Frequently asked questions
Do I sign the liability release online or at the dyno?
Both steps are used. Accepted customers complete the Service Terms / Liability Release electronically through DocuSign before appointment confirmation. The owner or authorized signer then signs a wet-ink facility copy upon arrival before vehicle operation, dyno testing, calibration changes, or road testing begins. Review the current release.
What ECUs do you work with?
Projects are reviewed by exact hardware, firmware and scope. Common platforms include Holley Terminator / HP / Dominator, Haltech, MoTeC, MegaSquirt, Link ECU, ECUMaster, Syvecs and other supported standalone systems.
Why does FEF say “platforms change, fundamentals don't”?
The software interface changes, but the core job remains the same: verify hardware, sensors, synchronization and measured timing; build a correct fuel and ignition strategy; control boost or torque where applicable; validate protections; and confirm the result with repeatable data.
Do you work on Volkswagen / R32 / VR6 / Corrado projects?
Selected Volkswagen performance projects are accepted. Project experience includes an R32/GT35 turbo combination, a supercharged VR6 Jetta and a Corrado 3.0 build. See the Volkswagen performance page.
Do you work on LS engines and LS swaps?
Yes. FEF accepts selected Gen III and Gen IV LS calibration work, including swaps and DOD-delete configurations. For the mechanical side, JP's Performance is heavily LS-focused and is known locally as “The LS Master,” with LS swap and installation work quoted by project.
Do you help with a vehicle that does not start?
Yes. First-start/no-start work is handled as commissioning and diagnosis first. Wiring, trigger/sync, measured timing, output assignment, fuel pressure and mechanical condition are verified before blaming calibration tables.
Do you tune turbo and supercharged vehicles?
Yes, accepted forced-induction projects can include fuel, ignition, boost-control, drivability and protection calibration after the base engine and fuel system are proven.
How much are dyno and tuning services?
Dyno-only service through Good From Far Garage is $80/hr. Good From Far Garage also offers Holley EFI tuning at $240/hr, with package options available based on the project. FEF Performance standalone dyno calibration on accepted projects starts at $240/hr. Exact scope, diagnostic time and required facility time can change the final cost.
Can you help with engine swaps or installation?
Yes. JP's Performance focuses heavily on LS-based swaps and builds, including Gen III / Gen IV combinations and supporting performance-install work. Projects are quoted individually, and selected standalone ECU installation/commissioning work can be coordinated with FEF.
Do you tune transmissions?
Transmission tuning is listed as coming soon and is not currently offered as a bookable FEF service.
How does booking work?
Start with the Standard Pre-Tune Intake. FEF reviews the vehicle and may request the Advanced Supplement. Accepted work then moves to the service agreement / DocuSign step and the applicable booking deposit.
