WBD is a great place to work with! Brad is a great guy and very helpful. He also has a great tuner out there that specializes in lsx based motors!

Tom seems to have an extremely good reputation for LSX engines, and tuning in general.

Tom, I want to get my car tuned sometime soon. I did head/cam/intake a while back. Car actually runs pretty good but logging pass side is about 10% higher LTFT. I can find any leaks or problems. I even did a smoke test to be sure. Changed injectors and both front O2's - no change. Maybe I should just bring it in anyway?

Default Bad experience with West Bend Dyno

I made an appointment with Brad to install an A-Pillar dual gauge pod along with the two auxiliary gauges. Brad said not a problem, they do these types of installs all the time. He said it would cost $320.00. I think that's a little high but I say okay. I buy the gauges and pod and drop my '09 Dodge Challenger off at West Bend Dyno.

When I pick up the car, Brad presents me with a bill of $405.00. He said they ran into problems and had to buy additional parts. No one called to obtain my permission to proceed. Further, I can't understand why they would run into unforeseen problems when they "do these types of installs all the time."

This is certainly not a way to do business.
