Actually EFI has a PID for a calculated horsepower reading, but I have no idea how accurate it is. Would seem to me that if it was REAL accurate, tuners wouldn't be saying they needed to put cars on a dyno.

Plus you could tweak stuff on the dyno better than on the highway(and not get a ticket doing it). I'm not trying to be a salesman for them, but they did a great job on my car and beat a well known former vendor of this site(in Seffner)by about 25% too. Maybe it was just a communication issue or a misunderstanding. Again, I don't know but if you guys could bury the hatchet it would probably benefit you both. They do seem to be a wealth of knowledge on the LS engine and GM cars in general. Life is too short to carry a grudge. Just my opinion.....

After I had brought my car home from Aaron Scott's shop and saw everything that still needed to be done on the car, especially the disaster of a fuel system that Chris Harwood installed, I went to them for help. And they completely snubbed me. Wouldn't even reply to my emails. You know what they say about a "friend in need"? Well it works in the opposite direction as well. That was THEIR choice, not mine.
