Ryan,
I don't want to rain on your parade, but 12.5.1 A/F ?? Your power isn't in line with the A/F your running. You should be in the 345rwhp range especially as lean as you are. Your walkin a fine line. Don't get me wrong, Im happy for you and all, but I'd be really careful. Im not saying you are going to have problems, but your much more apt to running that A/F ratio. Notice you didn't pay anything. This way if your motor pops, he's still not a bad guy?.....I wish you the best bro..

Hey Rikki - do you have hp/tq and a/f graphs from your dyno runs? Care to share them w/us?

I recently make 320rwhp on a sequential setup and would like to see how your graphs differ from mine.

Ryan I don't see how you can say you've had no problems with PFS. Thats BS. You had to drag his name through the mud all over the internet for him to return your phone call. I suppose everyone should have to do the same to get the great customer service you are talking about?!!
Free work??? This is what is called Damage control my friend .Peter is going to be losing customers from all this bad publicity. He has to start making nice with someone. And considering you are so boastful you make a perfect candidate. I think it's a step in the right direction for PFS to help customers like this, but you shouldn't misslead people that your experience today at PFS is typical because that is just not true.

I have a little opinion survey for those who use PFS:

1) Are the parts quality?

2) Will they tune the car for free if you buy the mods and have them installed there?

3) Do they do a good job with the PFC?

4) Is their engine management package any good?

Thanks for the help. I did a search and didn't find too much good. I was hoping to get a little updated info. Thanks in advance.

Dan,
In short I'll give you my take on your questions.
1. His parts are decent in quality, but very high pricing
2. They don't tune the PFC, just PMC and Electromotive. Don't confuse the PFC with the PMC, big difference.
3.No their PMC engine mgmt. is outdated and overpriced. The Apex power fc is by far the better choice for you. I've had both and I know.

yeah, go read the fine print on your warranty. I really doubt they will replace the engine if it was poor tuning that caused it to pop.

E,
I dont know much about tune'n but the a/f may be different then what I said it may be richer than that I was just use'n that number because that is what I saw but it did got to the 11's when it got past like 6800 rpms or so but it feels alot better to me and I am pleased with Peter and Ray they did a top notch job and I am very happy with them.

also Ray has very good tune'n skills and I trust him with my car he has over a 100 dyno pulls on his motor and has not fucked anything up so I would say he no's what he is doing and Peter was make'n the adjustments
no rain on my parade and if I take a motor out oh well it is still under warranty
Ryan,
Side note, ask Ray how many motors he popped trying to get that Electromotive working....

Rikki,
Before I go into my PFS experience, I want to comment on your post-No offense but your writing is one continuous stream of consciousness output; try some period and commas. And what the hell is this "Rikki" ****? Isn't that from some 80's song?

Back to PFS. I've been to PFS a couple of time and made an effort to support him over the year. Every time I ended up leaving and thinking: What a real "Richard"! I used to run a shop and I know how busy it gets. But you never know, that one customer who pestered you with questions might come back the next day and drop $3.5K on repairs. This did happen and we benefited from taking the time out to listen and advise. Richard, I mean Peter, will do an instant monetary appraisal on you and then ignore you if he thinks you're too poor to afford his ghetto-rigged ****. That's why I never got his Trash Auto amplifier- I mean his PMC. I waited 2 years for the PFC and it was worth it.

My $0.02.

quit yer crying. I'm not blasting you I was saying you should just take note that the engine may not be covered under warranty. Whats your deal Joyce not hanging w/ Mr. Peter enough? You sound like your a little backed up.....But ..


you cant beat that at all I have had nothing but great dealings with PFS and I urge people if they are think about getting work done there dont second guess it the tech's there are great and will take car when I left out of there I had 2 nails in my tires and Ray was kind enough to plug them and get me back on the road

But anyhow this is just to let people know that PFS does take care off their customers



And you were saying that you are not telling people to take their cars there...Right

BTW I'm not against people going to PFS. Ray there seems like a really nice and helpful guy. I'm just saying that you did alot of bitchin to get treated that good. I say you deserve it for all the crap you have put up with. I'm trying to point out to those who may have not had experiences at PFS that it aint all rosie like your post sounds. Don't get offended your still my homey. Chill Donkey... Hee Haaa

Ryan doesn't believe in commas, periods or quotation marks. BUT he does know what he's talking about.

A "RIKKI" is a "nice" term for a rice boy....you know the one's with the strobe lights, the 5" fart cans, the wing stolen from a Supra and the loud/obnoxious sound system....

Ryan's username is telling "US" not to be a Rikki

I've never cared for the term "rice"... I've tried to come up with some better non-asian type terms... and the only one that sounded good to me was "dumbass".. Cant say "rikki" accurately describes them.. to each his own..

VAN IS A RIKKI!!!
