Jeff still doing AP tunes?

I emailed him a couple times without a reply and seen a few people looking for him lately.

Basically, I'm thinking of going from my RB flash to a MM tune but want to make sure he's still around before purchasing it on his site. I also noticed it says "banned" under his name on the board. I don't need the details but am just wondering if anyone knows if he's still doing tunes and all that.

thanks

Beware MM, hes banned for a reason, not producing product after receiving money.

Beware of people being banned, just a heads up. I'm not saying he's not trustworthy, but just be careful, that's all.

such is the purpose of my post. seems hes still tuning and i'll chat with him during his next scheduled google talk session before buying. So far I've only done a lightweight fly wheel so i'm not certain an ap tune is even necessary yet. will do rb duct intake hack, bhr midpipe (with cat) and rb exhaust depending on them showing up for a good price in the used sections. might want to save the tune for that time.

yeah my take is that without a midpipe or turbo, you wont get any more power from an AP tune.
some "accessory" benefits yes (smoother idle, increased OMP rate, etc), but not more power.

And really, he was banned for a reason, be wise...

I sold my AP with a tune from him a few months ago. I figured after he was banned from here the secondhand price of the units would plummet.... Look for a used one if you can.

people will argue about jeff like they do what oil to use in our cars. jeff has tuned my car remotely and recently on a dyno. i havent had a problem with his service. that being said there are other people that can tune your car.

I spent lots of money with Jeff, and never had an issue with service. That being said, that was only "my" experience. I tried to learn the tuning process by taking his classes, but it seems I am just a dumb *** when it comes to trying to figure this out on my own. I will be tuning my car now with the help of a few close friends using my AP and ATR.
