What does someone spinning a rod bearing have to do with tuning? Did it burn a hole in a piston? Did it hammer the crap out of it with detonation?

The guy flat out said it wasn't the tune on page number 3. Did you read that far?

The fact of the matter is this.. we CHOOSE who was want to use to tune. Just like we choose blower brands, turbo brands, etc. I chose Lund because of the experience, sheer number of customers, and record setting cars. If I wanted Ken Bjonnes tuning my shit, I would have him doing so. If I wanted Amazon, or Bama, or Eric @ HP Tuners, or any other tuner tuning cars for us, I would. We CHOOSE to use Lund because they give us the best chance of success with the lowest incidence of failure. That's not just about selling product, that's about selling product to our customers that is reliable, proven, and the best that we can offer.

If you want to use the guy, fine.. But, this whole "lund sucks.. Ken is better" thing is lame, and it pisses me off.

Are you referring to Kelly at BMR? Because if that's the incident you are referring to then I can tell you that Kelly himself told me (FB Messenger) that he lost a bottom end due to a faulty IC Pump from his VMP kit, not Ken's tuning. The same car that is running 8's at 150+ on a tiny blower.

Also, please search, no where will you find me saying that Lund sucks, nowhere. I know better then that, I'm just sharing my experiences while Ken was a Lund employee as well as after. All you saw when you opened this thread was "Oh no, I better do damage control because my only tuner might lose business to another tuner.

As a non tuning vendor, you don't really have any options. Lund is it, or Ken, and obviously you have beef with Ken. I know all about Amazon, Rick's dyno is 7 miles from my house, and we all know better to use Bama, even the noobs. Your choices are extremely limited.

Ah my bad, it was a different one. I'll look for the other one tomorrow.

 

[zaquhree]

Ah my bad, it was a different one. I'll look for the other one tomorrow. How about your car? But but but, I thought you said "ZERO,"

Are you implying a tune caused an oil pump gear to shatter? So one can say a tuner can tune OPG behavior?

 

[Burnin4]

It took all of about 5 minutes.. Sorry, I type quickly. That's 5 minutes that I will gladly spend defending a company that has done a lot for us.

Faulty pump, huh? So, where were the safeguards to pull timing once IAT's got above a level that was unsafe? Gotta love tuning on the edge. Who needs safeguards, right?

Don't like the mic pic? Cool deal man.. I didn't want to waste time looking over mic pics to make sure I got the best one. I'd rather spend that time defending Lund, and trying to spread the truth about what's really going on.

What motor did we blow up again? Oh.. you mean an oil pump gear failure? Right, I forgot to have the tuner check the "don't blow the fucking oil pump gear up" tab when they wrote the file. Get out of here with that nonsense. I was honest about it, and didn't even have to say a word, did I?

All you need to hear from me? lol.. You don't dictate what I say here. If you don't like what I have to say, then find the fucking back button on your browser and give it a little tap.

I have never been out of shape on this forum, EVER. But I'll be damned if I'm going to sit here and watch this bullshit go down without saying something.

Uh oh, someone's upset, I know your secret. From all those questions you had I'd swear you are a tuner. No? Ah, that's right, you sell kits.

"I'd rather spend time defending Lund." = Panic, go into defense mode or sales might go down. What bullshit am I spreading? Please, go back and read everything I said about Lund, nothing but my actual experience which wasn't terrible. I did provide the wrong link, have no fear though I'll find it tomorrow, just for you.

By the way, I hope your turbo kit kicks ass. I'm gonna be all over your customers results, and I mean all over them ;)

 

[Travis@boostworks]

Actually, our sales are just fine. If you honestly knew anything about our company, you would know that we bend over backwards to help. This isn't just about money. It's about respect. Unfortunately, some people lack it, or their parents failed them growing up.

What I said about Ken is my opinion. Has nothing to do with sales, or even Lund for that matter. If you think it's bullshit, then that's your problem.

I've more than earned my respect in this community, sir. My only mistake tonight was allowing someone like you to get under my skin.

Be all over what? Lol.. Good night man.

 

[Travis@boostworks]

Right.. Keep digging. I'm sure you'll conjure up something.

What about our car? What if I told you that Lund didn't tune it? Would that make the pump gear failure less appealing?

Grow up man.

It's really simple.. Build in failsafes for high IC temps. Then you won't have a failure because your tune didn't cover for a possible IAT issue. If it wasn't important, we wouldn't log it. Failsafes are there for a reason.. Especially when you are running that hard. I know Kelly.. I don't need to see your messages.

Quite frankly, Lund isn't losing anything. Those guys are more swamped than they know what to do with. I am sticking my neck out because I choose to. Do you think me saying anything (or not) will change the outcome of me being able to provide tunes for my customers? Nope.. I said what I said because of respect.

I don't have options? Then how come we used Alex Peitz to tune our customer's turbo car? Lund was busy and we've used Alex With some GM and Ford stuff with good success. We also have the option to work directly with Ken Christley @ KB on anything KB related. Again, we choose to work with those who provide the best chance of success for our customers, have professionalism, with a good track record.

If you choose to read more into it than that, of course, that's your choice.

Lol.. Not important anymore I suppose. Only matters if a Lund tunes car loses a bearing or pump gear.

I couldn't agree more as i had the exact same experience which is why i recommended Ken. After dealing with him it was night and day.

Who is this Ken you speak of?

 

[Travis@boostworks]

Who is this Ken you speak of?

Guy who used to work for Lund. Was fired and now tunes cars on his own. He is willing to tune a little more aggressively and has made more power for several folks here.

 

[16s550]

I see. Well I've read parts of the thread. I never heard anything bad about Lund until reading this thread. Regardless there's always someone that has something bad to say about another. I'm still interested to get the ghost cam and e85 tune from Lund. I also like the nguage option.

I know how u feel. I'm doing the remote tuning right now. I asked a couple of questions and nothing. I'm on my third revision. It just seems like they copy and paste lol. Anyone know how many revisions it takes for the tune to be ready? I was told to do 1800-6000rpm pull on 3rd gear that's it. Anyone heard of Dakota Cuzz that's the person that is sending me the revision.

It depends on your car and setup. I think 5-6 revisions to get a car dialed in is amazing. Thing how many passes it takes a dyno tuner to dial it in with the car in their hands. Remember then a remote tuner is relying on an end user to give them the correct data for them to tweak. Send an email with your questions separate if you need to.
