Ellis is the man! hey ellis i just got home yesterday from Iraq "2 week R an R" an the first thing i did was went an got the car dynoed since they were having a dyno days thing close to my home. (came home just at the right time). Well a little background with my car before i took it to ellis. I knew it wasnt running right when i got it dynoed at Turbo Tech in Tacoma, 276 rwhp/307 rwtq I took it to Ellis to see if he could help an the car definitely ran better but i needed some numbers to see just how much of an improvement it was. 2 pulls, 312 rwhp/312rwtq. Thats a 36 rwhp gain just from tuning! she needs to be serviced since its been sitting for quite awhile but i was happy with the numbers since i dont have much for power mods. thanx again ellis!

Ellis definitely knows some "Secrets"! His tune was only worth an extra 5hp on my wifes GTO (in addition to the 25 the air filter he stuck on it was worth), but it was worth 3/10ths at the track! (4 with the filter) Best $ you can spend IMO!!!

On the way to Amy's yesterday to take her to pick up her car from Kirkland Pontiac, I ran into an Electron Blue ZO6. We started talking a bit and asked me if I knew Speed Secrets. I told him that is who does all my work. It is amazing to me (in a good way) to see so many people getting to know the handywork of the Groo-meister.

I was sitting at the light there on 124th and watched him come up behind me in the mirror. Then he stopped right next to me and the first words out of his mouth were, "What have you done to it?" I gave him the abridged run down and he asked me if I knew any F-body guys in the area. "Lots," I told him. Then he asked if I knew a shop in Monroe called Speed Secrets. I laughed and said, "That's the guy who does all my work." Then he said to be sure to "tell Ellis I said hi." So 
from Joe.
