I would also like to step up for Scott here. I bugged the **** out of him with "this and that" moron questions that I could have just as easily searched the site for (and probably found HIS answer after all) but I just PM'd or e-mailed him instead because I knew he was (and still is) one of the best.

He never got so much as even a little short with me in any of our correspondence. He even offered to drive to where I work (a solid hour + drive, one way) and tune my car. I had to offer to buy him lunch just so I didn't feel bad. I never got it tuned because I was (and still am) waiting to enough spare change for bigger injectors for my car before I let him tune it. I don't want to have to have it tuned more than once.

All that pestering and not following up on my end of the deal and the man is still as nice to me as he has ever been.

Good luck with the fishing Gomer, my your catches be big enough that you don't have to lie about them!

If I ever do get those injectors... you are still my man. It'll be untuned until I can drag you outta the lake and to the dyno. Nobody else will touch it!

I know nothing about tuning whatsoever. But, I do know that Gomer is a good guy and he seems to know his car stuff. I have asked him ton's of questions and he has always tried to help me the best he can. I don't know why any of you guys wanna ruin his rep. I know not everybody's gonna like him but, damn yall aint got to come on here and be bitches about it. And he did get the tune on my car very close in 2 pulls. I think he made 5 or 6 more rwhp on the 3rd pull. So that's pretty good. He has also went out of his way to come to huntsville to tune my car. Which honestly he shouldn't have to do. We should go to him. No other shop will come to you and tune your car, will they?

Keep the good job up Gomer. I am very pleased with what you have done for me. And as long as you want me to I will keep sending guy's your way.

He may not bethe best but he is ******* good and a damn, damn, damn good guy. He drove a hour to get my ls1 swap truck running and had it going from taking out vats and tuning for cam, stall, headers, tires, etc in less than 30 minutes. I had to make him take $50 more than he was going to charge for the simple fact that he came to me and I didn't have to trailer my truck to his house. He told me when I got around to it bring it up or he would come back down and massage everything out but he did such a good job I haven't need anymore tuning. He also helped me out on some parts and I feel I could call him right now and he would help me out any way he could. The thing about it is I have only met him 3 times and he went out of his way to help me and I thank him for that. Next time when I get ready to start my next motor he will be there if I can get him there.

You couldnt call him now he is in China ...But Scott is a great guy. No other tuner I have talked to would meet me somewhere to tune the car and if I ever installed anything else on the car re-tune it for FREE. While he may not be the BEST he is a great person to deal with and a heck of a nice guy.

Thanks, what makes me fell good about it is it's not a gutted out "race car" it was 100% full weight all the way to the sway bar and still pulled the wheels and and ran 1.47 sixty. I'm gonna try to take some weight out before I go back Scott said its got some 6.7x NA in it with a little weight took out. I just hope with a 200-250 shot I see some 6.1x-.2x

BTW..your car sounded awsome when you left with that turbo.

That's good. You have a nice car as it sit's. I would hate to make that thing into a drag car you know. But, good luck.

Thanks... I just can't wait till I can get it running like it sounds. Right now having problems with it pulling timing because the IAT are way to hot. I'm shoting for 500 rwhp after intercooler, twin fuel pumps, bigger turbo, and acouple more things. I think Scott can get it there. I just hope it's safe!
