He asks for three weeks to rework your TBI.
So expect a month or five weeks with shipping delays.
My truck has taken years to complete.

My intake and fuel regulator took almost three months from them. Hopefully when we do the throttle body it will be different.

Health issues effect us all?
So very pleased he's willing to take his time and do it right.
Great guy to deal with.

Less complexity. = More efficient.

The LS is cool, more than twice the money and way more complex to R&R.
In most cases, especially with non-race applications, it's clearly over-kill.

The primary issue is the learning curve.

It took me years to fianlly agree this method is the best solution.

Hope your journey is less painful and more efficient because of my exhaustive research.

Most people won't listen.

The option for sending my chip in just got renegged by the tuner after endorsing his process in this thread.


Looks like I'm being forced to burn my own chip or go without a chip tune.

No idea what's going on.
