I took mine to RPM after going to TRT... my spark plugs weren't even screwed in right, it was misfiring and the tune was way off. I don't think RPM was any more expensive than TRT though. I'd go back but it's so far away for me

Bottom line, I don't need to fix the car at all, I'm looking to upgrade a couple of things and simply looking for a reputable shop to do the work. The suggestions on that topic thus far have been good and I appreciate them.

Dustin did an ok job...the car runs great although the tuning for 60lbs injectors didn't go great at idle. Everything else is fine. I did one time have my computer hooked up the stand alone fuel management system and it started flashing "danger to manifold" but I told it to shut up and everything was fine...

What a joke... I just told him my experience and to call the shop and that it is only a few miles from him. They fixed my car and the entire car came apart yet you call me a fanboy. I am simply pleased with the work and recommend em. Hell, if you ported a set of heads for me and I was pleased i woulda done the same thing. "Lay off the hater-aid!" lol
-that sounded way more childish saying it out loud btw.

Mike, you always chime in not only about who the shop is, but some long and elaborate story about thier list of accomplishments. You come off like a walking, talking, typing promo for them. I left your post with the shop name, but you dont need to act as if they send you asian hookers every other week for flying the flag.

Man that guy LOVES those things. especially when they haul nuts from about 200 ft on, on a sticky surface...WOOT WOOT.
Anyone notice that with the LMR car they worked on. I kinda felt bad for them putting their name with that car but then again what can you do at the same time.
Ah...who am I kidding. Rear-mounts are for tools. Nuff said. Drive it off a cliff.

TRT gave me such a horrible tune when I went up there (4.5 hours one way!) that I had to pull over on the way home and use my Diablosport handheld to get it to quit breaking up so bad.
Worst tune ever.

Sounds like you salvaged a lackluster rear mount setup. That is the point. The other point............why do a rear mount? That could be the point. My point, dont roast marshmallows 10 feet from the fire. Put the bitches on the flame.

Does it work...? Yes. Is it the most efficient...? No. Do I care...? Not really. My tune with Dustin went well minus the 60lbs injectors and yes Mike, you have already commented on that. I'd like to get that fixed while adding an extra 50wrhp from the turbo cam...should help out a smidge with the lag. I'm going to Mexico in the morning bitches...i'll be back over a week from now and we'll discuss who will do the work.
