thats bs........Ask him the real story behind that.
He has been tuning LSx motors for a long time and knows what he is doing.
He has been tuning my car for 2yrs now. 120+ 1/4 mile passes, nothing ever broken.
There are 2 other GTO's making 600rwhp on the stock motor, both tuned by Jeremy, he knows what he is doing.
He tunes a ton of GTO's also, no problems from any of them.

Thats correct. In this particular case...what broke in the motor? Lets see the dyno sheets that show the pulls past 7300 rpm. What was said before hand about the customers preferences on how agressive the tune would be.
I have personally seen jeremy tune 100's of cars over the course of about 5 years without incedent...including my own 415 solid roller speed density motor. All my nitrous motors with dry nitrous retard. An RX 408 that I did the nitrous system on that made 870 rwhp without a hitch, a stock bottom end Z06 with some custom raised runner heads that made 480 rwhp and spun to 7100 (at customers request) and so on.
Obviously this motor was highly modified and any number of things may have happened.
Many times the tuner is left holding the bag because he is the last one to touch the car when something happens on the dyno. Id say the majority of the time those failures have nothing to do with the tuner.
I have seen guys blame tuners for trannies coming apart on the dyno.
So all you guys that where planning to get tuned with Jeremy go right ahead...he knows his stuff. Just be sure to discuss your strategy and needs for you combo with Jeremy before the tuning session. Jeremy has the most experiance of any tuner in Florida IMO and he can do whatever it is you need.

The internet is funny.
As far as I know Jeremy did not get fired from Revx, nor did he blow his car up on the dyno. I talked to him today while I was in Gville and he told me that coolant was leaking into the engine and trashed the bearings.
Another thing, who's to say he's at fault. If I go in there with a 400 shot of nitrous on a completly stock engine and tell him to tune it, is it his fault that it goes south. The guy's been doing this stuff for awhile. Never heard a complaint at all until this one. As far as pulling the "God" card that's retarded to even bring up. I think a christian is more respected person. I mean typically if he would have started cussing back at him and crap would that have helped things. I think not. So people get mad at someone being a christian yet that is how they want to be treated. Some people just can't be made happy and will always point blame at others. I would love to hear Jeremy's side to this story.

Id just like to see the damage. This was an entirely new combo. Could have been a dropped valve, busted spring, P to V contact due to not enough clearance since obviously it was a huge cam etc etc etc etc.

From the way he is talking though it HAS to be the bottom end since it blew because Jeremy took it too high in the rpms.
Probably a case of someone using stock springs on a large cam.

I'm not advertising for anyone. I wouldn't let Tom, Jeremy or any sponsor of LS1Tech, ZO6Vette or CorvetteForum tune my car.
I guess that's what I get for looking out for my fellow LS1 enthusiasts.

First, wanted to say that I just joined here frm the other site. I've been over there for awhile.
I've been involved w/Drag Racing in the NHRA all my life. My Father raced Top Fuel for over 20 yrs. I'm currently lic. in S/C and TAD.
I'm sorry that this post involves a neg. aspect.
However its my ZO6 that Jeremy pushed to hard and the motor let go.
Let me first say this : JEREMY KNOWS HOW TO TUNE A CAR ( He got the car w/good driveability and the car was making good power )
His problem is he PUSHED THE CAR TO HARD! Period. He kept going for more and more and more - 6 dyno pulls on the STOCK BOTTOM END W/50K SPINNING OVER 7000RPM SOONER OR LATER WILL FAIL...I drove the car normally the night before and drove it to the dyno - no problems. The car was mechanically sound. He knew the bottom end was stock but w/his passion to get more out of it each pull, he failed to realize he was going beyond the motors stock bottom end limits.
After the car failed on the dyno he told me he was going to help me and started calling around for a replacement shortblock. He had the Rollback wrecker come and pick up the car and I was confident that he was gonna BE A PROFESSIONAL AND @ least replace my shortblock.
A few days passed and I did'nt hear back frm him??? Finally, when we talked I asked him to work w/me and lets get through this..He agreed. I asked him for JUST A LS2 BLOCK AND A FORGED CRANK AND WE COULD CALL IT A DAY!!!!.......He then told me that this was not his fault and these things happen and also that he needed more opinions. He wanted to talk to my father for some unk. reason??????
I WAS SHOCKED AND STILL AM.... Diplomacy failed and I begged him to please work w/me...HE WOULD NOT AND HAS STILL NOT CONTACTED ME...PERIOD...
I'm the customer and did nothing wrong...and showing unprofessionalism he still WOULD NOT MEET ME HALF WAY!!!! I drove a good running nice ZO6 there that I spent alot of money in the H/C upgrade and left on a rollback. Period.
He also pulled the "God Card" and said he could tell I was'nt a Christian...
Well Jeremy you still have'nt contacted me.....I'm no longer dealing w/this situation. It's out of my hands.
You know and I know that you pushed the car to hard and YOU NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! THAT CAR WAS COMPLETELY IN YOUR CONTROL AND YOU PUSHED IT TO HARD UNDER YOUR WATCH...I HAVE ALL THE DYNO CHARTS AND GRAPHS TOO.
I really don't understand why you would'nt work w/me...Oh yeah one more thing ref. THE GOD CARD...
People that pull the GOD CARD are usually the people THAT GOD IS LOOKING FOR!
You have no honor or buisness sense.
I will prevail!
ps.
I'm still waiting.

I've been involved w/Drag Racing in the NHRA all my life. My Father raced Top Fuel for over 20 yrs. I'm currently lic. in S/C and TAD.
I'm sorry that this post involves a neg. aspect.
However its my ZO6 that Jeremy pushed to hard and the motor let go.
Let me first say this : JEREMY KNOWS HOW TO TUNE A CAR ( He got the car w/good driveability and the car was making good power )
His problem is he PUSHED THE CAR TO HARD! Period. He kept going for more and more and more - 6 dyno pulls on the STOCK BOTTOM END W/50K SPINNING OVER 7000RPM SOONER OR LATER WILL FAIL...I drove the car normally the night before and drove it to the dyno - no problems. The car was mechanically sound. He knew the bottom end was stock but w/his passion to get more out of it each pull, he failed to realize he was going beyond the motors stock bottom end limits.
After the car failed on the dyno he told me he was going to help me and started calling around for a replacement shortblock. He had the Rollback wrecker come and pick up the car and I was confident that he was gonna BE A PROFESSIONAL AND @ least replace my shortblock.
A few days passed and I did'nt hear back frm him??? Finally, when we talked I asked him to work w/me and lets get through this..He agreed. I asked him for JUST A LS2 BLOCK AND A FORGED CRANK AND WE COULD CALL IT A DAY!!!!.......He then told me that this was not his fault and these things happen and also that he needed more opinions. He wanted to talk to my father for some unk. reason??????
I WAS SHOCKED AND STILL AM.... Diplomacy failed and I begged him to please work w/me...HE WOULD NOT AND HAS STILL NOT CONTACTED ME...PERIOD...
I'm the customer and did nothing wrong...and showing unprofessionalism he still WOULD NOT MEET ME HALF WAY!!!! I drove a good running nice ZO6 there that I spent alot of money in the H/C upgrade and left on a rollback. Period.
He also pulled the "God Card" and said he could tell I was'nt a Christian...
Well Jeremy you still have'nt contacted me.....I'm no longer dealing w/this situation. It's out of my hands.
You know and I know that you pushed the car to hard and YOU NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! THAT CAR WAS COMPLETELY IN YOUR CONTROL AND YOU PUSHED IT TO HARD UNDER YOUR WATCH...I HAVE ALL THE DYNO CHARTS AND GRAPHS TOO.
I really don't understand why you would'nt work w/me...Oh yeah one more thing ref. THE GOD CARD...
People that pull the GOD CARD are usually the people THAT GOD IS LOOKING FOR!
You have no honor or buisness sense.
I will prevail!
ps.
I'm still waiting.
