Also, does anyone have experience with Travis (@ Fast) doing tuning work? Their web site talks about his training with SCT... I'm not local enough to know all these guys by name like you guys do.

The SCT course, from what I have heard, is nice for someone who is relatively new to the software. The AEM course is supposedly the same way- going to one or the other will not teach you to tune effectively. That requires experience and more hands on instruction. There are other courses available that, in my opinion, can create a better tuner from the start. Anyway, don't read too much into FAST's hype about Travis attending the SCT course. I view their use of that course as more of a marketing ploy. I have seen some of his "finished" vehicles that have either had tune issues or have had mismatched parts (too large of injectors, etc.). I am sure FAST has safely tuned many vehicles. However, I have seen enough red flags that I would stick with BOP or KKP.

Hmmm to this statement.

I have had work done at both AFP and KKP and feel you can't go wrong with either one.

AllFordPerf · Sep 18, 2006

I like AFP. Those guys are great!

Tim Ballz · Sep 18, 2006

AFP
BOP
and KKP is what I would recommend..

Unless you want something fast, then go to RRev Motorsports. They have a 9 sec. 86 Mudstain.

If you re-read the post, Jon was talking about Blue Oval not Fast Specialties. Did you talk to Chung about his price on them? I haven't bought a ton of stuff from Chung, but everything I have bought from him was within the price of most of the mail-order places.

Yes i did look at the first sentence . I said try is the key word. Refereing to chung it wasent the wires but i did try that and he could'nt match summits price.I was refering to fast as being that expensive and usualy most locals are close to the same. I choose summit you choose chung peace

For as many questions as you have, why don't you take a couple hrs of your time and venture into both locations and see for youself. They are within a mile of each other. Blue Oval and All Ford are in the same building. Blue Oval sells the parts and All Ford does the handy work that we all have grown too love Fast is right down the street. Both locations are open normal business hrs. Good luck on your hunt

John, some of the things you type, I have to read over and over to try and understand what it is your trying to say through the keyboard. Very difficult sometimes. Please proof read what you type before sending it. If it dont make since too you, then its probably pretty safe bet either will we

Terrydf go to the shops and chat with them for a bit and see for yourself! As you can see everyone on here have there prefence's. Damn i thought i only confused myself with what i say/type peace

I will give it to the Stang, it has taken some abuse... Although the Supra did too until we gave it the "Ford" 200shot BTW, We may be shaking the Supra down this weekend..

Perhaps I stand corrected?

EDIT: Well what do you know, I was thinking KKP.

It's all good. Made me think for a second.

And that my friend is where the danger begins!

I think the main thing to take from all of this is that all the shops are pretty much friendly with each other (to the point of knowing where their wives shop for purses ) , and all will have their die-hard fans and their haters.

Sorry, off topic, but: (CLICK PIC FOR VIDEO)

StangRider1 · Sep 19, 2006

Hi guys,

Who, what, and where is KKP? I know roughly where AFP/BOP and FAST are, but haven't heard anything about KKP 'til I read this post. Anybody willing to guide me?

THX,

Kerry

gospeedgo · Sep 19, 2006

Yeah Jon, where ARE you guys anyway?

somewhere out towards Beaverton last I heard

KKP is Krazy Koncepts Performance

Jon · Sep 19, 2006

We (KKP) will be opening the new location (142nd and TV HWY) hopefully the first week of October! Can't wait to get everything set up over there.

Jon · Sep 19, 2006

Uh oh, that might get me banned.

Your already planning. The parking is not adequate for what your thinking.
