First off. I know some people have had good experiences with Race Related. I didnt. And after leaving the shop I talked to a couple customers and tuners that had the same experience I did.

We make it up to Race Related by 10:25am so we could be the first togo on. James straps down the car by 10:35am. Seems like a real good guy at first. Goes through some instructions with the owner of the car, etc. We make a couple pulls. We can't get a signal from the pickup. We try putting the pickup in different locations. Still nothing. We make some more passes todo some lower RPM tuning where we could actually get a signal from the pickup. We goto find James. He is no where to be found. His truck is gone. Two customers come in looking for James. I tell them I dont work here and he left. There was only one other employee in the shop and he didnt know howto operate the dyno. James returns an hour later. He tells us to try the pickup on the distributor ground out. We try that and still nothing. James says he will try another pickup. Another half hour or more goes by. James is still working on a customer's Mustang. My friend John/Mtber comes in as he has a dyno appointment after us. We were not made aware of this appointment. John/Mtber tries a couple things with no success. We finally decide, still with no help from James, to pull the car off the dyno and let the next car on. We leave togo empty the catchcan. James told the customer paying for the dyno time he could come back and use his time. John/Mtber calls me to tell me a setting(s) in the dyno software was incorrect and/or off. Great. Wasted time. We come back after about an hour to hour and a half. Mtber and I were in the customer's car. Showing Mtber how much AEM EMS sucks The customer comes out upset. He tells me we need to leave. He wanted to take James up on the four hours next weekend as it is his birthday today and he had a birthday party togo with his family. James still asks for the $400.00.

Long story short. Horrible experience with Race Related.
