First of all lets get this straight. I didn't do any "tuning" on Dan's car. Dan called me on the phone probably 2 months ago and was asking if I could change around the transmission ratios in a chip because he changed from the aode to the 4r70w transmission and the ratio's are different. I told him for a basic chip with the transmission ratio's changed it would be around $300 or he could get a dyno tune with everything for $500. He decided that he would go with the basic chip and install it himself. He took the chip and about a week later he called asking about maybe doing the upgrade to the dyno tune but never decided on anything at that time. Two weeks later he calls and said that he talked to superchips and they have the perfect transmission program for his trans swap and asked if I could burn one of their programs to his chip. We set it up for the following Friday to do their trans program and a dyno tune. Well Friday came and went and no Dan. Dan calls on monday or tuesday and said that he was busy and couldn't make it. No problem and we schedule it for Friday again. Well Friday came and went no Dan. Oh well I guess he was busy or changed his mind. A couple of weeks later I get a call from Superchips and they said that he is upset and was wondering what was going on. Well anyway a week later he brings the car with 2 programs that superchips sent him. I burned the 2 programs to the chip and installed them in his car. Went for a test drive and I felt the one program shifted a little early but the other wasn't too bad. Dan picks up his car and comes back the next morning and says that the Superchips program is making his car miss and he wants to dyno tune it. Well it didn't seem to be running that bad the day before so I walked out to the car and opened the hood. I looked under the hood and lightly touched the mass air meter and it fell off (wasn't even tightened up) and there was a burned up spark plug wire. I informed him of the problems and said maybe he should fix them and drive it for a day or so to see if everything was ok. Next thing I heard is that superchips had another program and he wanted me to burn it for him. He calls on Friday and said he would be by later in the afternoon. Well I get a call about 5:00 and he said he was tied up and will be late. I told him I couldn't stay too late but If he hurried up I would be here. I left after 7:00 and still no Dan. The next day Joe said that he showed up after I left wanting to know where I was. I don't mind waiting and anyone that knows us, knows we are usually here late every day but that particular day I had some previous plans. Just wanted to set this straight because I didn't do any "tuning" on Dans car. He had me install some programs from Superchips.
