And if you do accept a private owner for testing, you have to eat the costs - it's just good business.
Secondly, the only remaining issues are tuning for forced inducted applications where there is a significant difference between reported MAF and what the PCM calculates should be entering the engine based on normally aspirated conditions. There are no other issues. If you're stock, don't waste your money. If you're modded, you will not realize the full potential of those modifications without tuning.
Lastly, everyone knew the risks going in. They accepted these risks. What's silly is later complaining about the risks should they ever surface.
However, you do raise a good point about Vince's availability. At present, Vince is the only person with the hardware/software to generate tunes, so this is a valid concern. Eventually, select dealers will have the ability to provide programming support, but I do not know when this will happen.

Silly? Only thing that got mentioned was that Vince was not responding to e-mails.... To which I say if it's important pick up the phone... which is what I do... But I hardly call that silly...
I don't think anyone is voicing any other concern but that... The TRUTH is the GROUP BUY announced while Vince was GONE forced Beauwulf and me to voice our concerns about the tune. We were both waiting for Vince to return and review all the data! But that GROUP BUY FORCED our hand and we posted our experience to that point! We were certainly being patient waiting for 3 weeks... I was all set to give Vince all the time he need to review things..
IMHO all this could have been avoided it the Alpha car has been 100% stock and the OTHER people involved would not have hyped the 24 RWHP / 17 RWTQ gain before THEY had all the details...
That being said I look forward to working with Vince improving my tranny and any future mods I do...
BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS I AM LOOKING OUT FOR MY V6 CAMARO5 BROTHERS... NOT THE VENDORS.... it that gets me slapped, banned or worse so be....
