Default Turnaround time for Ski_Dwn_It's chips?

Has anyone had Jesse do a chip for them recently. I need to have him reburn mine. I've asked him 3 times how long I should expect to wait to get the Memcal back, but no answer. He replies, just doesn't answer that specific question. So what am I looking at? 1 week? 2 weeks? 3 weeks? I was hoping maybe someone has dealt with him in the last couple of weeks and could give me a time estimate. Thanks

Jesse did a chip burn for me about a month or 2 ago.
Jesse was very prompt on the reburn and shipment back.
Car runs good with no problems and I would recommend Jesse.
My turn around time from the day I shipped the chip until I got it back was just under 2 weeks.
I dont think you will be disapointed if you decide to let Jesse (ski_down_it) do the chip for you.

I've done some business with him recently and he is a good guy but he is pretty busy. I think you may be experiencing a delay because he is hard at work on getting his car back together. I bought his 700R4 transmission and converter from his car and he is working on swapping in a Rossler turbo 350. I am sure he'll get you situated when he comes up for air.

Sorry for missing the question on the turn around time. I wasn't trying to avoid the question, probably just did not remember to reply to that specific question.

I can get the chip turned around in a about 3-4 business days from receipt.

On a side note, I have been super busy with "real" work lately. One of my guys is returning from major surgury from cancer, then within a week of his sketchy return, another gets diagnosed. Really makes you appreciate good health if you have it.

Then in the middle of all this, the operations manager decided to take a 2 week vacation to hawaii. So I am trying to juggle about a million things a day.

I try to answer each email, as best as I can. Sorry I missed that part of your question.

No need to apologize. I know you're very busy, which is why I was asking. I just didn't want to send it to you and then find out you were in the Bahamas for a month I'll send it out at the end of the week. Thanks

I know I won't be disappointed. He did my first chip a couple of years ago after the cam and headwork. I was VERY happy with his work, but I've done too many mods since then for the old tune to keep up.

Steve, have no clue, but hopefully he's getting sun burnt No, he's a good guy. We all need a break every now and again.

He didn't make his promised lead time with my chip about a year and half ago. Some equipment issue came up . Instead of 1 week I think it took two. Non-the-less, I am happy with his work, met him and his Dad in person(lent me jumper cabels when I ran out of juice in the staging lanes at E-Town)both of whom seem to be nice enough guys, and will be sending my chip back to him after my heads/cam package.
