i ran that same cam and did 420 rwhp with tfs215s and a ported fast 90

Swapped to a g5x3 now the car is at 450rwhp

my guess is 415 rwhp 385 rwt on a honest dyno

Heres what mine did with that exact cam

tfs215s, vengance ported fast 90/90 xs power 13/4 headers vararam etc.

[/QUOTE]

 

still nothing .... this is getting ridiculous

I spoke with Mike yesterday he said your cars gonna be worked on tomorrow (today) and " There should be no reason why it would not be done tomorrow "

called Chris @ 2 and he said he's call me back in an hour and never did.

Ive missed the two biggest car shows of the year I go to because of this.

 

Tuesday my car will have been there 3 weeks.

 

it is now 2:36pm Monday do you know where you corvette is? Because I dont, no call yet. I dont care how busy you are, its really not hard to call someone or send someone an e-mail giving them an update after 3 weeks

 

Your car has been anything but a tune.. Hence why it has taken longer. Shotty wiring and install has been the reason for the delay.

You were scheduled for a tune and would have been ready the next day it was dropped off, now we have had to fix problems with the car that was not scheduled. DIY nightmares puts you in last place, simple as that.


The guys took care of your wiring issue's, and the MAP sensor that had a pin bent down, along with some other items so I should be tuning today.

If you wish to sit here and complain about dropping off a basket case, you are more then welcome to come pick up your car as it sits. You will owe for the labor we have spent on it already, and you can have it tuned elsewhere.

Rant off...

 

OUCH!!!

 

Another happy customer!

 

That's fine and good But its pretty sad I have to get an update VIA forum post is it not?

 

Some customer service , I get criticised for complaing. My cars a basket case because a map sensor wire was poorly installed.

 

No, I criticised you for bashing us when we are straightening out your install.

It's also not very surprising what happened to your car on the first dyno pull as well.. Please call the shop tomorrow to decide how the repaires will be handled.

 

I was in no way bashing you. if I was properly informed from day from day one I would not have wrote anything.

and I dont understand what you mean first dyno pull ?

 

Wow! I had my '02 ls1 tuned by ECS at Carlisle last year (along with several others in our group) and we all thought it was an amazing difference. I dealt with Chris (I think). Everyone there was friendly and helpful even though they were super busy. I plan to take mine back to them soon after my LTs go on. That said:

This sounds like a strange situation. Certainly ECS should have contacted you long long long before posting ANY reply on a forum. I know ECS has a great rep, but if theyre looking for a way to trash it- this will work.

I hope your repairs are simple and affordable. I also hope you were calling them. The best shops are always busy but still- the squeaky wheel gets the oil.

 

First off, thanks for your business at Carlisle, and I'm glad your happy with our work!

As far as this situation, the customer has been informed of the issues along the way, he called regularly along the way which is fine. He just did not like that we did not stop the shop on a dime to correct his problems. We will not ever push back a scheduled customer (like yourself) to correct issue's with a home or outside install. It's not fair to us, or our other customers. A car scheduled for a tune would have been taken care of promptly and on time, this turned into much more then a tune.

The customer certainly would have been notified by phone of his ongoing list of problems, but since he felt it was in his best interest to negatively post his issue's both here and in the C5 gen section, then I feel it is fair for us to post up why, and let you guys decide what the real situation is here.

I think at this point it is very clear to 99% of the people who have read this saga, and I personally do not feel this is viewed negatively towards our company by anyone who views it for what it is, and who we value as a customer.

We will have the head off before the end of the day, it is up to the customer if he wishes to post up pictures, we are finished with this thread at this point.

Sorry for the drama guys!

 

by all means Doug go ahead and post pictures. I'm looking forward to speaking with you next week on this matter

 

If this is the case how come everytime I talk to Chris he understands where I'm coming from and what I'm talking about.. and On here all you do is deface my credibility and state I'm bashing you.

please I urge you to find somewhere in any of my threads where I Bash you or your shop directly


your own partner states I am not wrong for saying anything i've said

"No you are not wrong at all for venting here. We had spoke about 5-6 times over the course of when you dropped the car here. You had mentioned that I did not call you and frankly I felt I did not need to being that you had called me just about every other day "

and has told me he accepts 100% responsibility for the delay

The total labor for the repair was 2 hours and your acting like you replaced my whole wiring harness. if you took 15 mins per day it would still take less then 3 weeks


what you need to do is focus on me since I'm still a "customer" and stop worrying about saving face since I'm not attacking your buiness

 

What happened inside the motor?

ECS is very busy lately, I know personally. Like they said, they have other customers to take care of us well. If you ran the shop, would you rather spend time on something that came in botched, or something you installed yourself and had a timeline on?

 

Chris told me last night Doug thinks its just something in the top end but since Doug dosent talk to me directly I couldnt tell you. Today Chris says heads off and the block is cracked.

your question about running a shop I dont have a answer for you since I dont get paid to run a shop.

...

 

Cracked block. Ouch.
