I never said Al is anything but one of the good guys. In fact, after learning many things about this upgrade, I'm considering this issue closed with Al even though I have things to address as I did not receive one of his stellar tunes (not my words, but instead the words from my lead dyno tech) and I have a fuse box lead rewire and paint fix to address after a quick fuse box repair was done. Additionally, I hope Al offers a friendly nod if we ever cross paths in the future as I know I will extend one to him. I did learn a lot from this upgrade and I wish there were more 3.2 before and after dyno posts to base their upgrade decisions on when I was making decisions over this upgrade. I was due for notable maintenance on my factory 3.2 system for the soft fuel lines and related, which is not cheap and which was the motivating factor on going with Al's Option 2 kit. After discussion and research, we both agreed would be a notable upgrade to an older system. We did not get the 15% upgrade numbers we hypothesized (no guarantees footnote here). I also learned while he refused to do any additional work on my car, an owner does not have much options around that decision except for contesting original billing charges or legal action, neither of which I plan on doing.
