Ive retuned a few cars from him and seen a few other of his tunes. NOT impressed at all.

A lot of the tips on there are inaccurate too. You will get both opinions here.

I'll say that when someone puts 50 degrees of timing, ANYWHERE in an LT1 table, I wouldn't trust them to tune a lawnmower...

PCMforless is in the same boat IMO.

His tune in my car was GARBAGE and he refused to help out with it. Worst customer service you can imagine, and several of my friends have had the same experience.

I tune all my own stuff now and several others cars, but if I had to use a tuner it would only be Moe Bailey or Ed Wright.

Ion at madtuner does good work too, I dont agree with a few things he does but it will be a damn close tune that will work well for most people out there.

I used Solomon a while back when I made the switch to MAF. Shortly after I had it dyno tuned by a reputable guy locally that knows LT1's. Solomon didn't do too bad of a job. Maybe a freak case? I will say though he has the best customer service (out of the mail order bride tuners I used - pcmforless and madz28). Ion at Madz28/MadTuner is very good as well.

He tuned my car very well. I'm gonna have him tune the PCM again after my cam swap.

If you have tunercats and data master I just got a Email tune from Madtuner.com MadzZ28. I Just loaded it and so far so good. It's a hell of a lot better than my first tuner. I still need to do a data log but It Idles so nice now. 870 to 920rpm insted of 1100. I have an untouched BBk 52mm on there as well that needs to be drilled for Idle air and then it should be spot on at idle in and out of gear but it's very close right now. Runs with more power too. Second gear romps have my newer 275 tires blowin off of it from a 2300 stomp. It's an auto as well lol.

He tuned my car. Runs very well. Very little cam surge. I would recommend him to anyone.
