Until then, count down to next Tuesday for Flying low to head home safe.
i have known marty for years & he's a stand-up guy who's very knowledgeable, friendly & helpful !!!!:rock:FlyingLow said:On the issue with Marty he was recommend to me by a senior member here prior to him even being on this site. I traded emails with him and then a week later is when he got on the forum and then became a supporting vendor shortly after that. I was only looking for a good tuner for the STS using the SCT. I was going to do a full write up on my experience with Marty but I will cover a few things now.
We did my tuning on a Saturday. He removed the VEC 3, put on the 2 bar map and got work. Did about 10-12 runs and the tranny started leaking. He called a tranny guy that said it is probably just overheated and is overfilled which is causing it to vent out. He checked and that was indeed the problem. We did one more run to make sure and that is when the #3 let go. As I explained before a year earlier the #3 spark plug had impact. I didn't believe it then but do now that the #3 piston ring broke and just held together due to my very rich tune and meth. On the dyno we had the meth disconnected.
After it blew I was devastated. I mean just wanted to cry and wanted to just get rid of the truck. Marty told me not to make any rash decisions under stress. We got all my stuff out of the truck and then drove around for about 2 hours trying to find a rental car place that was open. While he was driving around he missed his daughters birthday party. He didn't get a friend or one of the people at the shop helping run the dyno, he drove me around instead of going to his own daughters party. I thought that said a lot about the man.
On the flip side things have taken twice as long as I thought. Some were legit delays and some were due to too much work and not enough time. Getting the cam journal turned went from 1 week to about 3-4. I have been riding the only 2 weeks left train for the past 6 weeks. But I would rather have quality work over rushed just get it out of the door work.
Taliban Dan installed my VEC 3 and tried to tune. He couldn't do the tune. Sean Roe tuned and did not get rid of my lean surges when cold and Charged me $250 an hour. Marty got 100 more TRQ then Roe tune in less then 1 hour. I was less then 500/500 on the Roe tune.
So that is a quick well not really quick but just a run down of things from me on KRC performance.
