Also, its not really the PCM learning the cam, so much as it is adjusting the tune for the cam, watching how the car reacts, and adjusting appropriately. Yes there are tables that "learn" things, and can be cleared, but for tuning they are referenced for logging purposes, thats not where the tune is at.

No doubt cars he's worked on have broken, then again I can name about 7 of them off the top of my head that made over 2,000hp.
I still think it's cool that if you call Accel's DFI tech line they tell you to call turbopeople

Can you tell me the tensile strength properties of a cast piston ring like stockers vs an after market low tension?
I can research it just as easy as you can, or make a couple phone calls and find out the same information.
and STFU, i was making a small joke and you get all serious thinkin you're the man b/c you have stood next to him. I never said I hung around him, just made a comment that alot of people wouldn't know who he was....
step down off that saddle Mike-o.
And for that matter, I know a guy that builds top fuelers, so my friend is faster than someone you stood around.
neener neener neener.

I think I am taking my car for tuning to SQR. I have heard nothing but positive things about them. My car ran some really good times last season with Sean's tune, who has been doing it for umpteenth years, so I do not want anyone going in and changing his parameters, except for the 3 mods I just changed. I might just save up and buy my own HP Tuners and LEARN how to tune, because I really do not trust anyone anymore. Tired of being let down and feeling like no one wants to help my car run good when drag racing. It would be nice to know that all the other shops are on your side and want to make your car a mad machine, but this is simply not the case.

Ive been around plenty of high HP engine builders. But i only observe. Who gives 2 ***** if you have a friend of a friend...Can you yourself break something, figure out why, and rebuild it? NO!

because I had SQR tune and install my motor?
I know why my motor failed, pretty damn simple to figure out. and I fixed it with a phone call for a new one, I don't have time to have my car down for extended periods of time, or time to do alot of work on it myself. I don't have hte luxury of having 2 or 3 vehicles to drive.
And fwiw, I'd assembled a couple blown sbc's and a few nitrous'd sbc's, and worked on a damn quick FE too. I'm no engine God or master of anything, but I know alot more than you'd think, and can figure my ways around things.
Just like yourself, I know alot of smart people that have done alot in the game, and have learned alot from them.
and, fwiw, you brought on the whole "my friend does this" bullshit.
back to fastech though...

Turns out a month later one of their customers calls asking about a 400.00 charge on their card, Bob had told us to use their card we had on file it wasn't even theirs it was one their customers. Obviously the card got charged back and they got a free manifold. I called them for 6 weeks oct-december trying to get ahold of somebody and hoping they would make it right. I finally got Shawn (sp) on the phone he said he would get his credit card out of the safe and call me right back to square up with us. Never heard from him again. I got a collections agency involved and they were told "do whatever you need to do to try to get us to pay". If any body sees an edelbrock #29086 laying around there it belongs to TEA. Of course a 400.00 manifold is nothing compared to these guys who have cars disassembled it's just the principal of it all.
