I have never heard of spartan until i came on to FTE. What I would like to know, is it worth waiting for six months for a tune?

As it has been posted in many threads recently be sure to email Evan directly instead of using the calibrations email.

I emailed Evan on May 19th. No response yet. I'm in the same boat as yount - been waiting for several months for some updates/fixes... We'll keep waiting I guess. I've got a several hundered mile trip in a couple weeks, and it would sure be nice to run an econ tune...

I think I remember reading that Evan was on vacation for a little while, so you're email might have gotten lost during that time. I would try again.

No it's not..IMHO try Eric at Innovative Diesel, you will get your tunes in a day or two! AND..He actually answers emails! I can't get anything from Spartan!

I just talked to evan the other day, hes back now and trying to get everyone caught up. He told me hes poping about 30+ tunes a night. Try to be patient guys, he dose have a full time job, and as noted before, send the request to evans email instead of the request folders.

I just sent the request again, hope I'm senting it to the right address ('efoster@spartandieseltech.com').
Maybe sending a weekly reminder will help. Didn't want to flood his inbox but after many months of waiting I don't know what to do anymore.

not a bad idea, he was gone for a while on a vacation and family buisness. Theres prob a possibility that some files were unnotised at the time. Now you got the new email to him give him just a little bit, hes hitting them as quick as he can at the moment. He WILL take care of ya, just trying to get everything straightened out as quick as possible.

WOW, 30+ tunes a night, thats great. To get back to my original question, I'd like to hear from folks that received these tunes to see how there doing, especially with the newer VXCF4X3 strategy.

Well, glad to hear that I'm not the only one been waiting forever. It's been January since I have heard anything from Spartan. I got a tune I was looking for, and it just needs a couple of small tweaks to be just right, and can't even get a reply from Spartan. Really bummed out. I understand being busy, but an email giving a time frame or at least acknowlegement that your request was received would be nice.

What was Evan's email again? I'll have to try him direct and see what happens.

Thanks,
Derek
