Ouch. Road tuning aside... that's reason enough for me to stay away from Ed's operation. At S-Squared, since I know they're a licensed shop, if they break anything they're responsible for their work. If I go to pick up my car and the motor's blown, it's on them to make it right. That's worth the extra cost of the dyno tune right there.

...'course if I pick up the car and blow it up in Lovelock for example... well shame on me. But at least I know I'm covered from the shop's errors.

What do you think happens if Ed blows up a car while road tuning? Does he just blame it on the owner's driving? Does Ed have insurance? Has he protected himself personally from his business?

Not to keep harping on this... I'm just amazed at the risks (both financial and personal) Ed's willing to take to run his tuning business!
