well, i was tuned by doug before SS. I had a very unsatisfying tune from Doug. I thought the car was running strange after he had touched the car. Also, his tuning only took about an hour. I decided to hold off having fun driving the car and wait for the almighty SS (1st time). When SS did a couple of pulls, he immediately stopped the car and looked at me. He said "Who the hell tuned your car?!" I said, "Doug." He was so shocked that he called Doug out on it and Doug had no response. SS had said that my motor was tuned as if i had a 30-35r. I was tuned way to strong. He started over and tuned my car for a good 8hrs to fix my problems. After multi resets on fuel duty cycles and timeing changes, the car came out smooth.

Now some might say, well, SS wanted to have his very own map. No, he made that clear to me. He went through maps of different cars and showed me one similar to doug's. He had pulled up a FP red map, that wasnt at full potential with all supporting mods. My map was just shy of how that car was tuned. Thus, i never went with doug again.

Doug has done some awesome things, But if you dont have a huge setup, think about it before you use Doug. Doug will tune the hell out of a 30, 35, 40r though. If i go that route, i might go back to doug for that tune. Ask vtec2sti, he will tell you whats up. When you run mid 11's with a 35r and first time at the track...Doug FTW.

At heart, SS will be my tuner. For how much money i have dedicated to his services, i will not change.
