Being fair, from reading the story I will tend to side with Dave-ROR here. Whomever tuned your car is the one that needs to take care of you. Sometimes us the customer have no idea what happends or what entails to get that "help" we think we need, and might be even misled by our "tuners" into thinking otherwise.
My example, I initially tuned with JV, he was always very responsive and quick to help when I needed it. I was waiting for him to come over and live tune but it did not happen in the time frame I needed and ended up going with FA20Club who is local to me. To make a long story short, what ended up happening is that after leaving the Dyno with FA20club's tune, my car would not start like a regular car, I would need to press the gas pedal after it started cranking for it to start.
I was MAD a Visconti because in my ignorance I thought AND was led to believe that the only thing needed was for JV to give me an injector calibration sheet and that was it...
well, I later found out it was not as simple as I was led to believe from FA20Club. It was not a matter of having a calibration sheet, set it and forget it. calibrating injectors takes time and patience and its a process that can take several hours or a few days. What I was asking from JV was to takes those hours he spent fine tuning the injector calibration for my models, and jsut hand it over in a gold plate to FA20Club. That would have been very stupid... I have learned that now with more experience and hands on tuning.
I even was an a-hole about it and called him out in the forum. I was an even BIGGER A-HOLE about his V1 FF kit.... Funny thing is, I AM running right now Visconti's stage 1 FF kit and learned that the fuel line issues where not what was portrayed. I am using fuel lines designed by my mechanic, yes, but no fancy AN fitting or anything like that, using regular screw hose clamps, rated hose and properly sized barbs. ZERO issues, not even a hint of fuel leak.
Even with ALL of the above, JV still to this day has helped me. I have texted and spoken on the phone several times even a few days ago, and he answers me and holds no grudges. We don't see eye to eye always, but nonetheless, he has offered and helped when there has been no reason to.
To conclude, I think this is one of the instances where JV did no wrong. He offered great help initially, spent his time doing so and charged nothing, why in the world should we expect him to do so again??
How many times would you work for free? If I were him I would have told you the same... Your current tuner needs to figure it out.
I've been in similar shoes, and my ignorance led me to blame JV. Well, it was not JV. FA20Club needed to step up to the plate and spent the time tuning my injectors.
