Message	Maybe the tune John installed was not so great?!?!?!?! Should have installed a base tune and called it a day. Now that a customer post some bad press, you are now available . . . Wow. Your business, so this is your problem and this should have been handled and never been on this forum. And 22k is 22k and it was spent at YOUR place of business. But I do understand your warranty. Do you offer any type of warranty on your built motors?
