Did you even READ my post?

Sorry CMS is not my religion as it is others around here but i've YET to even bash on CMS for wrong doing. If voiceing my unbiased opinion on the other peoples' responses offended you.. well im sorry.

It's childish to state that I don't believe it's the tune? Even after listening to everything they had to say and weighing all of the facts? Wow, didnt realize I wasnt allowed to have an opinion
Am i trying to censor you? I was voiceing MY opinion just as you do yours.

Have i gotten involved bashing or defending anyone in any CMS/Strickly/Haddad thread? I didn't think so, do you ever see me post in a shop recommendation thread? If you haven't noticed i stay out of these threads, but this and the other thread are completely ridiculous. There is no point in going back and forth arguing about who is happy and who is unhappy.

the OP is happy and is all that matters, 59 Camaro is unhappy and has made it public, rather than bagging on him or anyone else just say ok and ignore them, why fight over it? Do you think you are going to change his mind?

You should all read what you wrote think about what your are going to say before you hit the "enter" key.

seriously I read your original post then read Ryne's response and was at a loss for words. Pretty unbiased opinion which if anything was defending CMS is apparently talking ****.


So much hate in the Western Forum as of late.

The reality is as a car gets older you are likely to experience different issues that may or may not be able to be "tuned out" of the car.
If a car has NO mechanical issues, the age/mileage of the car will have NO effect on anything being as you put "tuned out". I really wish the ones who have tuning experience would also shed some light on this subject

I dont think its about caring for numbers or not its more about getting what you paid for.

well i dont think you can say he did or didnt get what he paid for. none of us can, there are more than enough people out there (not saying specificly this individual) who are just not happy unless they get the impossible.

we cant state that the car is in perfect working order, for all we know he has low compression on a number of cyl, he may have issues with his valvetrain, there are a massive number of issues where the car will run fine, however not make best possible power. we just dont know, and milage plays a big part in this kind of stuff.

seriously i can only say that those individuals who havent been there should either take their car there or not, but until you have direct experience with the individual shop you really have little room to talk good or bad.

i think ryne might have gotten into defensive mode for a moment there, this thread is pretty much a few individuals calling him out likely just a misunderstanding or misread of the post i think we all need to stop and just sit back relax and until we

just my opinion

People who have never been to CMS talk about it like thier temple. I whole-heartly respect and admire Xpeditious stepping up and recommending OTHER shops outside of everyone else's religion. C'mon people.. this is the western region board not the CMS board. Why jump all in his case for giving the person looking for a shop options?
Please please please do us all a favor and find where someone bashed another member for taking their car to a shop besides CMS. I read many of the threads and have yet to see someone act in such a way. Maybe I missed it.

hmmm
If your "key concern" is the "fluctuation" in dyno numbers, it's been addressed not only in this thread but in other threads. Read up.

If you want to continue it, since it will get buried when this is locked, start another thread.

Ryne, since the only problem you're facing is inaccurate dyno numbers, why not do a free dyno to those who were affected by low or inaccurate readings?

the SEARCH feature for finding this type of stuff is useless and threads only go so far back... **** on the western forum through 13 pages it only goes back to the beginning of march.
