Default Changes at Speed Inc

Yes, its true. Larry is no longer with Speed Inc. As the owner here, I would like to say a few things. First of all, he will be missed, after 10 years, I couldnt feel any other way, and expect to remain friends with him, and on good business terms with his new employer.

Secondly, our customer service will not be anything less than excellent. I will be currently overseeing all service, tuning, and dyno appointments, and I personally guarantee it. ......Finally, and most importantly, we have the same great technicians and tuner that we have always had, incorporating the most LSX experience you will find. Your car will be worked on and tuned by the same people, with the same quality service, at the same competitive pricing as before. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me personally.

Sorry to hear he is no longer with you guys'
But things change, and sometimes moving on is innevidable!
I'm sure Speed Inc. will continue offering the same great service to the LSx community as before.

Good Luck to Both Larry and Speed Inc.

email me and let me know the combo and if you are looking for a basic or full.

Keep in mind, we've tuned thousands of LSX based vehicles, so we usually jammed this time of year, but I will see what I can do

Tom,

Best of luck to you and Larry and as you know this type of change is all part of life and often times inevitable. Also, nice to hear that your personally taking over where Larry left off and that Larry parted on good terms, etc.

Best of luck.

Jim P.



ps-Tom, for my stock 06 C6 Z with just CAI and Bullet Exhaust, I would like to get a baseline dyno number, in order to determine what she is putting down at the wheels, b/f moving on to a dyno tune.

Can you shoot me a pm what you would charge me just to make one dyno pull to get a baseline number?

From there, once my extended warranty expires then on to a dyno tune with Mr. Moran (your top notch dyno tuner).
