Default A BIG thanks to Slowhawk!!!

I just wanted to once again thank Don for the awesome job he did tuning my car. It was previously tuned by another shop and I had a big issue with fuel consumption, driveability and really wasnt happy with the power it made, so after a year of it sitting in the driveway I decided to take it to Don and have him work his magic. To say the least I left very satisfied with how everything turned out, previously it made 388/367 and got about 80 miles to a full tank,
with nothing changed to the setup besides new plugs and tuning the car made 407/378, so far I put about 100 miles on the car today and it runs great and fuel ecomony more then doubled!!!!!

+1, never met anyone who gives the service that Don gives. He doesnt make you feel like an idiot but rather explains things fully and only sells you what you need, not what will make him the most money. I NEED to get another LSx powered vehicle again so I can head back down there for another cam or maybe an FI install. Glad to hear your car finally got the attention it needed, must make a whole world of difference to love your car once again!

Don is the man. He does something no tuner wants to do --- Tune **** that he did not build , choose or assemble. He takes the time to get it right.
