The rumor is correct. Matt has been doing most of the tuning over the last 10 months though.

Bill, tuning has basically been Matt's job for awhile now. Now, if your good with a wrench, then we can talk. As soon as the new year hits, we'll be up to our necks in work.

It is really tough to find someone who knows their stuff. I've talked to a few shop owners of late. Turnover is the word that they are all telling me.

the only wrench turning i enjoy doing is installing & removing my wideband before & after tuning people  I've been tuning v6 & v8 cars for well over a year now and have been a beta tester for hptuners stuff for the past few months. If matt ever wants to hand over the tuning you know where to find me

Mike, if you guys need a part-timer around the shop, I'd be able to. I have some skills, and can do basic maintainence stuff too. I don't need even benefits, my fulltime job with crappy teacher's salary covers that.

Sounds good! You can be the fulltime wrench, and I'll be your assistant on some weeknights and Saturdays.

What has this thread turned into 
We have a little time before we would need someone here anyway. I would rather have someone here full-time though.

TTP should hire Ian and I. I'd be interested in the spring if theres an opening then. I'm not SAE though, never cared to do it, mainly dealers want that. But i do know my stuff and a while back I worked 2 years at a shop in teaneck and could provide references.
