Default Virginia Speed..

Hey Guys,

Thinking about getting some work done at Virginia Speed. I've read a lot of good reviews and quite a few not so good reviews. Just wanted to get a honest opinion of their work quality wise and their customer service as of late.

Thank you.

Not sure about the work they do. I got a price quoted from them and performance autosport in Richmond, ended up going with them. Great work, cheaper, and that's where the 'Frost' dues his tuning. I've read some iffy stuff about VASpeed.in the past also.

Frost tunes out of a shop in Richmond and as far as I know has never tuned at va speed unless maybe it was a one time group tuning.

Yea that's what I said. He runs at performance autosport, which is where I went for my torque converter install.

John is absolutely the best choice in your area. You'd be hard pressed to find someone who knows more about the LSX platform. And you'll never find a nicer guy to deal with.

Why not hit up Rick Kim's shop and have Ed Hutchings do the tuning?

What kind of work does John at Broadview do? I'm looking to head a Head/ Cam package done to the 5.3 in the truck in preparation for a ProCharger. I'm just looking for someone/shop that does quality work and I don't mind paying for quality work if everything is done correctly the first time.
