Default Wait for Fasterproms tune or look elsewhere?

First, yes - I am impatient. Second, yes - Fasterproms customer service sucks which is why I'm in this predicament.

I have an autocross event on April 7th I don't want to miss and would like to take my vette, I'm signed up in the fun class as its the last event and I won't know the vette well enough to be competitive.

I am willing to wait for Jeremy but he is out of town until April 12th. Is it worth it to wait for him to tune it? Can someone else do it just as well? Know of anyone close willing to travel to tune?

Car will have TSP heads rebuilt/port polish/milled .030"/che trunion etc, tsp stage 3 cam, MSD Intake manifold, headers/catless xpipe, e-85 so I want it done right and safe. Thanks in advance.

Ummmmmm this time of year not giving anyone much time to get things done. Shops are swamped. Why not provide some reasons why a place sucks?

Well because I didn't want to put them on full blast. EDIT: I typed it out, but I erased it - I'll PM you the reason why I said that DebRed.

It was poor communication and no response over a period of over two months (since 1/24). This isn't a last ditch effort with only a weeks notice.

I wouldn't wait. There are too many other tuners out there. Personally, I wouldn't let him Fasterproms tune my lawn mower.

You have a better chance of seeing God than you do getting a return call from that guy. It took him a month to call me back and the only reason he did is I gave him a terrible google review. i went to Redline motor sports and couldn't be happier. They actually return phone calls!
