Ken down at eastside does an awesome job, just had my stall put in yesterday and he setup the shift points perfect, shifts just where it should. ESP

FI all the way, just have to save the cash & decide Turbo or Procharger. Don should be able to do a tune anytime. Normally he is booked for big jobs, but can squeeze in a tune. do you need the converter put in or just the tune?

We can't speak for Don obviously, but I'd think he could tune your car very quickly. It will take you a lot longer to drive there than it will for Don to tune your car!

So we'll be seeing your car next weekend with the new stall installed and tuned???

no i am putting it in at work, with a little help from the boss. so i just need the tune. turbo all the way. not that a procharger doesnt sound badass, but turbos are better...

ya u will see me next weekend with the stall, but with a tune looks like it might be a different story..
