been trying to get ahold of him for a month or more now with no luck. Emails, text and phone calls. Nothing....

Anyone else?
 
Nope. I called and left a message about 2 weeks ago. I've tagged him on here at least twice. Today I messaged them on Facebook. I know they're busy so I'm just waiting my turn. Sooner or later they'll reply. I would like them to work on my wiring harness and do a tune so I can get the 454 installed in the K5.
 
I called him too and left a message. Racing stuff takes a ton of time im sure..
 
Yea I have called, messaged on Instagram and texted. Nothing. Bummer he was doing some great stuff
 
He is on the road. Doesn't get to check his messages much. Be patient, he will get to you.
I understand that. I have worked with him several times. Been about three months I have been trying to reach him. Was curious if anyone has heard from him or if he is just tuning the ultra guys now.
 
He has been posting lots of videos on Facebook. Maybe he can be found via that route....??
 
@blazinzuk could probably get in touch with him.


He is so backlogged right now it isn't funny.

He will get to ya. Also he spends alot of time on the road. He does more than half of the ultra 4 field.

I'll mention this thread to him. But that is no garuntee he will have time to get to ya

Growing pains for people like 208. Good company but too small to offer support after the initial tune. I've gone through this type of thing with other builds in the past. You will be miles ahead finding someone else at this point. There many many many other quality tuners for the LS platform.
 
I disagree. I got support after the initial tune. It did take a week for contact but once I got it the support was excellent. I was surprised to get the attention I did from him actually as I am nobody special in the wheeling world. But he took the time to help me out despite his hectic schedule and my lack of experience on the subject.

Patience is a virtue and not all tuners are the same. There is a reason his tunes take most podium places at events....

I think you are making some assumptions here. I have worked with Josh for about a year and a half now and been very happy and impressed with the level of work he has done for me

I remember last year at king of the hammers him taking time out of tuning and working for several teams to take a look and help me with my tune we also collaborated on some data logging and a video that I put up on my channel

It has been about six months since I last spoke with Josh despite regular attempts and I wanted to see if anyone knew if he was still working with individuals or focused specifically on teams

I have some more work I need to get done and felt I should approach him before I went somewhere else. that is the rationale behind my question I understand he is busy and deservedly so I am trying to find out whether he is even interested in working on the Private user level anymore

Yeah, I am by no means bagging on 208. It's a normal growing pain. My assumption is that he has to take care of the people that are putting food on the table first and then try to get to everyone else. I don't he is doing anything on purpose and probably has all the best intentions in the world. Reality is that he makes a good product and he does not have enough of himself to go around. I truly hope he can find some quality help and grow his business. Until then... people like the original poster will have to wait. I was only trying to post my past experience with tuning/tuners and hope that 208 succeeds in the future.

Lol. I wasn't referring to you and I am the OP.

I just feel obligated to Josh as he helped me out a ton. Going somewhere else is not what I necessarily want to do unless the end user isn't his focus anymore.
 
I don't have very much experience with Josh just the one tune that he did for me but I know that he did take the time out to help me out and I'm just one private individual it will be interesting to see what his responses to all these posts I have a feeling that his focus is on the tune itself bigger badder motors which unfortunately the typical private user doesn't have anymore. sounds like he needs an apprentice or two
