Mikey did some work on my car and tuned it, he is one of the best around.
The 'base' tune he put on after the cam install to get it running and to the dyno was only 6HP off the final tweaked numbers, he knows his stuff.

He did a mild cam in my Firebird a while back.

I honestly can say I've never heard any complaints about him or his work in years on these boards.
