I think Tom is out of town this weekend. I know he was talking about picking up a new car for his gf in Cali. Might be this weekend. Then the holiday weekend is coming. I think if you want it done semi quick you might need to go down during a week day this week. Not sure of his schedule to be perfectly honest with you. I know he was talking about it when I was there.

Yeah, I had to go down there during the week. He typically isn't open on the weekends. But he's been known to do favors.

If yuor in a time crunch, you Ellis will do a good job too! He just doesn't have a dyno with A/F readings.

1) You could either have him tune it then take it later to somewhere (like turbo tech) and have it dyno'd to verify the A/F is safe.

2) Or you could possibly talk Ellis to going to a dyno place with an A/F reader and have him tune it there.

Just some alternatives.

He's always busy but he can usually squeeze a tune in if the rollers are empty. He might be still driving. BEst time to call him is between say 9:30 and 10:15 and then like around 12-1ish, then 4ish. He's in the shop and cant always get to the phone or hear it. He does check his messages though and will get back to as soon as he hears his messages. I really think he might not be back yet or isnt at work yet. When I was there it was a semi plan but he was going to be back today if he went.

Just a thought, but if you have already left a message or two......might be best to hold out on extras.......they will already be there when he is able to check his msgs....I know, for me personally, when someone leaves me numerous messages about the same thing before I have had a chance to respond it irritates me just a bit..........your choice but maybe give it a day before you leave more messages?

And he has been out of town since then (or since before then) if I read this all correctly..........just my opinion bro, feel free to do as you please.

He doesn't strike me as the type of guy to ignore calls, business, etc so if you left a message , he has been gone and what not then I would hang tight and give him a chance to call ya back, if not, knock yourself out. I was just offering up a suggestion is all.
