That's a bummer from FVD, I hope they still honor my setup I have not talked with them in a while and need to complete my tune. I need to gather more information glad you posted TTJunkie..

Gave FVD a call and Whew! Got in under the wire and they will finish my tune, I guess custom tunes just not profitable in this time and era. By they way what car do you have?

Have you tried Sharkwerks in CA or vivid racing in Phoenix. I think there is another one called Promotive where you send them your ECU and they program it and send it back to you. As I recall they where supposed to be very good. By the way what car do you have?

Mother:
Sharkwerks is the worst shop I have ever been to, you should reconsider recommending them for anything.
I think I'll wait for a slowdown at work, then drive to EVOMS and give them the car for a few days.
Thanks All :-)

I said to "try" sharkwerks, I did not recommend them. However feel free to elaborate on your experiences so others may benefit. GL

If all else fails, Vivid Racing can do it for around $2000 and that's for straight ECU programming and they need 2 days with car on dyno. Disclaimer: I never had any work done by them. GL

I'd be very interested as well? In fact, if you (TTJunkie) are the same person banned about a year ago for pulling the similar posts, you can let us know that too, OK?

To be specific...

I have no issue with relating first hand experiences about any vendor/product/service, but have always maintained that opinions be kept in context to "first hand experience" and relating both sides of the story.

I do have an issue with "snap shots" - i.e. - "they are the..." posts/comments, such as TTJunkie's..

TTJunkie, feel free to PM me should you want to discuss this in private.

Have a nice day,

John
