See, now that's the kind of stuff I have always heard about him. But then, the guy earlier up the thread showed me some stuff to read and read some stuff that really scared me about Jeff. Man, so confused on what to do. Something like this, I'm going to spend like $400 to do and all that time, and something so sensitive as the PCM of my engine, I really want it to be perfect. O man I hate this car

I wonder if the "person above" has confused Jeff with someone else since the "person above" lives in Ill and Jeff is in NC. If I was you I would PM GB Vette, Cobra4b, Obxfunn and get their opinions since they have dealed with Jeff directly. I'll tell you this if you see a picture of what GB Vette has done to his engine (see below) I don't think he would have let Jeff go anywhere near it unless he was confident in Jeff's capabilities.

Im the "person above" and I have personaly been in a car that Creech has tuned. The car I rode in has bolt-ons and a small to medium cam that couldnt hold an idle and ran very poorly. Car stalled at nearly every stop.

Mitsubishi_freak, I know you did a search over hear. Now go and do a search over at LS1Tech and see some more opinions. Seems many more people over their know what a good tune feels like. Anyone that knows anything about tuning can tell you his skills are poor at best.

Ive also been in contact with a couple people through PM here that acknowledge his poor tuning skills, but yet I see them reccommending him to others on the board.
