carolina auto masters? has anyone had their tuning done by Carolina Auto Masters?
They did a mail order base tune for me until I can break in my 402 & have it
dyno tuned.I have heard alot of good things but I would rather let the jury
speak from experience.
Any thoughts?

Seriously, he'll get you right and seriously tell him I said hey.

Do some more research on Jeff Creech. He's great for dyno numbers but that's where it ends. Don't expext your car to drive well around town......or backing it off the trailer for that matter. Then he will blame it on your TB, coil packs, etc.
Just remember this thread and report back to us a week after the tune. You know....when the dyno numbers wear off.

I travel a LOT for work, so I had CAM put in my engine and kit and get me a base tune to get my car moving (before I could tune as well) and he spent most of a week driving my car back and forth from work getting the street manners and idle right and rode around with me 2 times to make sure it acted the way I liked.
I have been back through my tune fully since then, moving up on the boost to 16psi and re-doing the fuel system. I have never re-touched any of his idle or off-idle tuning on the car as I have had no reason to whatsoever.

I will be having CAM custom grind my cam and Jeff will be doing the tuning on my car when I get home from Iraq. I have heard mostly good things about Jeff and his shop with the occasional unhappy customer.....I have gone on quite a few of the camaro forums on the east coast and the majority of the people who have had their cars tuned at CAM have been happy with their tuning

Cam I have a dyno tune from those guys and yes Jeff is a great guy to deal with. He really knows his stuff, my car drove great and performed excellent especially after his tune! No complaints here!

Now outside of my friends I have seen it posted over and over about the drivability issues. They take the car back (if they are local) and then Jeff will start saying the problem is with the car. TB, coil packs, spark plug wires, etc.
I'm glad some have had good experiences. Many haven't. The ones that have had good can post freely too. I thought some may want some of the negatives. Shoot me a PM and I can send you some links talking about his work.
I have nothing to gain from this. I haven't reccomended another place to take away his business. I don't tune except for a my car and few of my buds (and that's not for cash anyway). I just hate to see someone spend a bunch of cash and have a car they can't drive around the block.

His fix is to raise the idle way up and hope for the best. I'm looking at one of his tunes right now.
