            EVI is a pretty well known company, and IIRC, they are/were sponsors on this site. . .

                  Yes Phil is the guy running the cars on the dyno Saturday, but just like any other shop he has a wait list I'm sure the dyno day doesn't help his schedule but its a little extra cash and a fun event for everybody. I'm sure you could ask him about it while your there, his prices will be cheaper than what EVI or Livernois quoted you as hes a smaller operation but the car has to be 100% ready or he may have you bring it back if you have bugs to work out on your own as he just doesn't have that kind of time to do it all.

                    You could also reach out to our sponsor, Steve -- BLKHAWK and see if he could put a base tune on your PCM for you. He works at Vector Motorsports in Clinton Township and also does street tuning on the side up in Port Huron.

                      called jakes up dr phill squeezed me in for a tune friday!!!! he said he cant promise it will be done but he will try hes very nice and i a really appricate him doing that for me

                      side note- i had a long long day!!! the trailer i used first had a wale tail and exhaust couldn't clear it... couldn't lower the trailer ether... got stuck on my headers on the way down and broke my oil pressure sending unit.... so lost my oil pressure.... but it was outstanding
                      called a buddie up and he helped me trailer it to jakes, i got it there a bit later than they expected *i called and let them know i had some issues and would be later* im sure that put a burdin on phil i feel pretty bad for the rush situation =/ i hope its not a hard tune for him he did not have to do it for me but he did great guy and a huge favor to me!!

                      hope my car passes the test!!!!!

                        well bad news.. my car can not be tuned apparently i have a list of issues
                        my cam positing sensor is bad (im almost positive a wire came loose in the rear the prongs was kinda fishy when installed) same issue my old car had false start here and there
                        oxygen sensors are bad (they worked right before i pulled them and drove on a trailer)
                        coolant lines are not properly ran?? i have no idea what could be missed

                        honestly kinda mad at *Dean at jakes he told me aslong as i bring my car there they can fix my oil pressure sending unit... i got there a little later than expected like a hour and a halfish but i called in advanced and he told me aslong as i get there before 8pm it will be fine.... i was there at 6ish everything was pretty cool phil was nice about it but i knew he was mad at dean for scheduling me in but he said he will try to get to it. then after that dean told me that theres no time to fix my oil pressure sender until monday when i got there *witch they could still tune the car* so they set it up to be tuned and they could not tune it -> (i understand why) but then now my car can not be fixed monday he says? then he also told me around july he might be able to get me in! and he needed my car out of the shop... thats were i was pretty mad i have no truck or trailer and the friend i had helped me is up north this weekend im screwed now ethir i drive it home or pay out my ass for a tow...

                        i have no idea what to say... poor planning

                        if anyone can help me im in need... horrible start to my weekend

                          I'm a few miles away from Jakes and I could help with tools but if Phil changed your cal for the new injectors you could limp it home.
