Ugh, so my car is getting tuned

And the tuner has had it for 5 days now(working days not counting the weekend.) and nothing. This wouldnt have bothered me if he hadn't of told me I would probably get it back in 2.

That sux. Remember, good things come to those who wait. You could be an *** and call them everyday and ask why they are so many days over quoted. Did you pay him first or not?

No I didn't pay him, and I wouldn't be as bothered if I got regular updates, as to whats the hold up. I'm very understanding when I'm well informed, but if I get out of the loop I get antsy.

He said he spent about 2 days, doing it inbetween things, I'm having it street tuned, not dyno tuned, so I can see where it takes a bit more time. But still 5 days is pushing it :P

Sean,
A street shouldn't take more than hour if the guy knows what he's doing.

Also that car had a good tune to begin with.

Might want to consider Pettit or someone else.

And I remember you saying quite a few times that the car was running incredibly rich, and needed to be tuned. Clarify that?
