I wasn't trying to bash your shop or anything like that at all. I've never had any personal experience with MotionLab. I do know someone that used to work there, so I asked them last night and that's what the reply was. I was simply reporting back to Brandon what was told to me. Brandon is a smart, particular customer when it comes to his Z. He, like me, will gather all the facts and make the best possible judgement on any modification for his 370, same as I do for any my vehicles.

I've heard the same thing from lots of people.

"particular" huh... Makes me sound like one of those picky kids that only eat chicken nuggets and pizza or something. For the record, so far it's down to Motion Lab or Z1. I've been the victim of a rough/poor tune in the past on my old WRX and I just want to make sure I make a better decision this time around.

Who do you know that used to work here out of curiosity? I don't understand how they would have come to that conclusion haha. We've made 800WHP on big turbo Evo(@41PSI) and Subaru(@38PSI), and over 600WHP on a stock block on the 370z platform. Also experience with high horsepower GM, including Motion Lab built LS motors, on our dyno via the HP Tuners software. 90% of the tuning we have done over the years has been forced induction.

Unfortunately some of our previous employees just weren't the right fit, and at times we have had to deal with disgruntled attitudes due to differences of opinions. Overall though we have to do what is right for our business and our customers and if their performance isn't up to par we have to make moves and deal with the attitude if it comes down to it.

Not trying to take a defensive stance on this, but just generally confused how Todd became a "mild tuner" versus being recognized for his actual skill level haha.

Thanks,
Alex Goodwin

And by facts you are referring to an event or occurence you didnt witness from a person no longer employed there? I would think that to be biased information.

I never claimed them to be "facts". Brandon was looking for opinions on the shop. My friend did not have a negative opinion of the shop at all. Yes, you could say he has a "biased" opinion of the shop as a former employee but if you knew this person, you would know what he said was how he really felt critically, not emotionally. He just mentioned he would probably choose another shop for a big turbo build on his own car. That information is not really relevant to Brandon.

Just saw this...guess I haven't been around enough. I razz people too hard sometimes and it comes across the wrong way. Should've realized its hard to interpret something like that in print. My bad and apologies to all, especially Patrick.

You have nothing to apologize for. Let's talk about it over a beer soon, my friend!
