? about AL @ Dynoflash
Honestly I think from all of the comments on here you have to remember guys there are different kinds of tuners. There are teh extreme less conservative tuners and there are the conservative safe tuners. When tuners tune your car you will have other tuners who push their cars to the limit compared to others who tune their cars conservatively safer than others.
Big Al I think is a tuner who pushes his tunes too much to the edge from what it seems which overwhelms the motor since he tries to get more and more out of it. Not taking sides at all but thats what I have come to my conclusions. Anyone else know of any other tuner that tunes less conservatively?

the only thing I knew about him originally is he would troll NASIOC telling the subaru community how inferior their cars are and bragging about his dyno numbers and quarter mile times (teh lehm). now he's a subaru fanboi? I'm confused.
I've been a member for 6 years and still a newbie. I don't post much so take my comment anyway you guys want. I will share that this guy made an *** of himself in Guyana where he brought his big mouth as carry on baggage but forgot his ability to deliver at the baggage belt at the airport. Caribbean Motor Racing Championship (CMRC) laughs at the individual.
His videos racing nobodys are hillarious.

How long ago did he tune your car? Didn't Bill at Pruven just tune your car with the 3582 turbo? Was the damage to your engine done before the lastest turbo install and tune ? Just asking because Al tuned my car back in 2006, I have since had it tuned a couple of years ago by Dan( Pruvens owner)I recentely ordered a FP Black from Pruven and Bill was going to tune the car for me and check the compression before the install. I saw your car a couple of weeks ago with no engine in it, nice clean evo 9 good luck with the engine build.
Your a brave one for going to Pruven. I have heard HORROR stories from that place. Even seen a "Pruven" intercooler......... It was a fricken ebay core with there logo welded on it and customer charge $1000+. I would have the car tuned by either The Shop CT or the guys over at Dynotech Tuning (forum sponsor). Both are very reputible shops. Whoever you are closer too would be your best bet and I know they both will hook you up.

Hey think what you want about Pruven, everybody is entitled to their opinion. I can't say anything bad because they have always giving me good service. Bill over at Pruven is a good guy and knows how to tune cars. Until I have a bad experience with them I will use them.

Can't believe people still go to Pruven Performance that's your problem right there. It's funny to me since I tried to warn all my Evo brothers about that shop and how shady they are. They did me super dirty Dan stealing money left and right you pay for parts they don't even put them in but you get charged like they did until you go to another shop and find out the truth! I remember when AMS found 4 cracked pistons they tried to say AMS did that not them.
And you know what I really don't care if I get warned by a mod. I have only dealt with 4 great tuners. Petey Turbo, Junior Tune, Kenny Tune @ The Shop CT, and John Visconti @ The Shop CT. For example as we all know the AMS Alpha GTR is insane and is tuned on a COBB AP. Well John along with ECUTEK has created a Rom for it similar to Tephra Mod. The Shop CT GTR is the 3rd fastest in the nation if I'm not mistaken. The four guys I mentioned all know Al very well and have probably been motivated by his sub par work

Al is a ****ty tuner end of discussion. Not only are his maps land mines for WOT pulls, he cant even tune for engine warm up enrichment, drivability, idle, or anything else that involves time and finesse.
I know everyone here is entitled to their own opinion so i will say my two cents here as well.
Al tuned my 2004 wrx and made around 370whp i never really had a problem with the car after the tune and was my daily driver.the car run really good until last evo vs subaru when i ran 13.0 @107mph and this i was babying the launch since i didn't wanna break my tranny.Someone was watching me at the etown all the way home because it was stolen the next day.
What i wanna say is that Al is a good guy if you get to know him and he knows how to make power, also i am sure for those people that blow their motor after the tune is probably because they give Al the go ahead to squeeze all the **** out of their car.He always gives you a choice Dyno or no dyno?when i reach a certain power i would tell him that's enough so he knows when the customer is please.I see alot of people have him keep pushing their cars its all about what the customers want and he tries to please them.I won't judge him like that and i will continue to recommend anyone to him if they need a tune i think he is a good tuner.
