I agree. He tuned my car and I have since sent several others to him, some from eastern CT. He really takes his time and does a conservative tune you don't have to worry about on the street. He is also on this forum under the name "Slowhawk".

Don is awesome. He tamed my monster cam (234/240 598/608 114LSA) in a bolt on automatic C5. 100% streetable now, idles with the AC on in traffic, no surging, no bucking, no hesitation and it pulls like a freight train above 3500 rpm

384rwhp, 364rwtq with just a cam and bolt ons.

Don at Dez Racing - you can't go wrong.

Thanks all, and "chef" thank you very much for the response I will keep you in mind, however Dez racing was fairly close I went there and yes he did a great job.
