Glad somebody had my back on this one,cuz ive seen alot of cars come out of his shop "DUMB TIGHT"(very impressive) and ive been around cars long enough to know some fast shit when I see it!The only reason why I only rode in ONE is because I knew the owner of the car.Sheldon knows what hes doing for sure dude."you cant always make a race car perfect"I AGREE 2SIKGT If you remember tell Sheldon Gabe said whats crackin??LoL Hes a good dude

Heres a video from last week at the dyno day event they had,I was upset though dynoed 292rwhp 271tq,the part that made me upset was that I didnt even bother to check my timing til the next day and saw that initial it was 8! [Mad] Total was at around 26 or somethin like that!Ill be back for the next one in may its all good.Then we'll see the what the real numbers are.Cant wait,thats alot of timing I was lacking!

I would put an AED car up against a big boy racing car any day. Then you'll see how a RIDICULOUSLY fast car performs to a "DUMB" fast car.

Only 2 Places I would personally recommend my customers or anyone for a tune would be


Sean/AED for Bay Area/SAC Alot of very Impressive Cars Coming out of there and Great Customer Praise!

Nate at Fresno Performance (Travel time is a little more for Bay Area guys but WELL worth it in results)Top Notch Facilty and Alot of Very Impressive Cars/Builds coming out of there as well.They work on just about anything. Made a trip down there this past weekend and we dialed in my 86GT and Ill tell you I dont trust my car with just anyone and Nate found some hidden power. Needless to say when I left I was quite happy with the results....

This thread started out asking where to get a tune and then it turned to which shop has put out the fastest cars. (then the mud slinging as usual from you know who). For a tune go to whatever shop you trust or if your so inclined tune the damn thing yourself (lots of self tuners/wideband combinations out there) so you can only blame yourself if you screw things up. Personally I have had a lot of work done by Sheldon and I was never unsatisfied. If I wasn't I would discuss it with him and get a resolution instead of pouting here on this board [Roll Eyes] . I am sure the other shops do good work as well (if you notice all the leg humping).

talk is "cheat" [Confused] if you wanna come out to vacaville be more than happy to go from a roll. I was hoping it would a modular vs modular or fox vs fox on the AED vs little boy racing challenge, but we can do this. [Roll Eyes]

Ok, I think we've all got a good idea where to tune if there's one needed.

And for the record, my big wheel is faster than ANYONE elses! [Razz]
