Thanks for being patient, and letting us do our thing.

Going against my instincts and blindly following the tuners suggestions, I let him tune it to his whim. Sadly, another member who had his procharger tuned by the same person, just recently his blew motor too. Thankfully the tuner is no longer in the modification business.
Lesson learned, make sure you make the extra effort to get a great tune. If you have to drive for 10 hours to go to a reputable shop with lots of experience, DO IT. Also pay the extra money for a good EMS, quality fuel components, reliability and driveability depend on it. In the end, you got to pay to play and I am about to pay up.

Man that sucks. I'm hoping to get a vortech this coming winter and strap it on so hopefully I won't have any problems. I think I'm going to start out with the stock FMU and just run the vortech setup as it is from vortech. At least to start out, . I just want some more power but to stay conservative.

sucks NEXX. Good luck with everything. DFW huh? SGP is only 4 hours from you. Finding a tuner close by shouldn't have been an issue. Live n learn I guess. Look at it this way...at least you have an excuse to build the motor now. lol.

and yes, if i had to do it all over, obviously i would have gone to a different tuner. i wanted to fly someone in and get group tune but getting people in texas to do that is impossible.
