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.
Just a month or so ago you had a road race car tune job up at RPM...Something doesnt sound right about your abilities. Cause even if your dude tuned it, redline is right down the street and dyno is always usable. Much more so then driving to lewisville.

Just 2 months or so ago Brian posted himself that he didnt know what the **** he was doing on tuning over htere. It was pretty much hit or miss. This was all brought out when he was bickering with Shaun and Jake on their cars.

At the time we were still waiting on software and I was by myself while Dustin was in Kuwait.

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.

Yeah sorry about that man..Sean is a cool guy but not so good of a biz. man..I dont care what anyone saids about him.He's the best lsx tuner around here period..Getting him to do it is another story.Hope the car works out for ya..I'm glad you took my advise on the cam..in the end you'll be much happier.

Anyone have ANY luck getting ahold of Scott or Daniel at SQR?
I have been trying to get in touch with them for a week now.
Left messages with Billy, the wife, the answering machine, and emailed them.

I really would like for Scott to get a chance to tune my car...

Yeah, you can't deny his powers with tuning our cars even if you want to punch the guy in the mouth.

That cam should be plenty ******* beastly. Thanks again, man.

And to the Supra comments flying around: What do a 500hp Supra and a 1000hp Supra have in common?

They both run high 11s.

Tried sending either one of them a PM? Scott reads this board daily so he'll probably get your message.

Nice Supra joke btw
