Breaking Bad is on Netflix too. I'm just starting season 5. Also love Big Bang Theory but I don't have TV and it isn't on Netflix/Hulu so I resort to other methods.

Speaking of tuning, is there an overwhelming favorite between EFI Live and HP Tuners? Assuming some breakthrough has been achieved using one or the other, like say Matt @ FSP finds a few more hp somewhere, do all shops that tune with that tuning application get the benefit or do they have to figure it out themselves? I would assume at least base profiles exist for both tuning applications for the LFX now that any shop could work with right?

Do most shops tend to lock their work on your car so nobody else can touch it or was that just a Trifecta thing I heard about?

I already watched Breaking Bad. I think I watched every good show that Netflix has available right now.

Lmfao so the Redskins aren't gonna play RG3 anymore since they don't want to risk him getting hurt. So of course I have no other QB on my team and I can't pick one up since we were given a budget at the beginning of the season and I don't have enough cash to pick up a new QB, fml

I got my headers! But, one of them looks kinda rough. I've also added a picture of the other header which seems fine to contrast. Should I be worried? Also, I only got two extensions. I thought they supplied three?

It was a phone interview and I never do well with them. She asked a lot of questions I couldn't answer.


About the leads, yes I have another interview tomorrow.

Speaking of tuning, is there an overwhelming favorite between EFI Live and HP Tuners? Assuming some breakthrough has been achieved using one or the other, like say Matt @ FSP finds a few more hp somewhere, do all shops that tune with that tuning application get the benefit or do they have to figure it out themselves? I would assume at least base profiles exist for both tuning applications for the LFX now that any shop could work with right?

Do most shops tend to lock their work on your car so nobody else can touch it or was that just a Trifecta thing I heard about?
There's really no overwhelming favorite. Some tuners use one and others use the other. Personal preference really.

About the breakthrough, no that is unique to the tuners. That's what distinguishes a good tuner from another. Some are just better at it. I'm not sure I understand your base profile question. The way it works is simple. Hp tuners or EFI live develop a program that allows tuners to successfully alter parameters of a car. After that, it's all the tuner.

Locking tunes is generally up to the tuner. It's actually a topic of much debate. But most respected tuners don't lock tunes. Also, trifecta doesn't lock their tunes. Just so u know.

Well... Haven't got anything for bee in awhile so talking to tyler at JDP about the new Elite CC to replace the one in my kit. Then possibly Pfadt subframe bushings and Upper control arm bushings fairly soon.

After the CC, going to meet a member to buy his pre cut (black) stock hood and get the ACS insert for it. Then some Gauges and paint my GFX.

Good to know! By base profile I meant something along the lines of if enough tuners have all tuned the same ECM/vehicle then perhaps the software vendors might have basic tunes available for download. Based on your answer to the other question though, it sounds like it's totally up to the tuner and their skill/experience.

Reason I ask is because I hear lots of good things about Matt @ FSP but I'd rather not have to drive to him, make him come to me, or deal with the issues of remote trial and error. There is a shop local here in Tallahassee that is known to do great work, including tuning with HP Tuners. As soon as I get some more mods worth tuning (like say nitrous), I'll want to get it done. For now, mere speculation on my part.
