As per Joe at the Mustang Ranch:

"Byron won't be tuning cars on a regular basis anymore as of June 30th and he's book solid until then."

It just goes to show that no matter how good you are there is always someone around to piss on your parade. Kids are sooo spoiled these days. They all forget that dyno results are just numbers and it doesn't mean that one car will perform better then the other on the track (or street [Wink] ) Byron will do well. He is a great guy and has fixed and tuned my car numerous times out of work and on his own time. No matter what market he will go for (he did mention to me he would go for the OEM's..which is great because he is that good with his sneec stuff). Definitely big shoes to fill (read: Mustang Ranch & Apex)and I wouldn't be surprised if he still did a little bit of consulting in the tuning department (at a price, of course) for those two shops.

I second that......Force Fed did a great tuning job on my car. Unfortunately my injectors were limiting my car's potential. Its in Yuba City, CA about 2 1/2 hours from San Jose. But well worth it and you dont have to wait long for a tune.
