I ordered my tune last Friday and haven't received it yet is this normal from Doug? I understand he is a very busy man, but I'm dying to get my tune. I've tried calling him a couple times with no success anyone know what's up with Doug.

He's just been very busy, we emailed back & forth in the beginning of the week about getting a race tune to me and he told me he's just backed up a little. Trust me and the rest of his customers, he's worth the wait. 
Thanks Doug!
Thanks Doug!

Just spoke with his wife(?) and Doug is under the weather apparently. I have no doubt whatsoever that his tune is well worth the wait. The only problem is that I've been running my car untuned (not all the time but on weekends) and I'm having to do a little bit of traveling this weekend and really don't want to hurt my car. When I say it's untuned, I mean I bought an Xcal 2 from a friend but it wasn't programmed for any of my mods so everything is off. I really can't wait to see what his tune will do to liven up my car even more.

If there is anyone out there that probably needs a vaca, it's Doug. The man has been slammed for the past 2 years at least.

Got the tune last night, and absolutely love it. It is everything everyone said it would be. It was well worth the wait and Doug even helped me through the whole install. Thanks Doug and thanks everyone here for letting me know what I was missing out on.

I got my race tune last night as well, loaded it into the tuner and then the car, haven't even had a chance to really get on it, but it sure does pull hard. Can't wait to go back to the track

I just got back from Concord, NC and had my car dynoed (portable dyno-jet), everyone was thinking about 285 hp. Where we were doing the pulls in the parking lot it was 103 deg. 15 perc. Humidity, I had my car loaded with Doug's 93 Torq. tune and I ended up pulling 295 hp with 314 tq. every one was pretty suprised including myself. I should have put the performance tune in and maybe I could have seen 300 hp. The guys that Pro-Dyno said that is the highest they have seen with just the basics I have on the car for any 05-06. The A/F ratio was at 12.5 all the way through. I normally run the 87 octane tune, this was the first time I ran the 93 and on my way home to VA Beach (350 miles) I got 28.8 mpg for the trip, I get 26.6ish when I make the same run with the 87 tune. Gotta love Doug!!!!

How is everyone's low end torque with the race tune? I can't even squeel the tires off the line with traction control off and it's isn't very easy in second? Anyone else have this problem with the race tune. I love the power band that it has and it excelorates like a bat out of hell but it just won't squeel the tires.

I did leave out that I had a JLT when I listed my mods, would that make that big of a difference on the performanc? Also will adjusting the WOT A/F ratio correct for the lack of listing the CAI or do I just need to ask Doug to redue that tune? I know that due to not listing it bank 1 and 2 are running lean.

Ok so Doug sent me a refreshed tune that has my JLT as a mod and WOW! Holy Burnout Batman. Now I really know what you guys have been talking about. It was a night a day difference. Doug is the man.
