Anyway he admitted it wasnt right and he fixed it. I dont know how this car was tuned didnt ask and i dont care he just told me he had devo do it well there were takin care of a couple other things. So thanks for your concern an have a nice day
Besides the point Adam tunes cars with a wideband theres no way your buddies car was seeing a/f ratio 12:5 thats just waiting for something to blow. So please let us know how you discovered that his tune was half a$$ed because from my knowledge no tuner would allow a 12:5 a/f ratio. I think you just dont know what your talking about and making up another lie on these forums.

Adam is a good guy who does honest good work.

I personally haven't had him work on my car, but wouldn't hesitate to do so.

Devo has worked on really fast drag cars. It worked on Dan Bajalis car which we all know is gonna break 8 second passes this year. We also know that they have worked on Mike Reichens car that broke many records and currently holds the standing mile record. His car to had plenty of 9 second passes.

Glad to see you on here Adam! I've tagged along to the shop a few times with my good friend Ivan. He had a red Evo you threw some stuff on, and then he bought that white GT35R powered car from Arlington heights last summer that he traded you his white hood for your carbon fiber one. Sad to say right before winter it was vandalized and totalled. I'm sure you'll see him/us this spring for a tune on his MR. I actually want to bring the car by sometime soon to see if you can track down a boost leak. I bought my car from Autobarn Nissan in Evanston and had Devo stickers on the back sides.

Anybody have Adam's phone number or an alternate number to Devo Tuning? I tried contacting his business but it says the telephone lines are being checked for service issues. I have been trying for weeks now but still no luck. Any number would be appreciated. Thank you.

I think we've all seen what Adam is capable of producing if ya got a chance to check out Dan Bajalis's car. Even though there was some bad luck at shootout 07 with the fuel pump, the car will be out this season running some seriously fast times. The problem with the pump was noticed in time. The car has since had the fuel system cleaned out and a brand new Weldon pump installed in place of the bad one.

I suggest for anyone that questions Adam's work, that they wait and check out the car that should be out very soon. The custom one off parts and fabrication going into this car should definitely show everyone in the DSM community that Devo Tuning is at an equal playing level with the rest.

BTW, for reference the 847-852-1800 has been changed.. The best number to reach them at is on the shop cell at 847-219-0029. I'll post the new land line number tomorrow, just want to double check first.

The new "land line" shop phone number is 847-387-3826, or you can call the shop cell 847-219-0029.

Went back to AMS instead.

Adam is a good guy and he will tell you it like it is..... There are alot of people who get things done to there car and dont like the results, so who do they blame???? The person who did there work of course. Any where from power results to part fitment....

About a year ago i had adam install cams, mani, head studs, o2 housing, and a forge actuator. they test drove it and the car was making way more boost then capable for pump gas. And he told me straight up... DO NOT BEAT ON THIS CAR, untill you install a boost gauge and a boost controller. Well i didnt, and i installed those parts and my car is still kicking *** today..... Now there are alot of idiots out there in this industry! I MEAN ALOT, and im willing to guess that same situation has happend befor and im cofident that through out all the dumb a$$es i have met. They would have ripped it the first chance they got. So whos fault is that?, well the idiot who drove the car. But wether those same people are telling there friends, a forum, or explaining to there parents wiping there tears away.....They sware its DEVO's fault.

Everyone has problems with shops. wether customers from AMS might start taking there car to DEVO, or DEVO to Strictly, Strictly to AMS. It happens. For lots of reasons. If you have a problem wit any shop, id say take it back and work with them. But people who cant take responsability for there own actions and think they can get something for nothing.... Where ya gunna go when those shops get sick of the bullsh!t and close there doors?
