Since my brother made a very eloquent post in regards to his bs phone conversation he had with them.....allow me to clarify.
I dealt with J and M Motorsports directly Thursday. I employed them for a gear install and some tune freshening. My car had a nasty flat dead spot in it, and I wanted the shifts firmer. I dropped off the car and they had it on the lift an hour later when I drove by already removed of its axles and pumpkin cover. Five hours later i swung by to picke her up. My original quote for the gears was 230.00 for the parts. They ended up being $280 or so, but Mike gracisously charged me the quoted 230.00 and trashed the original invoice. Nice. They told me my bearings all looked fresh, so they didnt need to be replaced. Good again, some shops shaft you for things like that. Apparently they checked my tune and told me it was complete trash. The car was pinging like crazy, and even though I use 93 octane, he had to give me a 91 tune. Shifts like a champ, and the car is a LOT quieter. :confused: I'm guessing the tune wasnt what it should be and bottling up the exhaust. It has a full kooks system, mid lengths back. He suggested a 90mm MAF, and even put one aside for me come dyno time. All and all, i'm happy with my J and M experience. Mike was very knowledgeable in regards to the cars, and we got talking about blowers. Pretty much convinced me to get roots style or hang in for the twin screw. I still have to get the Lidio tune on my Xcal, then i'll get it dynoed and post numbers.
