[QUOTE="Marc S, post: 11520673, member: 122191"] That's usually the case. I will admit that during Andy's learning curve, he ran into roadblocks. Just like anybody else would have in this job. FWIW, tuning open loop is easier that most of you might realize. It's closed loop (drivability) tuning that is the issue for most tuners. We tune 6-8 cars a week. Most of which make well over 600whp and the only adjustments we have to make are to cold start. Open loop basically consists of A/F, timing, and boost. If someones car doesn't make the HP they think it should and the A/F, timing, and boost are where it should be, sorry. They either have other mechanical problems or they are too optimistic on what the numbers should be. There isn't a magic wand that comes with the SCT software that creates HP. A few of the people on this forum and one other forum that complain about us, had cars that sat over at Horsepower Ranch for months because John couldn't figure out the problems. When I bought the dyno from him, those cars came with it. Andy started his tuning career on cars that John (the owner of Horsepower Ranch) couldn't figure out and John is one of the best tuners in the nation. Is it because he forgot how to use the SCT software or is it because the car had mechanical or electrical issues that he couldn't solve? All of you have know idea how many cars come into my shop for tuning and we turn them away because the car has significant mechanical issues. I try and be polite as I can be. However, most of them leave pissed off, post on forums that were idiots and we were afraid to tune their car. Or, we didn't know how to. How do I respond to that without calling them out. I can't so I don't. Sure, Andy doesn't know everything. I can't expect him to. Once in a while he runs into a roadblock where the car doesn't respond. I can honestly say that happens about 1% of the time. Anyway, I took over this shop last November. If we have worked on any of your cars in that time frame and you are not satisfied, call me. I would like to talk to you about it and resolve it. [/QUOTE]
