You would be surprised what people will do to try and not be accountable. I knw that another business would do everything to try and tune a car so they could make money. So Tsm not wanting to even mess with it raises some flags. Let me ask you this....why was it not tuned right the first time? Why were those afrs lean? Why did they let it leave like that?

I asked that same question to Travis about well if the car is ok why the AFR's. His response was could be as simple as an o2 sensor, he said that JBA LT's are notorious for running lean until they have been corrected. either way he seem confident that the car was completely fine and that he would have it all corrected after he dyno tunes the car.

re-rx7, IIRC the OP was using a SCT tune so it was not a custom tune. Was the AFR actually lean or was the tailpipe sniffer (which reads a little lean to begin with due to the distance away from the head) using a sensor that hadn't been calibrated for the fuel being used {14.08 instead of 14.64} or hadn't been changed recently since they degrade quickly when using mixed fuels?

Not saying TSM was wrong and GH is right.

What if GH is right and TSM is wrong? Then the red flag I see is that the OP ended up calling TSMs bluff on needing other services to fix his problem that was nonexistent by taking it elsewhere.

What if TSM is right and GH is wrong? Then the OP may be in trouble.

Oh I see now. The thread has been confusing. First he had a custom tune then a canned. Lol idk what to believe! I don't think TS offered other services? I'm pretty sure the guy was using 93 and even if the tailpipe sniffer is further out 3 points is a lot

i def never had a custom tune.

Yeah from everything I've read TSM are stand up guys- even giving someone their money back even though they were out time and labor.

I've also read some GREAT things about GearHeads and right now I'm between which one to use.

Regardless...it sounds like the problem could be- the guy was running an email tune with an o/r x pipe and LTs. I personally would never run on an email tune with that extensive of exhaust mods. I hope everything is ok.

Thanks man, I hope to report some good news late tomorrow

From what I've researched cat deletes a tune isn't needed. Now for the lt's I'm not sure.

Just got a call from GH saying car did awesome and is ready to be picked up. Havent got any of the specks yet will let you know when i do.

**Yagermeister** · 02-07-2014, 02:00 PM

Thumbs up!

**Dan12GT** · 02-07-2014, 03:26 PM

Cool! Very interested to hear how id did / is running.

**Soulowd** · 02-07-2014, 05:43 PM

Alright Fellas I just went by GH and talked with Travis...Car is running awesome and he said the LT's were throwing off the AFR but once he corrected the problem he said It dyno tuned perfectly. Its now running at 415 hp/402 Tq. I have the Dyno results scanned into my work computer but its saying file too big to upload so once I get back home to my Mac I can fix it and upload it. A big thanks to Travis and the GH's crew!!!

That definitely sounds more legit! Congrats!
