tried too you ignore my calls i have tried for the past couple days to tell you what was up with my car i never said it is brad brooks fault i hate him he blew up my car i was just asking what they thought about my car and where the problem could have layed thats all i even wanted to get that ignition done i was bringing my car back to you to get done i was happy with the outcome and i do understand that the car was stock i was just wondering why was it my car that blew up with in 3 hrs of having it i spent all this money on a hta 35r kit and aem and then 800 to get tuned and bam the car blows up and i was not mis treating it at all not the whole way home that day or to verizon i barely even boosted it. it was a good lesson learned though i guess
O yea seems weird he told you to use anti-lag or didn't advise against it, Brad told me not to use anti-lag all it did was break ****.

actually i found out why the antilag killed my motor because the timing was advanced way to much in the timing map that is why it sounded so harsh he just turned it on did not adjust it or anything this is what my tuner that i use now told me. i still have the map that brad did on my car the tuner looked at it and found the problem.

I am no Launch God so I may be pulling things out my A$$ but you say it bogs, could that be cause the clutch is being let out to fast and your not riding the clutch out a little bit?

To inject a bit of comedy... this is an Evo 9 I filmed at our local track that obviously had some issues figuring out how to launch 
Lot's of anti-lag on AEM and going nowhere

I would try to get the shop to fix it..
There are alot of good tuners out there, there are also alot of bad tuners.... Dont jump on the bandwagon tuner either.
I had a "bandwagon tuner" blow a headgasket in my honda a few years back....
I learned my lesson a long time ago. LEARN HOW TO TUNE YOUR OWN CAR!!!!!!

Jeez. Give it up man. Too much timing advance on anti-lag? Yeah, that makes sense.... learn how anti-lag works then figure out why that isn't possible.
Best of luck to you and have fun with the free set of coils you never paid for.
