No, but that thread is one of the reasons I went to Ed to make my car right. There are several threads similar to that, and after some research and reading, I just can't trust VA Speed to touch my car.

Glad you got it worked out though
OP, have you tried to contact VA Speed and see what they have said about your tune?
If they have done you wrong and you have 100% proof then you should be entitled to a refund of your money.
I am also a person who likes to hear both sides of a story. Somebody needs to send them a link to this because I would like to hear what they have to say.

Yeah thats crazy man!
I'm glad you got in touch with a good tuner tho. If only i wasn't so far, I would have Ed tune mine. It sounds like he is very willing to help make things right, and obviously enjoys his job or he would not be doing so much to make sure it is spot on. Big Props to Ed, bc not many tuners out there give a damn about the tune, or customer. All they see is $$$.

Don't want to hijack the OP's thread, and am very surprised that VA Speed would let something like that get out their door. Hate to hear stuff like that.
Since you are in Indy, Mike Norris moved his business there some time ago and he is a VERY competent tuner, so you should contact him if you need to get your tune optimized,,,,,hope this helps.

Hey Jimbo,
I understand where your going with that. It doesn't make any sense why such a high reputable shop would let that happen, but then again when things get hectic or busy... You never know!
And Yeah, I know mike norris well. He is a great tuner. I was planning on using him for mine already. I've had good luck with him in the past, but I was just refering to Ed b/c I like how he took that extra step to insure things were right. Thats an A+++ In my book. And I take it he can tune anything! ???
I was thinking of going with E85, and to my knowledge Mike does not tune for E85. But if I stay with 93 octane, I am def using Norris. He's a great guy! No complaints here.
But thanks for the Heads up Jimbo!

I my self was wondering why no one VA Speed has chimed in, usually when someone of here start slinging mud the sponsor usually pops up pretty quickly to air their side of the story if they feel the poster is not telling the story truthfully or leaving out an important detail.
What really gets me though is that this thread has nearly 1000 views and not one single person has tried to help VA Speed.
Seems a little fishy to me that he used to work there and now he is contacting Va. Speed customers and "fixing" there work.
Just sayin.
Who knows maybe this was just a flux and something fell threw the cracks who knows, but its sure not making much of their case when then wont even come in here and acknowledge what happened or what the op's saying.

Unfortunately that wasn't the case, and I got said garbage "tune".
Also, if you had met Ed in real life, he's a damn nice guy. He genuinely cares about his customers more than the almighty dollar, which is a rarity nowadays. His philosophy is customer satisfaction first.
