Thumbs up Big Thanks to Ken at Eastside Performance and Dyno

I just wanted to post this up to thank Ken for all of the help that he gave me, tuning my car yesterday. Anyone looking for a great shop to deal with in the CT area. This is it. The story: I needed a retune for my head and car car because I added some new parts to it. We put it on the dyno and it runs like garbage, missing and backfiring. Ken climbed right under the hood, no bitching or complaining, and we changed out the plugs and wires. And this is on a 98 headed car, so it is a real PITA. Long story short, he got the car running right, tuned it. I gained about 50 hp and 50ft/lbs with only a header and intake change. And he was able to gain an additional 10 hp between 3000 and 5000 rpm which was awesome. Then came the bill, no charge for the spark plug and wire change, just a 2 hr dyno charge, and my car was sitting on the dyno for nearly 3 hrs. This was the best experience I have ever had with any shop, and I 've dealt with a bunch of them. Totally a stand up guy, great shop and great results. Thanks alot Ken. I'll post dyno results in the dyno section if anyone is interested. Thanks

Ive been up to Eastside Performance. It is a great shop and they do good work. About 3 years ago when my buddy bought his Goat I took the ride up there so he can drop his car off and then again when he had to pick it up. They had so many sick F-bodys sitting outside gettin all kinds of crazy set ups in them. At the time I still had a V6er but I look forward to taking my WS6 there when I'm ready.

Absolutely, I am 3 hours away from them, but I will never go anywhere else again. You just can't put a price on quality work and honest people.

Sad to say I am 4 minutes away from either shop and Kenny tune is spot on. When I have work for them to do next, it will be back there!

Great guys!
