Why would I be insulted? Were you actually going to try and bag on my setup when you don't even have a time slip or dyno numbers? Quite a few know me and my wife in person, and know what our car did. Right now it should definitely be faster than 10's but we also need to upgrade our cage and throw a kill switch on it.
The other thing you can do is click on the picture in my signature and visit our FQuick page to see timeslips and dates and the notes regarding the runs.
EDIT: Comparing what you have in your signature to what we had in our car when we did run the 10.4@130, you should be as fast and if you aren't I would indeed look at changing your tuner!

Ok i see i thought you went 10's on the new setup. But those are decent times and numbers for h/c/n car. I hope for mid 10's on my new setup that hasnt been revealed yet but hopefully soon. best of luck with the new setup cant wait to see it in action or a vid.

maybe he had alot of work on the schedule? ever thought of that? or maybe you expect him to just screw all his other customers and tune your car instead....

I have about 1500 cars tuned under my belt, I guess people finally caught on to me and I cant tune! 
People are so quick to point the finger at the tuner and not themselves and their car. I tell people all the time if your car is messed up I dont work for free and im not going to fix your mess unless you want to pay me to do so, plain and simple. Can I fix just about any and everything, YES. You will pay for my knowledge and expertise if you choose to do so.
About the specific issue at hand in this thread, I remember the car and person vaguely. A simple phone call or PM to ask wether or not thier timing and air fuel were legit would have sufficed, I have no problems answering those questions. The car doesnt make power as expected, the tune was there at the time, the power was not, I suggest you look elsewhere for the missing power as there are quite a few variables, and my end IMPO is ruled out. Good luck OP this is cars, this is the way it goes sometimes.

However you still seem to be charging a little much at $550 for a heads/cam car.
And how did you go about diagnosing the bad cam? Obviously there was something because you charged him less and didn't finish the tune(whatever that means). Yet now you claim that is was "there at the time".

There was another thread not to long ago where the tuner/shop got bashed. Ended up it didn't have the heads or cam in it that it was suppose to have.
All in all we don't know enough about the whole combo, how it was put together, if was put together right to decide who is to blame.
I hope my build goes better than this.

I support my customers at all times, they can call me anytime, stop by the shop and talk about their car and their tune as Azrael had posted earlier that I did for him and his wife.
I claimed the AFR and timing were there to show the cars power, meaning AFR was mid to upper 12s and timing was decent but still a tad conservative, there was no way 40 hp was missing from adding a few degrees and leaning out to 13.2 which I wont do for cars leaving my dyno anyway. I didn't diagnose anything I made suggestions as to by why the car doesn't make the power as expected, when tuning a car we didnt work on thats all I can really do.
