Hey Guys,

It has been a while since I got back to you guys, well about Christmas time I asked the same question. To make a long story short, I went to Swanson Performance and I did not get a chance to dyno my car even though I had an appointment [Mad] , so I would like to try a different place. I would prefer to do the Dyno runs and tuning up here in North Cal. but due to a family emergency I will be in LA for a while starting next week. So I might as well take my car and dyno it while I am down there, any suggestions other than Swanson.

Thanks,
Josue

Hey Rob,

Since you asked, keep in mind here that I am being really polite.

I made an appointment, after about 2 months of waiting. I am the first one scheduled in at 10:00 am that da...cool. So I get there first about 10:10 and he lets another guy go first, I don’t mind not a big deal.

Then at about 12:00 pm the third car comes in and he puts that one in. Ok, so something weird is going on??? Then at about 2:30 pm another car comes in an again he lets that car go in. Ok, so that does it I get the point!!!! [Mad] [Mad] He either does not want to dyno my car or something else is up, he did try some alternate programs while we where there but did he did not dyno my car….by then I got the message. I just left and he charged me $40 for being there and burning programs that did not work. [Mad] Reviews from other people are mixed, people say he is awesome , people say he gives lousy customer service , but the level of service was really shitty, if he did not want to dyno my car he should have said so and that would have been fine with me. Not a problem I would have just left and enjoy the day . Next time I’ll take my business somewhere else.

From talking to Joe at Chicanesport it looks like the best thing to do is dump the Saleen Reflashed computer and get a stock GT computer.

So does anyone have a 2000 GT 5spd computer for sale? [Big Grin]

Saleen should be able to take your computer back to original. Keep in mind you may have to do this through Joe at Chicane, which may mean a charge $.
