If we could have reasonable discussions like the page above it can stay open as long as everyone stays civilized. So far you guys are doing ok. It started rough, but seems to be getting better. No infractions givin out either. Wish they could all be like this. Everyone has a difference of opinion, and that's ok.

I wish more people would see this. We aren't all going to agree about everything. Everything is a matter of opinion and personal preference. If people would stop and realize we all share one interest. Other than that we are all different people, different mods, different preferences.

Stop bashing each other and do the damn thing!

thanks for re-opening, metallic. i'm not trying to start anything either, just giving and justifying my experiences. i'm not totally defending james either, because for all i know he did all sorts of **** to my pcm that i don't know about, or if i were tuned through someone else my car would run even better/faster. i do appreciate the OP warning everyone to know what going on with their tunes it is good looking out.

Do you have them in your email (the tunes he sent you??)?? If your willing to send me the most current file, I will look at it and break it down table by table and tell you if I see somthing that is concerning. As I stated before, I am not here to blow smoke up people's ass and drum up business. The only reason I started this thread is because after what I saw, I was seriously concerned. The choice is yours, but I will offer this to ANYONE who has one his tunes in here.

Send them to pnptuning@gmail.com . Leave me your name and contact phone... I will review it and call you, we can dicuss it....

Pistons aren't the only thing damaged from KR... Bearings don't like it either.....

Neither one of you have been around long even to determine if ZZP and BYT were good tuners. You came in around the time James was here and stirring up ****.

And btw not to change the subject or thread jack but my car was taken during my divorce and the ex let it go back. I have pictures floating around so if any new people have a 09 with drag 33 rims and all treadstone bolt ons that car should still have the latest tune I had on it.

No man not right now. Trying to find my old one. I spent alot of time on that car and certain personal reasons I couldn't have a different one. Kinda attached to that car. Call me dumb but I'd rather have it than another one.

I read the first post as a warning too, not a bashing. He was warning people what he found, and to look into your tune.

Plenty experience and parts with them seeing as I had a project 3.8 gtp from mid 08-late 10. Thanks for assuming though.

imphat0260 i was not aware you tuned Cobalt's. Heck i knew you were a master Jbody tuner....AND IM STILL WAITING ON YOU TO PM ME BACK! LOL

But to back up imphat0260...if he says the logs are wrong then i believe him. This guy knows his stuff.

Has for who can tune remotely....why hasnt anyone mentioned Terminator2? Im currently getting tuned my him via email. Sucks but i hope to see the light by the end of the week.

Also i just found out on hptuners.com there is a how to tune LNF with vidoes. I wish i would have caught that before I paid for a tune
