As far as woe for me... you dont have to worry about that, he is gettin back on his feet after that fiasco...... you ask the guy I am sure he would wish to be back at Fastech 1 and never done Fastech 2.... you live and you learn. He is a good guy once you meet him.

as far as tuning...... try spending 2 months tuning cars that have never seen a decent tune and have every imaginable bolt on (damn Kuwaities have serious bank rolls) ...... kinda a crash course in tuning. If it aint right.... he is not too proud to deny it, and will fix it.

Yeah I hope it's "crybaby" Freese that ends up doing the tuning. From everything I've seen and heard, he does a great job. I had a friend go up there yesterday and they said the "trained by Freese" guy is doing it, so who knows...

Yeah well he was originally supposed to tune my car. My installer (I'm out of the country, so can't do my own work) bought HPTuners because of this and Sean stood him up and gave him the "life is in shambles" BS. That's almost a direct-quote. I think he just uses that **** whenever it's convenient. Does he still owe his *** all over the place or what? I remember a while back there were a ton of people trying to find him.

Oh, no doubt. Everything I have seen and heard about the guy's tuning work proves he is an LS1 madman.

Trust me... Take it to SQR in benbrook or trtturbo.com in arlington
I haven't read pages 2 or 3 of the thread yet...but what tables does he touch he doesn't need to? I'm interested because Andrew did a few tables on mine...explained why and I was like ah ok...I'm sure you know which tables Brian shouldn't touch so he can learn from you...

All RPM maf tunes are not tuned VE first. Scott can you clerify what I am saying in laymans terms?



As far as being a nutswinger....... I was the only one who posted that they can do tune (i would wait on Scott and SQR for speed density).....TRT has 11 cars in the shop that need engines, turbo kits, transmissions, heads, etc etc...... you dont see them posting like EPP or other sponsors... they are low key and dont act like they know it all.......

Skipperbiscuit, we all know how you feel about SF!!

as far as I am concerned, if you think I am a "nutswinger" because I praise good work and great people........
Have you EVER touched HP tuners and begin to even understand Volumetric Efficiency's and how much air fills the cylinder and what it means? Then shut up...don't try to talk about something you know nothing about...and I am no tuning wiz nor know much about it either. But I know plenty enough to know you are an idiot.

His is the older blue truck getting the 408, twins, 4L80, etc.., not the Silverado SS.
Just for the record guys, Sean is just turning wrenches a couple nights per week for us. There are no business decisions made by him, I just need a little more help with the overload of cars we have right now.
We are new with tuning and I have no problem seeking advise from more experienced people to ensure the job is done right. My main concern is customer service and making sure the job is done as well as possible.
We have tuned several cars, including a couple of forced induction and they have turned out great.
If anyone has any reservations concerning the tuning, then find a place you are comfortable with.

This right here is why I chose you guys.

And don't get me wrong, Sean definitely knows his ****. I hear he's a real nice guy too... just don't involve him in the business decisions

Can't wait!

Mike, Brian has been doing the tuning since Chris quit and it's been quite a while now but not as long as your car has been down which is what a couple of years now?
