I just picked my car up from FMS Wednesday and could not be happier with it. If I do not do the work myself Allan is the only one touching my car. I will tell you this much as far as tuning with anyone make sure you tell them what you want (shiftpoints, rev limits, idle, etc.). To many people bring it get tuned and then are upset because they assumed tuning would modify certain things it did not change. For the best tune it is a little bit of back and fourth, because there are so many variables things can get easily missed. Allan has done a lot of trucks over there and Terry, who works for Allan, personally has a truck and is has a lot of knowledge about them. Good luck with what choice you make.

Sorry if we didn't get the phone. It seems to be a problem for a lot of people lately (including us) that there are more phone calls than can be handled in a day. If you call (225)754-7223 Ext. 330 that goes straight to my office phone or my voicemail if I am not in my office (which is most of the time). Either try that or if you get a live person I can be paged. If you leave a message I will try to get back with you, although it might be a day or so depending on what I have going in the shop at the time. I do return all of my phone messages though.
