool dude but the work that was done for me by "FBC" he was working there at that time and he helped on my car. Just hope "FBC" didn't rub off on him when he left.

I concur, but it wasn't the working staff's fault (at least not Jeff's). It's a completely different mindset that Jason operates under. Let's just say it isn't a well run business with the backbone of ethics in mind. At any rate, if you or anyone else wants to PM me about my experiences and recommendations feel free. Back to the thread and other people's suggestions.

I know jeff personally tunes two 9 second cars(shiz and atvracer) and 2 mid to low 10 second cars(me and native-1). I can say that no one is perfect but there is no tuner better in Md then granny and he defnatly has the cars to prove it.

me not hitting the 11.50 mark is more driver/suspension error than anything else. And you know this....

11.77@120.1
11.64@119.70

Both times in 1200-1500 ft of air

Yep that's me Jeff. I'm not gonna hide behind a computer screen, You know how I feel about the way I was treated at "FBC" when you worked there. And I don't want anyone else dealing with the same crap I did.PM me your number and if need something I might give you a ring. Ken
