Another hint: Never say, well "my other tuner says...(fill in the blank)" or "I read on the forum..."

Here is too a guy that has never failed to deliver exactly what he says he will deliver (99% of the time more).
Best tuner out there in my opinion. Helped me convert my auto to six-speed via emails. Sent the PCM to Phil and the car runs like a charm.

Quick short answers, you just have to pay attention.

If did the car it's done right.

Top Notch solid repuation around here no doubt. Out of curosity, other than the all imporant street tune where does Dr. Phil dyno tune at?

Does he have access to a dyno in his garage or does he dyno tune (in addition to his famouns street tunes) at a certain dyno shop?

[QUOTE=Vindication;1565907803

He was patient with me though I probably nagged the sh*t out of him at first. I'm very glad he took my project and made it out to be what I wanted and If I had to do this all over again Phil would be the ONLY person I'd go to.

Thanks Phil. [/QUOTE]

He does have access to a dyno near his garage...but for some suspicious reason there's a lot of rubber burn out marks in a one mile radius surrounding the garage.

Maybe that's why he advised, when I inquired how long I needed to break in my new clutch, to wait until I was at the end of the street.
