Free Dynoflash tune

So as some of you may have read in a previous thread of mine, I had a discouraging experience with buying an Fp Red from Al (Dynoflash). Since then, Al has offered me a free tune (with the exception of dyno time at $150) in order to help resolove my dissapointment. I decided to take Al up on his offer because I believe in giving people second chances and obviously free does sound very appealing. I will be bringing my ECU to Al tonight to get a base tune in order to get my car to him. Depending on his schedule I should be getting a dyno tune in the near future. I will post my dyno results and other feedback after the tune is completed.
My mods are as follows:

Fp Red (ported)
Labonte meth kit
ETS 4" FMIC w/customized 2.5" piping
Magnus sheet metal intake manifold (velocity stacks)
Boomba 75mm throttle body
Buschur 3" TBE
Megan 02 housing
SBR exhaust manifold
HKS 272s

850cc injectors
Fp high pressure wastegate actuator
ARP headstuds
Buschur dual valve springs/retainers
HKS DLi II
Forge BOV
Buschur MBC
ACT 6 puck sprung with streetlite flywheel

Sounds like Al is going out of his way to make sure you are satisfied. I like reading stories like this where the vendor actually is helpful after the sale. Be sure to keep us posted and results after shes tuned! Oh and just out of curiosity what size injectors are you running?

wow i just read your first thread where you dragged his name though the mud over this whole fp red issue now you posting all nice and saying he is giving me this and that. You do realize you should have talked to him first and attempted to resolved this issue and we all on the boards would have never known of this experience because he would have made apporiate steps to correct it. Instead you cry and whine about it first and gather the troops together then say im going to Ivey tune and now all of a sudden complete 180 and your going back to the place that supposly screwed you. Sounds like there was more going on then you posted. I swear i cant stand how people on this board do all this vendor and dealer bashing and show complete hate and post it yet you go back to the place that caused you this fustration. You should have never opened your mouth. Next time there is a actual PROBLEM THAT cant be resolved by the vendor either flat out refusing or just not willing to do anything then post.

So your post from earlier today is different?

They could have called or emailed me and let me know NOPE instead i had to wait a month for me to finally email them and get told what is going on. I demanded a refund which was given to me and called Viz and they had the body kit in stock and shipped it next day

yea why dont you read the topic of that thread. It said should i buy from bodykits.com i stated my experience with buying a body kit from them. that happened a 3 months ago. When it happened I did not rally the troops or start my own thread about it did i. I dont think so in fact the only time i have talked about it was just now in that thread. One paragraph about it did not go on and on and did not say they did not do anything about it. I also said they refunded my money i email them and they told me the truth and refunded my money. Had i not done that who knows how long it would have been. Starting a whole thread talking trash about a vendor and gathering troops is what im saying dont do. Also if the experience was sooooooo bad why go back there. Since then I have not and will not ever buy anything from bodykits.com nor recommend them. We all have had bad experiences it happens but not giving one a chance to correct it first before posting to the masses is my problem. It would be a different story if somebody was asking about a vendor practices(like the thread i posted in) and as it appears ALOT of folks on here dont like dynoflash(al). Hell i even know myself to not buy products from him because alot of folks have had terrible experiences. If the op did not like the whole deal which sounded shady when he was explaining it he should not have done it and should not have gone back free tune or not. So what if the tune is bad or not to his liking. You going to start another thread about that before letting him correct it again?? leave it at that.

his post probably got this action to happen. I dont know the whole story to say though

the free tune is great, but you are still getting money made on you on the dyno fee. Nothing is free. Remember that
Still better then nothing I guess.

I edited my post... I have 850cc injectors. They should be sufficient with meth.

i love how in all his youtube videos he's bragging about the "work" he does. if you're good enough at what you do, you don't need to brag

if he got that camera in my face, i'd break it
