I agree, I had a TA that was cam only and made 368.Ran 11.36@117. I personally think its the converter/tranny also. I would switch to a Yank PT series converter 4000-4600ish. I bet it would run a mid-low 11 like that. G Force it a pretty reputable tuner and no other shop is going to find a magical half a second in the tune I am willing to bet....

I seriously doubt Mike missed on the tune. He is very good at what he does.
If you are not happy take it back to him or meet them at the racetrack and have him log it.
No tuner is perfect and sometimes it takes another look to get things ironed out. If you have a tuner willing to take another look you should jump on it.

What drama would it be? I'm sure if Eric wanted to say something in person he would go to their shop or call them.

Customer satification is #1... If I had a customer not happy with my work I would have done picked up the phone and worked it out, not go back and forth over the internet.

Did you run it cold or put a bunch of heat in it in the staging lanes? What RPM is it shifting at 6400-6500? There are a lot of different things that can effect ET. I will gladly put it back on the dyno and redyno if you wish. No tricks or secerts here!
Seems like Mike told him to bring it back and he would take a look. Maybe he should have just done that...

I agree and I know Mike has offered to take a look at it. I also know Eric has tried to get ahold of mike and even asked Mike in PM's to give him a call.

Like I said, if I knew a customer was not happy with my work I would call to work it out. I would not be waiting around for their call...

well when you deal with shops you need to go to them. mike is not a bad guy and I'm sure he is more than willing to help you fix your problem. posting this was not good on your part. or putting g-force in your post anyway. be glad you didn't say lmr or ninjas would have come killed you! lol I'm sure you will figure it out nothing works as planned

Why dont you call him? Seems stupid to be stubborn when they have offered assistance.
