We're actually pretty much snow free here in Northern Ontario, as well.

Hey Ryan, you ever been to Steeda.ca in Milton? I had my Cougar XR7 dyno tunned there in 2007 when Paul was still there.

I work next door to them .... Well in a manner of speaking... But I am there at least once a week. I don't know Paul but I'm getting to know Pat and Todd pretty well. They are a great bunch of guys there.

Yeah, Pat and Todd run the place. Paul was their tuner for the longest time. He was one of only 3, Level 3 SCT tuners in Canada at the time and was really great at what he did, but he left about 2-years ago and went to work for his father or something. Pat's been running the dyno since. He's got to be getting pretty good at it by now.

They are a great bunch. I've only talked to Todd a couple of times. Gotta watch Pat though....he's Italian and a salesman at heart. I don't think I've come out of there once without him talking me into spending less than $300. Good guy though. They had a database crash a couple of years back and lost a bunch of tunes. I needed them to make modifications to my original tune because Paul originally locked out the timing function when he did it and I needed the ability to add more timing so I could take advantage of the race gas when I ran my car at the track. Since the file was lost, Pat sent me a $180 Steeda manual timing adjust free of charge. Hard to beat customer service like that.

Wow that is awesome that they did that for you. A lot of places would have just said "hahaha it sucks to be you".

Pat is a really good salesman. Upsell anything he can. He's got me sold on a couple of the Steeda parts. He can't be to bad on the dyno, they have it running at least 4 times a day in the summer and some of the cars just sound absolutely FANTASTIC. If I end up getting my truck tuned and on the Dyno I shall let you know how he does.
