good question, I would say YES if you need a tune b/c mike has tuned everything and anything that vq35 related. he warrenties his work and does everything he can to not let ur car leave his shop till he is a 100% sure ur safe. but they really need to improve their costomer service IMO.

my app. was at 9am
i got there at 10:20
car wasnt on dyno till 1pm i think.

they told us to weit 15min till dyno. mike got a call, then dyno didnt happen till 2 hrs later! I got mad for a min. no appologiez or anything.

they have been in buisness 9yrs and their shop has allot of high quality cars. my car was probly the cheapest vehicle there.

Yes...I wouldnt be happy at all if you had a 9:00am apt . If they had asked you to drop it off and they would tune it sometime during the day...thats a different story . But you were sitting there waiting on them and they knew it . If some buisness wanted me to wait for 4 hour before they got me in for my 9:00am apt. I would be furious and would have left hours ago . You were put on a back burner while they made money from someone else...not good buisness at all .

I forgot to add ....you did a great job on the write up !!!!

stuff like this makes me cry lol >< I woulda wanted to install it myself anyway. In the write up I also suggested that if you wanted to go above 7psi It is allot better to get a tuner kit since the supporting mods have a domino effect.

Good job man! Excelent post. Your grammer was fine BTW! I second the vote for the Gates belt. Also, run it around a bit and let it heat cycle a bit then give it another quick tighten. It will work fine for the summer but as soon as it get cold it'll squeal like a stuck pig and Delaware can get a little nippy...haha

yea I tightened the belt 3 times already. last time AAM did it. I can hear it getting a little loos since its getting warm out. Ill tighten it again at the next oil change, maybe even replace it. final torque was in the 340-350.

Im going to call AAM today since they havnt responded back in 2 weeks now. hoping they got some data saved so i can get a final print out.

thanks again all.
