The first time I went to JDM's I thought I was getting hosed. He was so into this other guy, he barely said hi to me. But once he got into my truck, it was like that was the only thing in the world that mattered. They truly have a pasion for these trucks, making people happy, and doing things right. JDM may be hard to get a hold of, and they may charge a high dollar, but you get exactly what you pay for....top notch service and parts! I proudly fly the JDM banner on my truck and wouldn't have it any other way!

The best part is that they didn't rape me on the labor charges either. Anyway, just wanted to throw a bone out to Jim and the guys there.

agreed
finally got to visit the shop for the first time today. Now I know why these guys are always hanging out there!!!!
Had my truck dynod and custom tuned. Jim spent the better part of the day on my truck alone. I was worried about running lean, the first pull was so rich it was dropping off the graph!!!
Jim changed a couple things, brought the a/f up a bit, but still conservitive and picked up 30hp and 70ftlbs!!!!!
I am now the official dyno *****
If you guys have never had your truck dynoed, you need to do it. It is like nothing you have ever heard before. I head this freaking noise comming from outback and was like what in the christ is that???
It was Gator's truck

Thank you to everyone for all your support and kind words. We have taken a beating on the boards so it is nice to hear some more pleasant commentary. It is always a pleasure putting names with the faces that I talk to on the phones and on the websites. I look forward to seeing the same faces and meeting many more new ones in the future. Thank you all from myself and the whole team at JDM.

numbers
416.87 hp
522.41 ft lbs
This was done after Jim doctored up my tunning to level out the a/f. This was also my street side of the chip, so would have been a litttle higher on the strip side, but i was more concerned about the tune then the numbers.
A/f number are still very conservitive. Floats right around the 11 mark. I'm sure Jim could have gotten more out of it but i'm very happy where it is.
Just for kicks. The first pull I made was 386.37 / 456.52. A/f dropped off the graph at about 3500rpm and didn't come back till around 5000 rpm.

Positive posts are nice to read for a change. All in all I think the tuners do a great job at what they do, and if we don't like a particular tuner than we can just buy from another. If we could all just do that instead of bashing the one or ones that we don't like every chance that some of us get these boards would be a lot better off. There are tons of things to talk about and post about with out all the bashing.
I have dealt with all of the top three tuners; JDM, JLP, and PSP. They all three have given me great service.
I choose and for a long while now to just use one, JDM, to me for what I want out of my truck it is the best way to go.(in my opinion)
That way they know your truck, and they know the history of it. It is their tuning that they tweak to get what you want. It saves them time for not having to guess at what was done to it last by someone else.
JDM has been great to me, and I know that I will reach my goals with them, and I wouldn't want it any other way. So JDM keep up the great work and I love to read about all of the satisfied customers out there.
See you guys soon,
Bill
