is that where you go? I am thinking of just getting a full cobb turbo back (instead of harman) since cobb will be able to provide maps for their own stuff. I would need to go see force fed for the down pipe though....don't want to do it myself

we are still active duty... working on getting our shop together but doing quite well from our garages. We do not make maps for the Cobb AP... yet. We should have that capability pretty soon. We are in Fayetteville, and about 5 minutes up the road from Epic.

I could help you with your dp. I had to take mine off twice. Once at Force Fed and once in my drive way. I have all the tools we would need and with it being a brand new car none of the bolts should snap on us......hopefully.

Knock on some wood quick Ray haha...

Let us know if we can help with anything. We are able to take care of your X on Cobb or open source. Shoot me a PM if we can do anything for you. We just tuned a X yesterday with just intake and exhaust and gained something around 85whp and 80 ft/lbs

O cool. I like to do these things myself but heard the dp is a pain in the butt. When i get to the point i will drop you a pm and we can go ride around, have a BBQ or somethin.

Jason thanks for lookin out, but truthfully i would not feel comfortable taking my car to get programed in someones garage. Now to tear some part off, sure.

Which brings me to the next question, force fed, your shop is in Fayetteville? I should get cobb maps for most of my mods, but past that i will look you up for maps. Thanks.

By the graph it looks closer to 60 and 60...

Everyone has their comforts...

just to toss this out there... there isn't anyone down the street who has been tuning evos longer than us

we dont have a shop yet because we haven't formed a partnership with an already established local shop and work from there.... we are working to have our own building

I've been in the community and have had an evo for the past 8 years... i have tuned probably close to if not over 100 different evos and most of those several different times. I have tuned just about every platform the evo has been on. I know the car inside and out as i have seen practically every problem imaginable with these things. Since we have gone public about a month ago... we have been non-stop busy. I have personally tuned at least 5 different evos, Matt, our owner and secondary tuner has tuned 4 or 5 himself... we are now on our way to beginning our second complete engine build, we have done a handful of clutch installs, tranny installs and anything else that comes with owning and managing a shop. We seem to have plenty of time to do the work we need to do as our customers take priority over our own evos.

I have been in the military for 14 years in november... and yes army. The owner and I have spent collectively 18 years in the special ops community (non 18 series) hence the name, spec-ops motorsports.

good job CPT obvious... It was pretty close to 60/60 on the graph.. But when it rolled up and did its initial pull, his numbers werent exactly as stated. Once calibration was complete, then the graph was used. Either way, it was a good tune with such minimal bolt-ons.

comfort can be characterized in many different ways, but I believe the comfort in knowing that QUALITY greatly out weighs QUANTITY, surely will suffice for Force-Fed Performance. It's not all about the years of experience, but the knowledge that you gain from it.

Thanks for the promotion...

I didnt realize that you did pulls on a mustang dyno without doing the calibration first.... so you are saying that he did a pull and the calibration step was overlooked initially ? I'm sure you dont mean to insinuate that a level of incompetence existed. Or were you just speaking from your 4th point of contact in trying to cover 25hp by blaming it on the dyno having to be recalibrated ? Im glad quality will always prevail... as it should and definitely does under Spec-Ops ... it wasn't that it only made 60 more HP... because that is very significant... i was pointing out that the 85 as stated earlier contradicted with what the customer had verbally stated and physically posted.

Thank you for your time.

Hahahaha.. You are a trip.. The numbers that were stated were an approximate. Just like a VDR is an approximate. Was the value off? Yes. Thank you for catching it.

Now lets really talk about why I said what I said.... "Everyone has their comforts...
" statement. That was totally unnecessary. In fact, you do that quite often. Doesn't take a genius to search your posts to factually determine that. You make snide remarks and comments to solely downplay someone elses achievements. Grow up. Maturity doesn't come with time, which you let us know is so important, it comes with the apptitude to learn, grow and be humble. You display very little of those qualities when you constantly make those types of remarks. You earn respect for your achievements. Talking about them goes nowhere quickly. Sooner or later folks will learn your true nature and ummm experience.

And I definitely take the promotion statement as a compliment. Thank you Sir.

their comforts statement was directed to the fact the customer said he didnt want a shop that works from their garage. Had nothing to do with anyone... simply stating that that was his perogative, but here are our accomplishments from the garage setting. So whatever you read into that, that is you reading too deeply, looking for something. The comments that you see from me you consider unneccesary often are based on false statements... such as "no one in NC has been tuning evos longer than we have" that is totally BS.... and yes i commented about that making the correction. Because, long before you came to this area.... long before your group knew anyone down here, there was me... and not a single dissatisfied customer... amazing, and to include who you support as they were customers at one time as well and had i not gone to Korea.... you'd be also
