Guys I have had the privelage of having John at the Horsepower Ranch tune my vehicle last night. I feel it necessary when an enthusiast finds an absolutely classy organization and individual to share such said experiences. This is not to say others do not exist in the NW area, but of my experiences so far he is BY FAR the best. Not to mention, best driveability and the most exciting thing of all... BEST #'s thus far!
First off when I called he was the absolutely most flexible on schedule, working around his other source of income to make the magic happen. I live in Portland and his shop is outside of Seattle. That means alot.
I showed up early with my buddy (bayboss) and we met up with an amazingly cool fellow stangnetter (Wanna_be_gt). Johns wife came out and made us all cheesburgers since we were early and were waiting for dyno time.
John asked me the important questions necessary, strapped the car in and actually asked if I wanted to drive. NEVER has that been offered to me before.
John asked what my initial timing was, and just to validate my tdc 10 degree setting he checked HIMSELF.
John hooked up a line to my AFPR to also check boost levels, again, NEVER before done in the past.
When John SHOWED ME what was going on, again never done before, he noticed my belt was slipping at the 10lb mark. HE tightened the belt and HE added another vortech bolt that was missing. World class folks.
Best of all, he had me go drive it around the block to make sure real world was accurate with the dyno to ensure driveability. I just couldnt have asked for a better experience and could easily say I would have traveled further just to experience this. Not to mention the drive home was much more fun with another 50hp on tap!!
I would seriously consider him if you were getting any variant of Mustang tuned as he obviously knows his stuff!!!
