Let me think about this Matt. Whatever it is I want it to be a positive post regarding the situation. There is no need for any finger pointing.
I work really hard to keep my reputation on the up and up. It is important to me what people think of Dyno Tune. If I make a mistake I man up to it and do what I can to make it right by the customer. Ask Wagner about his car. What happened was a honest mistake. I am pretty sure he will tell you that I took it very serious to make sure it was taken care of.
All I am asking for is to share the truth with the forum. I did say it was ok to drive the car. I did not give you my blessing to go out and run it through the gears with the increased boost. I told you a couple of different times that we need to check a/f's and tune for the increased boost.
So the place that I was measuring boost gave us a reading of 8 psi. I think you had said a couple different times the car was only making 5 psi on your gauge. So when the motor let go how much boost were you seeing on the gauge?
If you were seeing 11-13 psi compared to 5 psi, One can only guess how much power the car was making compared to the power on the dyno.
I remember expressing my concern to you of the dead 02 sensor. I expressed my concern regarding the number of exhaust leaks. I am not sure that I gave you a 2 hour deadline. I may have said if you want to do this tonight it needs to happen by a certain time. That does not mean you only this one chance to get this done. You could have waited until you were comfortable with bringing the car. If you look at the time stamp of the dyno sheet it says 8:23 pm. I would think I was being fair with the time given to you to dyno. I had no way of knowing the condition of car until I saw it. Once again I addressed the concerns of the exhaust leaks. You were obviously aware of them before coming to the dyno. Even though we sometimes get anxious to get something done it is in our best interest to wait and get the bugs worked out. You had a sense of urgency in wanting the car done. I simply did what you requested. I would also like to mention that $200.00 of the $1,050.00 that you paid me went to HP Tuners and not my pocket. The first $100.00 went to pay for the license on the cable for your car. The second $100.00 went to pay for the custom operating system to make your car both boost friendly and for more power. Translation? Allowing us to either go with a 2.5 bar map sensor or to extend the range of the maf from 12,000 hz to 15,000 hz.
If you would like me to continue to do tuning work on your car I would ask you to start a new thread on the corvette forum explaining what happened and the condition of the car when you brought it to me. Does this sound reasonable to you?
