If you picked my brain for months, then took your money to one of my competitors, then complained to me that my competitor phucked up, I'd hang up the phone and laugh.

At some point you have to patronize the individuals who have helped you along.

The guys at AED, or any business, put roofs over their heads and pay the bills with PAYING customers.

I have never worked with AED, but that is beside the point. At the end of the day, it's business.

rmadison007, I have found there is normally more than one side to every story, as is the case here. You posted Shaun's response out of context, with no supporting information on the events leading up to it. Your choice to come onto CA Fords and flame AED is another example of poor decision making.

I am a paying AED customer, but I wasn't always. Before I paid Drew and Shaun a cent, they both spent significant time developing a plan for my 03 Cobra to ensure the end result would meet my expectations. I would define them as "automotive consultants" just as much as I would mechanics and tuners. Drew and Shawn's work was flawless- my Cobra turned out better than expected. It makes over 700 hp and drivability is better than stock, the latter being very important to me. I have since had them sort out and tune another 2V Mustang I recently sold, and now they are starting to work on my third project car.

AED provides the highest quality service I have ever experienced, and I have used many shops throughout the country over the years, some of which are well-known places. I am employed at the director-level at a Fortune 500 company, and feel AED provides the quality of work and customer service I aspire to provide my customers. That brings me to my next point...

Is there such a thing as a non-paying customer? I would describe someone who has yet to pay as a "potential customer." Let's cut to the chase- everyone works for money, even Drew and Shaun. I'm sure they both sacrifice much of their personal life to run a successful business, but their time is finite. You cannot expect them to indefinitely give you their time if you never pay. You tried the patience of a very patient man, and your feelings got hurt.

I'm sorry you will never be a paying AED customer- it's truly your (and your car's) loss.

-Matt

Let me clarify something...Shaun gave me no advice or information expect prices before I had my car tuned elsewhere...once I found that I was unsatified with my tune I asked several people on who I should have retune my car...that is when I decided to email shaun and begun asking the same questions he posted...it wasn't until he became rude and disrespectful did I feel the way I feel now...respect is not a customer non customer thing it is a everyone thing...if he felt used say that don't get an attitude and be disrespectful...in every email I have sent it has been question respectfully asked about parts or tuning...he decided that he did not want me to be a customer and treated me poorly...I am pretty sure most of u were lucky enough to have positive experiences with AED I just was not one of them...for the record my pm box is full of people who have equal experiences as mine but choose not chime in...

I have all our emails saved.
When your motor was at the machine shop I gave you the part #'s of the valves prings needed for the Ed Curtis Camshaft.

I'm assuming it was not tuned at that time. I could be wrong?

We are open to talk about shops, good experiences and bad. If you fudge the truth and try to put a good light on you when it wouldn't be there normally that's when you'll be on the blast. If this wasn't true I have a feeling that the truth will be shown from Shaun.

Your inbox can hold 50 simultaneous messages. You are telling me that you have 50 separate people have PMed you about their bad experiences with Drew/Shaun in 3 Hours?! When there are maybe 50 regular posters on this board? The proof is in the pudding, where is the pudding, I'm hungry?!

Shame on those that don't want to openly share their negative experience with AED.
What are they scared of?
I can see where your coming from as RESPECT means alot to me. But also take into consideration that no one is perfect. As previously mentioned, these guys have bills to pay and at the end of the day "business is business".
Kudos to you for not backing down in how you feel, being that you don't have too much open support on your side.

the thread is for people that had bad shit with AED. Someone says they had a bad time and BOOM people wanna kill them.

side note: sptvnm if AED gave you a doller for everytime you sucked their dick or kissed their ass you would be able to afford to fix your car up.

First email about valve springs on 8/20:

200lbs seat pressure is not the normal stock AFR specs.
It's also not a valvespring part #.
200lbs seat pressure is typically for solid cam setups.

Emails up to 9/29, in them you say your heads are at the machine shop:

The nice thing about the VicJr's is you can run a 1.550 OD spring. Have your machine shop install Comp 953 valvesprings setup for 165ish lbs of seat pressure. This should get the job done nicely.....& if you want a bit more piece of mind, have them set the springs up at 180lbs seat pressure. At that seat pressure you'll have to setup the preload to .008" on the lifters.
Stock length pushrods are what I run....but they are .125" wall thickness instead of the standard .080". They are also a seamless chromoly tubing, unlike most (except the Comp Hi-Tech pushrods) that have a seam.

The reason for the inquiry is because I recently acquired a set of Victor Junior Heads and plan on using them on my setup with a Holley Intake setup…I currently have my heads at the machine shop and was wondering if mimicking your hydraulic lifters with and solid roller valve springs is necessary or will not using them just limit how high I can rev my engine…currently per the machine shop the closed spring seat pressure is at 120…and I am using a custom hydraulic roller camshaft cut by Ed Curtis with .540 lift…I know, I know,…your not a fan, I have attached the cam card…also what size are the pushrods are u using?

Subject: Re: intercooler

VicJr's are excellent heads. As is the VicEFI intake, however it will significantly raise Peak power in the RPM band....especially with a supercharger. This is mainly due to the intake manifold.
I run a Cobra intake with un-ported VicJr heads....this keeps Peak RPM down to a reasonable level. Am I missing power up top by not running a VicEFI intake? Yes. Am I missing some bottom end by using large heads? Yes.
But I love Edelbrock's quality.

I run a Hydraulic roller camshaft. F303 retarded a few degrees. I run Hydraulic roller lifters, custom thick-wall pushrods, Comp Pro-Magnum rocker arms with 7/16th ARP studs, & Solid Roller valvesprings. The preload in the lifters is the key to making this setup work correctly. I could not run this setup with Pedistal mount rocker arms/heads.

Shaun,

Curious on your opinion on Edelbrock Victor Junior Heads and Victor Junior EFI Intake? Will the intake kill the lower end with a blower? Also is your setup solid roller or hydraulic?

$1000+ pretty easy. Esepecially if you want Aluminum piping. Cutting/fabricating & welding takes man hours. Not to mention the materials, clamps, silicone couplers, etc. It's FAR cheaper to buy a 'kit'.

9.4:1 compression + pump 91 octane = 8-9psi MAX for a 'safe' tune. Whatever power it puts out, it puts out. I have no control over that.
If it were me, I would have built a lower compression motor (8.5:1) and run an intercooler. In fact, that is exactly what I have. 8.5:1 333ci with 16psi running 104+ octane & making 800+hp....thru a Cobra intake.

Ballpark? Do u think it would be best for an injector and pulley change? Instead of running 10-12lbs of boost…Do u think 8lbs of boost, 9.4 to 1 compression, 60lb injectors, and your tune will give me decent power between 450-500 rwhp? I really just want a car with great acceleration and drivability…with enough horsepower to beat most vettes…and to live forever...lol. I know I am asking for the world, but your reputation as the mustang tuning guru seems to be why I asking so much…As far as the intercooler I really don’t mind the price if it is worth it and necessary, but if I can achieve my goals without it great!

Noisy typewriter is okay.

I use the distributor pointer to tell me which cylinder to adjust. Whatever the rotor is pointing at, I set both intake & exhaust to zero lash & adjust from there.

Try 1/4 or less preload.

Definition of a customer:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Customer

You were a Potential Customer for a tune. Therefore I gave you all the information you asked for. It was my understanding you were getting the car ready to bring it to me to tune. Once you went with another tuner, you were no longer a Potential Customer for a Tune.....nor were you an actual AED Customer since we've never done work for you, nor sold you any products.

Had you been an AED Customer, I would have done my best to earn your Respect, and perhaps you would have earned mine.

Respect is earned, not given.

Understandable, but you kind of ruin that with these rude comments than translated into poor customer service skills…I appreciate your help and advice you have already provided me with and for that I am thankful…I was really hoping to eventually make time to make it up to your shop, but after these emails I believe it would be better if I did business with someone who respects customers, paying and not paying…some of those non paying customers might become paying, but your business your rules…I will be sure to voice my opinion next time someone raves about AED on Cafords and express how u treat non paying customers…regardless if a person is paying customer or not you should still respect them…

Yours Truly,

An unsatisfied non paying customer

Can I start my car using 60lb injectors and calibrated Mass air? Or do I need it tuned to take out fuel at start up? I have it tuned to 42lb injectors and calibrated mass air right now….

I have all our emails saved.
When your motor was at the machine shop I gave you the part #'s of the valves prings needed for the Ed Curtis Camshaft.

I'm assuming it was not tuned at that time. I could be wrong?

Nope car was tuned in may...before we discussed the valvesprings...I asked because I changed heads...like I stated before I spoke to you after the car was tuned...check the emails

I was under the impression your car was recently tuned, per the emails above where you state you were going WOT on the new setup. Why blow the new combo by going WOT without a dynotune...

Looks like it is a mis-understanding of Emails.

Too bad you had to start this shit-talking thread to get that sorted out.

Who misunderstood...I understood my emails...but it is all good it is probably for the best...for the record I have 10-15 pms from other on the board who will remain nameless who have had similar issues with AED, but it is what it is...

I've spoken to both Shaun and Drew at AED for extended amounts of time - over the phone, PMs, and emails. I've never been treated rudely, and I've never even spent a single dime with them. I plan on bringing my car there when my broke ass can afford it.

If you really knew me the last thing I am is cheap...Like I told Mr. Fasthatch, if you want to get to know me come by Jae Jae's house anytime and ask for me...then you can retract that comment...lol Jae Jae he called me cheap!

Seeing as how you feel like you were treated rudely through email, is there a chance that one of you took it the wrong way? Reading text instead of hearing words can come off differently. I find it hard to believe too since they've both received such good feedback from people on and off this forum. Either way, good luck, and I hope the issue gets worked out. [patriot]

My original question
"Can I start my car using 60lb injectors and calibrated Mass air? Or do I need it tuned to take out fuel at start up? I have it tuned to 42lb injectors and calibrated mass air right now…."

His Responses
"Why don't you ask your tuner."

"Let me know when you are ready to be a paying AED customer. My time and knowledge is valuable"

"Definition of a customer:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Customer


You were a Potential Customer for a tune. Therefore I gave you all the information you asked for. It was my understanding you were getting the car ready to bring it to me to tune. Once you went with another tuner, you were no longer a Potential Customer for a Tune.....nor were you an actual AED Customer since we've never done work for you, nor sold you any products.


Had you been an AED Customer, I would have done my best to earn your Respect, and perhaps you would have earned mine.


Respect is earned, not given."


You be the judge...

Like I said it seems to be a misunderstanding, It looks like he thought you asked all these questions and went to another tuner instead of coming to him. I bet if you call him and stop trying to cause shit on this forum everything would be straightened out. Give whoever you e-mailed a call, they are both stand up guys.
Your a AED customer I expect you to believe it is a misunderstanding...AED and I have communicated via email about this situation and they don't want me as a customer...They were rude and disrespectful in my book and regardless if someone is a customer or not u should still respect them period...Lack of respect leaves people shot or toothless where I am from...I understand where they are coming from, but with all the dick riding happening on this website for their services i expected a little more...I am not going to put people on blast, but I am not the only one not swinging for AED nuts on this website, just the only one speaking up...I am unsatisfied "potential" customer using a pro AED website to voice my dissatisfaction...If it was really a misundestanding who job is it to clear it up the customer or the business...
It has been cleared read above...and it seems you were being a cheap bastard and now you're bitching because he stopped helping you...
The Last thing i am is cheap...but like i told Fasthatch, come by Jae Jae house and ask for me and then make a comment like that...The only difference between me and you is that I have not spent money with AED...Jae Jae he called me cheap
frist douche why would i go to jae jae home an ask for you are trying to threat me if you are good luck on that.it really sounds like your pissed b/c aed fried you as a potential customer
so why dont you spend money tuning your car at the track i heard don baileys looking for work

you can come over fasthatch, we can smoke newports all day and watch dopefiends walk around the hood [Big Grin]
